What's incredible is that she has survived. It's been so very cold this past couple of weeks The fact she hasn't died from hypothermia is amazing.

Not sure about water FS, it looks like he intended on killing her so I doubt that there would have been anything with her

Poor thing! It says she wasn't assaulted, but was so totally traumatized that it was hard to interview her.

I think it would smell terrible, you'd be lying in your own excrement. I tend toward claustrophobia, it would be horrible for me.
