“We found her in the riverbed, waving her arms as we flew past in the helicopter, and we got her out calmly and safely. She was not injured. She got sunburned and lost her shoes a few days after she got lost. But no injuries,” Berquist said.
John, the father of the woman, said that she had several abrasions and sunburns, but “mentally she is all right on 100%”.
Sarah Haynes, Eller's friend, who ran a Facebook pageFind Amanda", Said that the woman survived, eating plants and drinking water from the river.

“My heart felt that she was alive. I never lost hope, not even for a minute. Although I had moments of despair at times, I remained strong for her because I knew we would find her if we followed the search plan and were persistent,” said Eller’s mother, Julia.
