    Rescuers miraculously find a young girl on the last day of their search and ruin a great setup for a true crime episode 

     

    A missing Washington teenager who vanished last month after she ran out of gas was found alive Saturday in a remote section of the Cascade Mountains, authorities said.

    Speaking to reporters, King County sheriff’s spokesman Ryan Abbott said it was a “miracle” that Giovanna Fuda, 18, was found after a week-long search.

    “She’s in stable condition,” he said. “This is a remarkable ending

    Fuda was last seen on July 24, when she left her home in the Seattle suburb of Maple Valley without telling her parents where she was going. Her car was found abandoned the next night near a mountain pass roughly two hours northeast of Maple Valley.

    “We don’t know why she was up there,” her father, Bob Fuda, told NBC affiliate KING last week.

    Authorities said the car, a 2008 Toyota Corolla, had run out of gas. Her purse was still in the vehicle but her cellphone was gone. The King County Sheriff’s Office initially described her disappearance as “suspicious.”

    Abbott said the area was a dead zone for cell service so it was difficult to trace her location through her phone’s GPS. Dense brush also made it impossible to search with a helicopter, he said.

    On Saturday, after a bloodhound tracked her scent more than a mile down the highway, a search and rescue team trekking up a ravine and following a creek found her notebook, shoes and clothing, Abbott said. They eventually found her, too, a few miles from her car, he said. She was alert and conscious but incoherent.

    “We don’t know how she got up in that area,” he said, adding that she may have gotten turned around while walking to get gas. He said she likely survived by drinking water from the creek, but she had no food with her and he wasn’t sure what she ate.

    A family friend who was involved in the search, Jeff White, told KING that Saturday was the last day of the rescue effort

    I used to live in Maple Valley.  It's not off the beaten path and right next to Kent and Renton, but is surrounded on 3 sides by forrest but all of the highways there lead to other suburbs, so it makes one wonder why she decided to venture away from the highway into the dense forest?     Maple Valley is pretty freaking awesome place to live though, I miss living there, especially this time of year.

    Seems like BYU would be a fine add for a year. The Mormons have to be getting desperate by now - I think they've lost 6 games. Also, what a shitty year for them - easily the best schedule they'd been able to put together as an independent, with 6 P5 teams, and *poof*.

    Utah, Michigan State, Arizona State, Minnesota, Missouri and Stanford all gone from the schedule.  There's really only one non-P5 school I look forward to playing and it's Boise State, atleast we still have them on the schedule (unless the MWC goes conference only).

    ND should just get it over with and join the ACC fully... and take WVU with them.    Big12 would have to pick up a replacement though.  BYU? CSU? 

    If they change or replace teams they'll be going back to 12.  

  4. The powder blue uniforms look even better then I was expecting.  Man, they look sharp! 

    Probably my favorite uni combo the rangers have.

    You can tell that the acoustics are set up to make GLF loud as hell.  You can really hear that ball pop and the crack of the bat is even louder.  

    That's probably because there's no one there.

    True.  Would probably sound more muffled with the sound waves being absorbed by love handles, boobies and fat asses.

    New ballpark looks interesting. I do not like the field level seats behind home plate. So glad baseball is back. 

    You'll like it the first time a drunk woman flashes her chesticles.....
