Woman missing since 2020 found living in tent in Utah canyon, eating moss and grass

A woman who went missing nearly six months ago was found living in a tent in a national forest in Utah, subsisting on a diet including grass and moss — after a drone that was searching for her crashed nearby, authorities said.

The 47-year-old, who wasn’t publicly identified, was discovered Sunday in a remote campground of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, the Utah County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

“This woman… had lost a significant amount of weight and was weak, but she was apparently also resourceful,” the statement said. Authorities believe the woman voluntarily chose to move to Diamond Fork Canyon — and had been surviving on a small amount of food she brought with her, as well as grass and moss. She also had access to water from a nearby river.

George survived on grubs and puddle water and figured out how to make a good trade.

She must not be using the nearby river too effectively otherwise, they’d have a pic of her. Must’ve been a total mess.

The killer was caught by chance after a member of the public reported a car in the Forest of Dean during lockdown.

Seems like a rather extreme way to avoid being exposed to covid. But better than wearing a mask for 6 months.

She might need some of that horse wormer that the anti-vaxxers have been crowing about. ;)

6 months means she wintered there - how much snow does that area get?
