The young girl shared her ordeal with her family and rescuers, recounting that she had become separated from the group as they were returning to a footbridge over the Cle Elum River and couldn't find her way back alone.
After an intense search, two KCSR Ground Team volunteers, John Sand and Liz Pachaud, made a remarkable discovery around 3:00 pm Monday. They found Shunghla alive, with only minor scrapes, about 1.5 miles south from where she was last seen, on the west side of the river. Snohomish County Swiftwater personnel used an inflatable rescue watercraft to bring her safely to the east side of the river, where she was joyfully reunited with her father.
He also helped translate on behalf of her father who said, "'I was unbelievable that we found her alive, because it was cold and there was animals, and I’m proud to have a daughter like her.'" Shunghla shared her ordeal with her family and rescuers, recounting that she had become separated from the group as they were returning to the footbridge and couldn't find her way back alone. Determined to stay safe, she hiked downstream through the dense forest and spent a cold night between some trees. She demonstrated remarkable resourcefulness and resilience throughout the ordeal.
