HART’S LOCATION, N.H. (AP) – A Columbia University student, Laura Coradetti, 20, was found by Fish and Game officers sitting on a rock in the dark, cold and hungry, a few hundred yards off the trail, Fish and Game Sgt. Jim Goss said.
She had begun hiking with her father, Thomas Coradetti of Princeton, N.J., and her brother, who is in his mid 20s. However, after about an hour, she began having stomach pains and turned back to return to the car at about 3 p.m. while her father and brother continued on to hike Mount Crawford, Goss said.
When she began to feel better, she tried to catch up with the other two, but missed the turn to Mount Crawford.
Father and son returned to find her missing, searched for a while and then called for help at about 8 p.m. , Goss said. Three Fish and Game officers began searching at about 9:30 p.m. and she heard them calling five hours later.
