After about another hour and a half,   the State Police K-9 team was called,   and they determined that a bloodhound team was required in the heavily-wooded area.

Trooper Joseph Morelli and his bloodhound “Thor” responded and were able to find her in about 40 minutes,  shortly before 3 a.m.  She had suffered minor cuts and scrapes, and was disoriented, but cleared by medical personnel.
