Alaska State Troopers are searching for the grandmother of a toddler found alone and abandoned for two days in a locked car on a rural Alaska road after the vehicle got stuck
This undated photo provided by the Alaska State Troopers shows Mary Dawn Wilson. Authorities are searching for Wilson, after her 2-year-old grandchild was found alone and abandoned for two days on Thursday, July 14, 2022, in a locked car on a rural Alaska road. The search for Wilson, 69, is being concentrated around the community of Healy, Alaska State Troopers said in an online statement.
The child appeared to be in good health and was handed over to the state Office of Children’s Services, the statement said. The trail road eventually ends and opens up to treacherous Alaska backcountry, where McCandless took shelter in an abandoned city bus after he became trapped by the swollen Teklanika River.
