SEARCH TEAM FINALLY FOUND HER, SEARCHING IN A HELICOPTER
So there was a search team looking for her, flying around the area in a helicopter. The three searchers were Javier Cantellops, Chris Berquist and Troy Helmers. Berquist was instantly certain they had found her when they saw a woman far below. He told local media, “I’ve been looking at pictures of that girl 100 times a day. It was no mistake that it was her. We were freaking out. We were trying not to trip over ourselves trying to get to her too fast.” Berquist also said he was proud to have found her in the remote forest. He said, “We found somebody’s daughter — by doing it right, by not giving up.”

So far, we have no idea how the injured woman managed to survive over two weeks alone in the remote, wild forest. Eller’s mother reported that he daughter had a broken leg and injuries to both ankles. More than 100 volunteers along with Fire rescue crews intensely searched on land and from the air. They used ultra-modern GPS mapping technology and hiking dogs. Well, and a helicopter. The Find Amanda Facebook page now includes a post which reads, “She got lost and was stuck and slightly injured in the forest — way, way out. Somewhere way far above Twin Falls. Between two waterfalls, down a deep ravine in a creek bed.”
