Woman missing for months found alive; foraged for grass, moss to survive: Utah officials

A 47-year-old woman missing for months has been found alive in Diamond Fork in Utah County.

A "resourceful" 47-year-old woman missing for months has been found alive in a tent in Utah County, Utah, telling officials she foraged for grass and moss to survive. Officials believe the woman -- who was weak and had lost weight when found Monday -- chose to stay in the Diamond Fork area over the last few months, the Utah County Sheriff's Office said. Search and rescue crews first looked for her in December after finding an abandoned car and camping equipment. "Over the next several months efforts were made to identify and contact family without success," the sheriff's office said Monday. "Detectives did make contact with this woman's former co-workers but they did not get any information that suggested where this woman might be. They did, however, find information that suggested this woman might struggle with mental health challenges."
