Woman missing 8 days found alive in her crashed SUV (CNN.com)

MAPLE VALLEY, Washington (AP) -- A woman who had been missing for eight days was found alive Thursday in her SUV at the bottom of a ravine after searchers traced a signal from her cell phone.
Tanya Rider, 33, responded to her name when her SUV was found along a highway in suburban Seattle, State Patrol Sgt. Dave Divis said.

King County sheriff's investigators used a cell phone signal to recheck a segment of the highway, State Patrol spokesman Jeff Merrill said. On Thursday afternoon, they noticed some matted brush, and below it they found her Honda Element, smashed on its side.

"She looks very pale, very dehydrated. She didn't have a lot of cuts but had difficulty breathing," Merrill said.
