Woman survives 49 days in Nevada desert

Color me skeptical:

Rita Chretien shot up from her spot in the 2000 Chevrolet Astro’s backseat when she heard them outside, mustered her lingering strength to open the door and step out shoeless. She waved.

Three days later, she was resting comfortably in an Idaho hospital, spending Mother’s Day with her children.

“Right now, we’re just celebrating,” said her son, Raymond, on Sunday.

Even the doctor who oversaw Chretien’s care at St. Luke’s Magic Valley Medical Center in Twin Falls, Idaho, acknowledged it was not easy to explain how a 56-year-old woman could have such a positive prognosis and demeanor given what she’d gone through.

I bet there’s more to this than meets the eye. Where’s Lieutenant Columbo when you need him?
