High Strangeness
"It's very rare. It is definitely a miracle, and we are so thrilled that she is OK and made it out of there," Sgt. Ryan Abbott told reporters. "There has been so much support, and so much interest and people wanting to help. It's nice to see."
Fuda was last seen on July 24, when she left her home in Maple Vally, Wash., without telling her family where she was going.
Her 2008 Toyota Corolla was found west of Stevens Pass by a state transportation worker.
Detectives said Fuda stopped at a coffee shop before running out of gas. Personal items were found inside the vehicle, but her phone was powered off.
Family and friends spent the past couple of days in the area posting missing person fliers and searching trails.
Authorities had labeled her disappearance "suspicious" and released surveillance footage Friday of Fuda outside the coffee shop near the town of Index.
Abbott told reporters Saturday that rescue teams with bloodhounds came across a notebook and shoes that belonged to Fuda around 2:45 p.m. that day.
Fuda was found two miles up a "very steep" ravine embankment along a creek, authorities said.
Medics treated her on the scene and she was transported to an area hospital, where she was listed in stable condition. Fuda had no food with her, but drank water from a creek, according to Abbott.
"This is a remarkable ending," he said.
Officials have not yet said why Fuda ended up in the woods. Abbott said she "was not very coherent" at the time of the rescue and couldn't explain what transpired over the past week.
Rumors of a possible kidnapping appear not to be true, "at least at this point," Abbott said.
Jeff White, a friend of the Fuda family, told Q13 FOX he had feared the worst.
"It's a miracle," White said. "God blessed this family today. God blessed this family today for sure."

Comment: This has many of the hallmarks of a Missing 411 case. Why would she take her shoes off if she were walking through the woods? Why can't she remember what happened? The detail about her being discovered next to a creek is another profile point in Missing 411 cases. She is lucky to be alive. See:

I'll take reasonable odds favoring my mere guess from nowhere other than awareness of the way dumb bimbos can behave.

BTW: Beyond the above, she's almost certainly a selfish bitch.

...Apparently it never dawned on her to stay with car til help arrived. The lure of the higher ground for better signal was too great.
I knew a girl who started taking Ambien and a few months into it she awoke in her car, half naked, surrounded by NYS police on the NY throughway about 200 miles from her house. She was noticed traveling 35 mph on the interstate and refused to pull over for 50 miles until her car ran out of fuel.
Didn't drink or do any other drugs. And she spent a fortune on attorneys trying to not lose her license.
Hence Codis' "As dad, I would enforce a blood test + vaginal swab .." (Looking for unusually long, straight hairs...)

Same kind of feeling existed in countless folks' stories about countless BS MSM (BFM) stories previously - there's just no reason to expect the BFM to really find out the truth here as it won't help their credibility.
Frankly, whenever about 70% of stories like this are looked at, the lies come out, and we're all sick of them.
I hope you're right but even saying that makes me ask: "What the hell did she do for all those eight days?" My cynical words / guess about her personality above, I grant is based upon my presumption that the 'official story' ain't the truth, and the BFM has NO interest in discrediting itself yet again.
As per Dave Chappelle and Juicy Smoll'et, we black folks 'knew that nigger was lying.' [Link]
Again, I honestly hope my cynicism is wrong, having it established here would weaken my cynicism, which would be a good thing.

Mama taught me the deeper meaningJonie Mitchell, Let The Wind Carry Me. Album: For The Roses (1972) (I just put it on and the lyric caught my ear.)
She don't like my kick pleat skirt
She don't like my eyelids painted green
She don't like me staying up late
In my high-heeled shoes
Living for that rock'n'roll dancing scene
Papa says "Leave the girl alone, Mother
She's looking like a movie queen"

Anyway, having two at home myself, I find nothing special about a teenager being unable to tell about his recent whereabouts.
