Sounds like "Emmet" is a combination of her first name and the first letter of her last name. "Fraidl" seems to be an Austrian German surname, but in this case it may be a pun on "afraid", meaning "fearful" as a person who devoutly prays might be. MOO

"Emma was found by hikers passing by," police wrote on social media. "The hikers were unable to reach her on foot without assistance. They notified Easton Police and directed them to her location."

Wow. Thrilled this young woman has been found alive and is getting medical care. Stuck in the swamp for at least 3 days. So fortunate she had the strength to yell for help when she heard hikers.

Oh my gosh, THREE DAYS in the mud? She must have been terrified. So happy she's been found!

Missing woman from Stoughton found alive after being stuck in mud for days

Emma Tetewsky, 31, was found in Borderland State Park after being stuck in the mud for several days.

www.cbsnews.com

At around 6 p.m. Easton Police reported to the park after hikers heard a woman screaming for help in a swamp-like area. Not being able to reach the woman without help, the hikers pointed the officers in the direction of the woman's screams. The officers couldn't see a woman but could hear her cries for help.

Three officers waded through the swampy area until they found a woman about 50 feet away from land. Using ATVs, Easton police officers were able to free Tetewsky from the mud and carry her back to land.

Once on land, Tetewsky received aid from Easton Firefighters before being taken to Good Samaritan Hospital with "serious, but not believed to be life-threatening injuries," according to Easton Police.

Borderland State Park was once the Poquanticut Cedar Swamp. The wetlands contain floating islands of vegetation. It's a quaking bog. Imagine what it would be like to be unable to get out of the swamp for several days. Eek.

A quaking bog is created when over thousands of years, layers sphagnum moss fill the entire bowl of a pond. Deep layers of sphagnum moss form what we call peat moss. Peat behaves like a kitchen sponge when it is saturated with water. If you press down on it, it easily gives, and water squirts out the sides, top and bottom. Imagine carving an enormous kitchen sponge so that it perfectly fits the bottom contours of a pond. Now try to walk across it. Like a sponge, the surface of the bog bends under your weight, water squirts out from the pressure of your feet, but you still can walk across it. Imagine a small tree growing on the top of the sponge, just above the water level. If you jump up and down on the "sponge," you can make a miniature earthquake and make the tree bounce up and down. If you can do this, you are standing in a quaking bog.

Easton police used ATVs to reach her. Stoughton police said she had been stuck in the mud for days, but she was conscious and alert when they arrived.

"This is the best possible outcome," Stoughton Police Chief Donna McNamara said in a statement.

The hikers heard a woman's screams for help from a swampy area and called 911, officials said. Easton police who arrived at the scene in ATVs saw the missing woman but couldn't see her, so they waded into the swampy water.

They found her about 50 feet from shore and carried her back to land, where firefighters, who'd also come in ATVs, provided her with first aid and took her to Brockton's Good Samaritan Hospital.

Officials believe she'd been trapped there for at least three days. She had serious injuries but is expected to recover.

"I'd like to commend our Easton officers, who blindly jumped into the water and followed the woman's calls for help," Easton Police Chief Keith Boone said in a statement. "Their immediate action resulted in saving" the woman.

The Hockomock Swamp, also partly in the town of Easton, is also an Atlantic cedar swamp. It's the largest freshwater swamp in Massachusetts. Conditions in parts of Borderlands would be similar to Hockomock. A local cautions people: "Don't go into the swamp unless you know where you are going, and what you are doing."

The Hockomock Swamp – Beautiful And Dangerous

One of your neighbors posted in Community Corner. Click through to read what they have to say. (The views expressed in this post are the author’s own.)

It surely is beautiful – but it can also be dangerous, even deadly. Getting lost in the swamp is easy to do; finding your way out can be nearly impossible. Perhaps the most difficult places in the swamp to discern the difference between “that way” and “this way” are the expansive and dense patches of white cedar trees (the Hockomock is a “white cedar swamp") – where looking north, south, east, or west provides all the same view.

It being a swamp, it is wet, and that means it is easy to get wet if you are in there. For about nine of the 12 months of the year, being wet and lost in the swamp at night can subject you to hypothermia and a world of trouble.

Sinkholes and quicksand are in the Hockomock Swamp.

 

[Bodhi]

So thankful for the excellent work of the first responders and the hikers who guided them to the area. A precious life was saved.

My posts about conditions in the swamp were meant to explain how easy it would be to get lost and to underscore the difficulties facing searchers. I'm ecstatic for everyone involved.

Apparently the SOP for a missing person search is to park your LE vehicle on the side of the road and talk on the phone.
