DELRAY BEACH, FL — A Delray Beach woman was rescued from a storm drain this week, nearly two years after police found her naked and stuck in another storm drain weeks after her boyfriend reported her missing.
According to a report by WFLA, Delray Beach police responded to a canal near Lindell Boulevard after someone reported a person in possible distress. When officers arrived, they asked a woman later identified as Lyndsey Kennedy if she needed help; however, she ignored them and climbed into a storm drain pipe, WFLA reported.
Police said Kennedy refused to leave the drain and was removed after firefighters contained her between two sections of pipe, according to WFLA.
The incident comes nearly two years after Kennedy was found naked and stuck in a storm drain after being reported missing three weeks earlier. In March 2021, she told authorities she became lost walking in the sewer system.
Kennedy told police she went for a swim in a canal near her boyfriend’s home, reports said. While swimming, she found a doorway near a shallow area of the canal and entered it.
Curious, she followed a tunnel she found and got lost, walking around the sewer system for nearly 3 weeks, CBS 12 News reported. She said she began yelling when she saw people walking by the sewer drain.
Three months later, Kennedy was rescued from a second storm drain in Grand Prairie, Texas, after she wandered off from the rehab facility where she was staying, WFLA reported.
She was reported missing on May 26 and found safe three days later, according to Grand Prairie police.
Kennedy was taken to a hospital in the Grand Prairie area and placed under a psychiatric hold, reports said. Her family said she suffers from psychosis and PTSD because of a years-long abusive relationship.
