Utah woman missing for five months found alive in tent at campsite

• Woman, 47, reportedly survived winter on grass, moss and water
• Authorities found her during aerial search of canyon

A Utah woman who disappeared in November was discovered alive in a tent at a campsite, having reportedly subsisted off of grass, moss and water from a nearby river for more than five months.

The 47-year-old woman, who authorities did not identify, was first reported missing after US Forest Service employees preparing for seasonal canyon closures found her car abandoned in a trailhead parking lot about 50 miles (80km) south-east of Salt Lake City on 25 November.
