Sarah Ledford shares her miraculous survival story after being stranded for 30 hours in freezing Wyoming wilderness with no supplies or communication. Her harrowing experience reveals how an unexplainable spiritual connection with her cousin across the country ultimately led to her rescue.
• Recently escaped an abusive relationship and was living with new roommates in Jackson, Wyoming
• Joined roommates on a ski trip to Targhee resort despite barely knowing them
• Became separated when her companions went off-trail into dangerous terrain
• Followed ski tracks that led her deeper into wilderness instead of back to resort
• Survived overnight in temperatures reaching -8°F by seeking shelter under evergreen trees
• Experienced hypothermia and frostbite, reaching a core body temperature of 86°F
• Heard and spoke with "search parties" throughout the night that weren't actually there
• Rescued at 4:50pm after creating a branch marker in a clearing
• Discovered her cousin 3,000 miles away had nightmares about being trapped with Sarah
• Cousin's persistent calls prompted the search party that ultimately saved Sarah's life
