Emma Tetewsky, 31, was located Monday evening after hikers called 911 and said they heard a woman screaming for help in a swamp-like area, the said the Stoughton Police Department.
Tetewsky, who was reported missing on June 26, is believed to have been there for at least three days.
Police said the hikers could not reach Tetewsky on foot and notified Easton police. Officers used all-terrain vehicles to get there and then brought her back to the ground.
Stoughton Police Chief Donna McNamara said in one statement that the rescue was the “best possible outcome” and thanked the community for tips.
Easton Police Chief Keith Boone praised the department’s officers “who blindly jumped into the water and followed the woman’s calls for help.”
“His immediate action resulted in saving Emma Tetewsky,” Boone said in a statement.
Tetewsky was taken to hospital with serious injuries but is expected to recover. Tetewsky’s brother, who posted about his rescue on Facebook, could not immediately be reached Tuesday.
