Pamela Helmstadter went to get help, but “got disoriented in the woods and could not get home,” the Maine Game Wardens said in a news release.
After spending four nights in the woods, she was located on Thursday — alive, but hypothermic — by the Maine Game Wardens and warden K9s, over a mile from her home.
Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife“Pamela was found severely hypothermic but alert with her dog by her side,” the Maine Game Wardens said.
In the days the couple were lost in the woods, the temperature dipped to as low as 26 degrees Fahrenheit at night, according to Accuweather.
