A WOMAN FOUND NAKED IN WILDERNESS, NARRATE HOW SHE SURVIVED 3 WEEKS IN THE WOODS
Lisa Theris, was announced missing on the 18 July, and her family feared the worst. But last Sunday, a woman driving down a country road outside of Union Springs, Alabama, spotted a naked woman and called the police.
“I just passed a road and there’s a lady that, she came out of the woods naked and she’s been sick. She’s been in the woods for three weeks,” the caller told 911 dispatchers.
When the police finally had her in their custody, they thought she lost about 40 pounds and noted that she suffered deep cuts, bug bites, poison ivy stings and sunburn.
Lisa recounted how she survived by feeding on berries, mushroom and drinking from puddle of water.
“If it rained I’d have to like squeeze the water out of my hair and drink it,” Theris, a former waitress and radiology student, said. Lisa.
She continued: “It was all about finding the road or finding a person. I couldn’t even hear any cars the whole time I was out there until the end.”
She also revealed how she found a large walking stick in the woods that helped her to get around and finally to the open road. How she ended up in the wilderness is still unclear, but the officials believes she was with two men she had met recently before she went missing.
When asked if she thought she was drugged, She answered: “It would make sense – but I’m not sure.”
“I think I heard that may be so,” her father, William Theris, added.
Around the time Lisa went missing, she was supposed to appear in court on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge. That case was dropped last Thursday when the court presumed she had died. Police told ABC News they believe Theris survived in the woods, but say there’s a lot more to her story.
