Overview
- Three Pocatello mountain bikers — brothers Tommy and Vinton Gwinn and friend Shelton Robinson — found Heather Wayment on a remote Camas County trail near the junction of Mule Creek and Big Smoky Creek.
- Wayment appeared disoriented, dehydrated and malnourished, was in her underwear with scratched legs, and had raw, bleeding feet after removing her shorts to try to bandage them.
- Using GPS coordinates, the onX mapping app and satellite messaging, the group relayed their location to authorities after learning she was the subject of an active search.
- Dirt bikers who arrived recognized her as the missing hiker and transported her about a half mile to a meadow where Life Flight could land before she was airlifted to St. Alphonsus Medical Center in Boise; her condition has not been disclosed.
- Blaine County officials said her vehicle was found at the Prairie Creek trailhead and thanked multiple search and rescue teams and the civilians involved, noting unanswered questions about how she ended up so far from her car.
