DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (WFLA) – A Florida woman who was reported missing on March 3 was rescued from a storm drain Tuesday, authorities said.
The unidentified woman, believed to be in her 40s, was found naked and trapped in a storm drain in Delray Beach. Someone passing by heard her cries for help and called 911, officials said.
Firefighters responded and removed the storm grate, lowered down a ladder and lifted the woman to safety.
“She was unable to stand up,” Delray Beach Fire Rescue spokeswoman Dani Moschella told WPLG. “She didn’t have any clothes on. She was very dirty. She had some superficial wounds. Her knees were all scraped up.”
It’s still unclear how the woman ended up in the storm drain or how long she had been down there. It’s impossible for an adult to fit through the entrance, Moschella said.
“She claims that she’s been in the storm drain for a significant amount of time,” Delray Beach Police spokesman Ted White told the Sun-Sentinel. “The biggest question is how long she has been in there, how did she get in there and why?”
Officials said the woman was reported missing to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office on March 3. No foul play is suspected.
“From the police department standpoint, we don’t believe there was any type of crime committed,” White said. “It doesn’t feel like she was taken against her will. It appears this was done by her own free will.”
“She was lucky,” Moschella said. “I don’t know how much longer she would have been OK down there. The idea that somebody might be down there for any length of time is disturbing. It’s dirty, dangerous, there’s snakes, rats, garbage, dirt and leaves, anything that’s on the street that washes into a sewer, and it smells terrible.”
Paramedics evaluated the woman before she was taken to Delray Medical Center. Her condition was not disclosed.
Thanks for the distinction.
This smells fishy
I normally wear clothes when accessing a storm drain.
Police and rescue may naturally be cynical. They may be wrong about her case.
She should be wary of hepatitis B
Was she found with boxes of ballots?
“the” entrance... storm drains have numerous entrances. They also have rather large exits.
I’m on the side with the Grey Goose notion. She went down there on a wild love affair with John Barleycorn.
He got her nekkid once he had ahold of her. He ravaged her. Then he dumped her. He left her down there by herself. He’s a dirty rotten son-of-a-biscuit, that John Barleycorn. Keep him away from your women folk.
It was only a matter of time before Florida woman demanded an equal footing with Florida man.
Worst of all, she was not wearing a mask.
And then there’s ‘nekkid’.
‘Naked’ is when you have no clothes on.
‘Nekkid’ is when you have no clothes on and you’re up to something...
Any pichures?
Tan Mom?
“The unidentified woman, believed to be in her 40s ...”
WTF?
😂🤣
Daily Mail has pics. She’s a pretty woman- 43 yrs with a history of drug abuse and poor judgment (according to her mother!!).
This story is off the charts. How does anyone survive for 3 weeks in a drainage system?
20 DAYS????
