I have not seen this discussed, but many of the comments I see on the news stories associated with this young woman's experience doubt her tale of being lost on the Kahakapao Trail in East Maui's Makawao Forest Reserve.

 

I'm not familiar with the area, but they showed the ravine she fell into and, one report said she had broken her leg.

 

Just read she is out of the hospital after 16 days in the forest.

 

Her family is near the area where I live, and I'm happy for them that she was found.  It has been in our local paper.

 

Guess after so many made up stories, people are reluctant to believe.

 

I find myself wondering, too.


How can you get lost on an island?  If she kept walking, she'd fine her way out of the forest.  I think it's a stunt to get her name in the news and money from a movie or book deal. 


She sure looked emanciated and sun burned for something made up. Did you see her legs and feet so swollen?  That can not be faked.

I’m so sorry to hear the other lost hiker didn’t survive.  Was hoping for two happy outcomes.

Sounds like a made up story  for TV.

Like those 2 ladies and dogs, who were lost at sea for 5  months.

Re: The hiker found in Hawaii

Just read this morning that the second hiker missing in the same area was not as lucky as she was. They found him dead; so sad.

 

So glad they found her in time and she got the treatment she needed.
