Lady Missing for 49 Days in Wilderness

In Boise, Idaho, 56 year old, Rita Chretien, was found on Friday after missing for 49 days. She was found by hunters who had spotted her van on a national forest road in Elko County. Her husband, Albert, still remains missing. The doctors said Rita was very close to dying from starvation. She lost a total of 20-30 lbs while she was stranded. The couple had run into trouble with their van and Albert had left on foot with a GPS looking for help. He never returned. Police say the terrain is very rugged and tough to search, they described it as a "spiderweb." The search will continue for Albert.

  1. I was amazed when I saw this story. It said she only had trail mix and water from a nearby stream. I was thinking...49 days...how much trail mix did she have?

    I also hope they find the guy alive too!
