Washington Women Rescued
Maybe Bill was in town.
Did Kennedy drive off another bridge, into the Potomac this time?
They said her husband was in the seat taking a lie-detector test when the news came in.
She has been trapped in a car in a ravine for 8 days and no-one knew where she was.
Fox just found out that she wasn’t a 19 year old blonde with a big rack.
Once they learned that, they decided there wasn’t any reason to cover the story.
I have no idea why some story happening across the country about a minor bus crash, a stuck dog, a robbery done bad, an idiot who shoots his big toe off.
Why do they think I care???
Endless filler for mindless droids

Missing woman found alive, trapped in car
By Jennifer Sullivan and Lauren Vane
Seattle Times staff reporters
Tanya Rider had last been seen Sept. 19 in Bellevue.
A Maple Valley woman who went missing from Bellevue on Sept. 19 was found alive today, trapped in her car near Renton
A Washington State Patrol spokesman said 33-year-old Tanya Rider was found inside the vehicle, which had crashed in a steep ravine. Rider's blue Honda Element was found on Highway 169, below Southeast 196th Street, around 2:30 p.m.
"She looks very pale, very dehydrated. She didn't have a lot of cuts but had difficulty breathing," said State Patrol spokesman Jeff Merrill. "It's hard to say whether she has been there the entire [time]."
Merrill said Rider's car went off the roadway and tumbled about 20 feet down the ravine where it was buried below heavy brush and blackberry bushes. He said it took about 1 ½ hours for a fire department trench rescue team to pull her out. Rescuers had to slice the roof off Rider's car to get her out.
She has been airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Tom Rider, Tonya Rider's husband, said this afternoon that he hadn't yet talked to his wife. He was at the hospital awaiting her arrival.
"She's talking to the responders and alert," he said. "That's all I know"
Merrill said crews don't know how long Rider has been trapped in the ravine. He described the area as "being steep, rugged and not easily accessible."
Rider was last seen leaving work at the Fred Meyer store in Bellevue. The King County Sheriff's Office has been searching for her since then. The sheriff's office major crimes team detectives found Rider after following her normal route home, State Patrol Sgt. Dave Divis said.
Divis said Rider responded when rescuers called her name.
"We have a lot of unanswered questions right now," Merrill said. "It's fortunate she was found. Probably had it been any longer she might not have survived."
For the record can you tell us how a robbery is done good?
:oP
Sneaking official documents out of the National Archives, destroying them or altering them with impunity, and never spending a night in jail... that was pretty good...
Gary Condidit is baaaaaaaaaack!
“Fox just found out that she wasnt a 19 year old blonde with a big rack.”
Ah, um, Do you have any stories about 19 year old blonds with big racks?
That actually should have read "a robbery gone bad" not done bad.
Yeah but he got caught. I was thinking D.B. Cooper, that that was done good. :o)
Jeff Foxworthy can beat that one!! With a beaver story...
