I'm really struggling to believe this. Honestly, this sounds like a disappearance for attention.
If this happened, as is told, REALLY, would you tell your adult son about this?
No. I might say I was chased by a crazy man with a knife, but there is NO WAY I would tell that self-congratulating story about my privates and how much this knife wielder wanted me. No.
It's a SUPER weird detail. The terror of that encounter easily could have been conveyed to her son (and the WHOLE WIDE WORLD) without including that.
And while we're being skeptical, if they had chosen such a remote campsite, as they were known to do, and she had been married to her husband for that long, why did she have to go SO far to pee? Is she that modest around him?
I know she wouldn't have wanted to pee right there on the site, but it seems like 10 feet up the hill behind a tree, close to her husband, would have worked.
I tried to read the son's explanation, but the page is not available so it must have been removed. Those of you who read it, what did it say?
We would have to DM it to you because it contains words and details not allowed on this forum. But let's just say the "man with the knife" complimented the state of her privates and proceeded to threaten her and her dog.

Curious if the main campsite a mile back had restrooms and why she didn't use them. Something's off to me.
There's a lot of things off. I'm starting to think this woman doesn't have all her marbles. At this point I'm not too sure the whole man chasing her down a hill with a knife isn't just a fabrication for no other reason than she's embarrassed for getting lost so easily and so much effort was put into finding her. I hope the truth eventually comes out but she doesn't sound like she's quite all there.
She became lost so easily and kept moving in the opposite direction but she's supposedly an experienced hiker? It's just all so weird.

It appears to me she did this entire thing for attention.

Yeah, there are just...no words for that. Beyond weird. I also just do NOT understand her running AWAY from her husband, and "travelling by night"? WTH?
Still, why wouldn't she walk towards the sound of a car? I'm guessing she walked away from the campground that was a mile down the road. How far did she get so fast that she couldn't hear her husband yelling for her?
I thought she got out of the car at the end of that "road", at the summit of it, basically, while he went back downhill to park at the campground they'd decided on. I must be confusing that early article that showed a photo of the high end of the road in front of the mountain wall, with a separate narrative. It's been a little confusing. For awhile there were two different stories; one LE was telling, and one the son was telling.
Whoa - this entire family needs a good night's sleep before any of them say another word to anyone.
Who knows at this point what really happened, but as the lady gets rehydrated, fed, rested and speaks to LE, her family needs to step away from the keyboard.
Happy she is safe and sound. They look elated in that picture!
The story she gave her son doesn't add up, or at least, not the version the son posted.

She ran away downhill and knew that my dad was beeping and yelling but had to get away from this man chasing her and trying to rape her.
Therefore, she stayed off the main paths and was traveling by night
OK, so, what happened that afternoon, as she was running away from the man (was she carrying the dog? Was the dog running, too? Isn't the dog crippled in one leg? And wouldn't the dog's presence (unless she was carrying him while struggling over difficult terrain) alert him to where she was? ); how did she manage to get away from him between the time he found her, and sundown? There's a huge gap in the story.
She said, she had to travel at night to get away from him, but how did she (and the dog) out-run him that initial afternoon/evening? And where did she hide all day the next day, that he couldn't find her? And how was she able to travel at night, in the dark? Did there just happen to be a full moon when she needed it? If there was good night visibility, why wouldn't he have continued to follow her, that first evening?
Oh, yeah; and what about those rattlesnakes, that deterred even LE and the SAR teams? How did she avoid those? Just lucky? No matter what happened, she's very lucky to be alive.
