27-year-old Tiffany Slaton
An amazing story of survival is emerging in the mountains of Fresno County, California. 27-year-old Tiffany Slaton disappeared while on a solo camping trip across the Sierra. She's from Georgia and was last seen in April. A huge search was launched. On Wednesday a man checking on his summer cabins in the woods found her in one of them near a lake where she took shelter during a blizzard. She battled through the blizzard and took shelter in the cabin until she could be rescued. She survived off leeks about 45 miles from where she was last seen. The owner of the cabins says he leaves them unlocked for just this situation so they can be refuge to hikers in distress in the winter. When he found her she just wanted to hug him.
