Although there is more to discover, one missing person case in Texas had a happy conclusion. A woman was found inside a nearly fully submerged Jeep alive. It was a miraculous recovery.
The woman’s identity is not known at this time. On the morning of April 7, 2023, authorities were alerted to the Jeep’s presence in Lake O’ the Pines in Marion County by a fisherman. They noticed the top of the car sticking out of the water and called to report it. When authorities came to investigate, they found the woman alive inside.
The Marion County Sheriff’s Office issued a statement about the incident via Facebook. “The fisherman stated he was on the south side of Lake o’ the Pines in south west Marion County, Texas. He reported observing a black jeep submerged about forty feet from the Woody’s Camp boat ramp,” it began.
“Deputies arrived at the scene as well as a local wrecker service. As the jeep was being prepared for removal from the water, it was discovered a person was still in the vehicle and moving. With the assistance of the wrecker service, fisherman, and Marion County deputies, a female was safely rescued from the submerged jeep,” the statement continued.
