Missing Tanya Rider Miraculously Found Alive at Bottom of a Ravine in Washington State
33 year old Tanya Rider had been missing for 8 days. She had been last seen leaving for work on September 19, 2007. Rider was found alive at the 
bottom of a ravine in her SUV on Thursday afternoon. Her vehicle was found about 20 feet down the ravine and lay buried below heavy brush and bushes. Searches located the missing Tanya Rider by her cell phone signal.
Tanya Rider, 33, responded to her name when her SUV was found along a highway in suburban Seattle, State Patrol Sgt. Dave Divis said.
King County sheriff’s investigators used a cell phone signal to recheck a segment of the highway, State Patrol spokesman Jeff Merrill said. On Thursday afternoon, they noticed some matted brush, and below it they found her Honda Element, smashed on its side.
“She looks very pale, very dehydrated. She didn’t have a lot of cuts but had difficulty breathing,” Merrill said. (CNN)
Missing Wash. Woman Found Alive in Car
Missing woman, rescued from car, is in critical condition
Tom Rider, her husband, was at the Sheriff’s Office taking a polygraph test when he heard the news that his wife had been found, and he joined her at the hospital. He said that his wife was suffering from kidney failure and sores from being trapped in the same position for a week but that she was conscious.
“Pretty much she’s fighting for her life,” he said.
Doctors are concerned that as they rehydrate her, the sores could swell and cause more injuries, he added.
