A physical therapist and yoga instructor who lives on Maui, Eller knew the terrain from a previous hike and veered off the trail for a quick rest. A helicopter search team contracted by her family spotted her four miles from her car, gaunt after surviving on plants and water, a friend told KITV. She ate moths and wild strawberry guavas, her mother Julia Eller told Maui News. “She lost quite a bit of weight, as you can imagine, being lost for that amount of time,” Eller said, Maui News reported. !”Correction: A previous version of this story said Eller was missing for 17 days.
