Authorities call it a complete miracle that Lisa Theris, an Alabama woman was able to endure a month of living in the woods eating berries, mushrooms and muddy water to survive.
She had no shelter, no shoes, no phone, no purse and was all by herself in thousands of acres of forest. There were no roads or homes anywhere around her in the expansive land. Lisa told authorities she was on the move, doing all she could to find a way out and get help. She finally managed to make it to the highway on Saturday.
A motorist from Florida was driving 82 east of Midway and saw something moving in the bushes. She went back and there was the young lady in the wooded area.
Theris had lost 50 pounds and was covered in scratches and bug bites. She was treated at the local emergency room and reunited with her family, who rushed to Bullock County after receiving the news that she was found.
Manley Davis and Randall Oswald, who were arrested approximately two weeks after Theris disappeared, told authorities they were driving to rob a hunting camp with Theris in their vehicle, police said. However, when Theris learned of their intent to steal from the camp, she said she wanted nothing to do with the burglary and jumped out of the car, claiming they have not seen her since.
