A woman in Tulsa, Oklahoma was found alive after spending at least four days in a large freezer.
Theresa Christian is the 59-year-old black woman who was first reported missing by her relatives on Saturday and was finally found by her son on Tuesday once he gained access to her apartment and heard moaning coming from the chest-sized freezer.
There was no sign of foul play and her neighbors speculated that perhaps she got in the freezer because she feared that a tornado may hit her house.
Tulsa police corporal Daisy Vallely said that when the woman’s son entered the apartment, he ‘recognized immediately that there was no way she could have left the residence willingly without her purse and other belongings and left her TV on’.
Her physical condition is still being evaluated and police are trying to understand how she got stuck in the first place.
If she did decide to get inside the large freezer- which was big enough for one person- because of the storms, that places her entrance into the box on Friday evening when the weather was bad.
What is even more strange is that she was unable to get herself back out, since there were no locks or latches on the exterior of the freezer that could have locked her in.
‘We’re not really sure why she was not able to get out. Apparently she was trying, there was evidence of that,’ Ms Vallely said.
‘We don’t know how she got in there or anything else.
‘Thank goodness her son found her when he did.
