A Massachusetts woman who had been missing for a week has been found after being “stuck in the mud for several days,” according to police.
Emma Tetewsky, 31, was located on the evening of Monday, July 3, in Borderland State Park, several miles from her home in Stoughton.
Hikers told police in Easton that they had heard a woman screaming for help in a swamp-like area but were not able to reach her. The officers came to the park around 6 p.m., and could also hear her screams.
Three officers waded through the swampy area until they found her about 50 feet from solid land. Using all-terrain vehicles, they freed her from the mud.
“Emma was conscious and alert and she was taken by ambulance to a local hospital for observation,” police added.
Tetewsky was reported missing by her family on June 26, and the search had involved several public safety agencies.
Borderland State Park is 1,843 acres (3 square miles). Its centerpiece is a 1910 mansion that can be toured. It has 20 miles of trails, some classified difficult, and also allows canoeing and kayaking.
