A woman vanished 17 days ago hiking in a Maui forest. Then a search helicopter made a pass.
By Alex Horton Alex Horton General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow May 25 at 3:55 PM Amanda Eller ventured into a dense forest in Hawaii on May 8, confident her three-mile hike would finish so quickly that her phone and water were unnecessary. She left behind her wallet and her keys, hidden in her car’s tire well for when she returned.
Eller was found alive Friday, sunburned and smiling. A helicopter search team contracted by her family spotted her four miles from her car, gaunt after surviving on plants and water, a friend told KITV. She was airlifted to a hospital. She ate moths and wild strawberry guavas, her mother Julia Eller told Maui News. She could identify those. Other plants were risky and unknown meals. A flood took her shoes, leaving her barefoot and crawling.
“It was unbelievable, dude,” Cantellops told CNN. “Seeing her for the first time in a long time was just unbelievable. It was nothing short of elation.”“She lost quite a bit of weight, as you can imagine, being lost for that amount of time,” Eller said, Maui News reported. “But she was able to survive it. She had the right skills and did the right things to buy time so that we had a chance to find her.
