Woman, 76, found after 2 weeks in the wild

A woman in her seventies has astounded doctors by surviving nearly two weeks in the thick woods of Eastern Oregon’s rugged Wallowa Mountains.

Doctors said Doris Anderson was hours from death when found on Thursday, with a body temperature that had dropped to 90 degrees.

Lost on a hunting trip, the grandmother of seven was lightly clothed and had no supplies or survival gear as overnight temperatures dropped into the 30s during her ordeal.



Since Aug. 24, rescue teams had been combing the mountainous area just south of the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area, but had found no sign of Anderson.

Trooper Chris Hawkins said a flock of ravens led him to the woman.

Family members said they believe the rescue was in God’s hands because ravens are mentioned in the Bible.
