A Massachusetts woman was found alive trapped in mud at a state park a week after she went missing.
Emma Tetewsky, 31, was reported missing around noon on June 26 by her concerned family, prompting a multi-agency search, including the use of the State Police Air Wing, K-9, drones and boats.
Tetewsky was believed to still be in the area as he did not have access to a car, had not brought his cell phone with him, and was known to pray in the local woods.
Stoughton police announced Monday that the girl had been found by hikers trapped in the mud at Borderlands State Park, about 30 miles south of Boston.
Hikers reportedly heard her cries for help in a swampy area, but were unable to reach the woman on foot. They alerted Easton police and directed them to his location.

‘We thank everyone involved. The public never gave up hope that she would be located safely. She could not have been located without the help of the public,’ she added.
Stoughton Police Chief Donna McNamara said: “If it wasn’t for the public who have helped us and given us advice over the last five days, we would not have been able to locate her.” This is the best possible result.
Borderland State Park is known for its many hiking and biking trails, as well as other outdoor activities including horseback riding, fishing, and golf.
