Woman missing for 12 years found living in woods

The lady is one brave soul.We live in such a robotic lifestyle,its no wonder why one would want to leave it all behind.Alarm clocks,dealing with the same everyday grind,I dont blame her one bit.This is something i myself have and am contimplating on doing.She gives me inspiration,as I will one day soon do what she has done if I cant get up enough money to live more rural and be off the grid and only worry about taxes on land I will buy the furthest I can stay away from society.Our government is making te USA less of a freedom country everyday...I praise her,id like to have a girlfriend like her,honey ,your my type of woman......

Wow, that's a crazy story. I wonder if she just decided to go live in the woods or something else happened and she ended up there for a while then decided to stay...

dammed Switz! They didn't know she was there. Why bother her?

It's a shame really. But yeah, She'll have to go.

this is cool, but i dont understand why she has to go back into society. why can't she just be left in the forest????????

Amazing she was not noticed for 12 years perhaps she thought the grass was greener on the other side and found that it was.

she'll definitely have an advantage come the global collapse of civilization.

That's pretty bad ass.

She should get her own Discovery Channel show.

she must've been au naturale

other people.

That IS a fascinating picture -- though I have my doubts that the 52-year-old has been preserved quite so well or has quite the same sense of studied entropy in her fashion sensibilities. Then again, who knows?

I have a bad feeling that I know the real reason the landowners decided they need to ask her to move. I am guessing their lawyer informed them of the legal liability they suddenly incurred upon discovering her presence. Now if anything happens to her, her family (which may be the reason she moved there in the first place) could sue the landowners for everything they are worth. They probably want to leave her alone, and the lawyer may want to leave her alone as well. But he or she has an obligation to tell them about their potential exposure.

Of course, I could be completely wrong -- but actually the landowners WOULD be faced with EXACTLY that problem here in the U.S.

Let her stay and leave her alone! Minding your own business should be mandatory.

There use to be a day when one could live on there own and provide for themselves and have no obligation to any "society". Henry David Thoreau's Walden a good read if your in the market for one; it talks about a lot of relevant issues.

amazing women. with all the crap happening in the world i would want to revert to nature and live out in the middle of nowhere too :D

Even if her reasons of leaving are unknown. The idea of living away from society, being independent, and learning to fend for yourself sound empowering.

love the pic choice. awesome image.

Sounds good to me. It's not unfathomable that she just liked living like that.
She obviously wasn't hurting anyone and she was happy and well.

That's kinda sad. She wasn't lost at all. She was escaping.

:O....y do they wanna kick her out? they obviously didn't even notice her until recently...after 12 years! I don't understand why these people would be so cruel. Kind of nice of them to find her another place first, but I think they should just leave her be....She probably is most happy there. I think they should leave her alone and let her live in the forest...as long as she doesn't bother anyone

I kinda get where she's coming from.
I've felt like removing myself from society more and more each day.

Maybe she's crazy. She says she's fulfilling a mission.
A mission from who? God? Fictional people?

Does it matter? So long as she's not hurting anybody let her be.

I doubt anybody on this website would last a week in the woods, left to their own devices.

if she'd been living in my woods for 12 years . she'd be more than welcome to stay

She was happy until they found her. Why can't people be free to be away from people if they want to?

Why is she going to be forced to live in a community again? Let her be free like she was... What if she doesn't want to participate in society?

I have always enjoyed the company of my 3 best friends; me, myself and I.

"the Bolligen Citizens Community that owns the woods will soon tell her she will have to leave"...???????

She's there for 12 years in secret but then when she's found they want her to leave?

If that is right then the Bolligen Citizens Community are a bunch of jerks.

Geeez guys you have taken the first step. Now,......enlist 15 posters each, starting with the farthest Left individuals. Then ...we will check in on you all, in say.......25 years? Sound good? Yes You Can!!! This just makes me proud.

i understand the urge. sometimes i wish i could live apart from society as a woodland hermit, thoreau-style.

in light of the current circumstances, 12 years in the woods sounds pretty good....no chemicle warfare, GM food, murder. just you, yourself and you
