After a 37-year-old woman who was missing for days was heard crying for help, she was discovered safe, but stuck in the mud among mangroves on the edge of a Florida river.\n<\/p>\n

On Friday, Oct. 24, around 5 p.m. local time, Kelly Marie Catrambrone was seen by her family walking away from her Port St. Lucie home, according to police reports reviewed by Hometown News<\/a>. She was not reported missing for three days, Sgt. Dominic Mesiti of the Port St. Lucie Police Department told the outlet.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to the family, she often wanders away from home, but she usually comes back,” Mesiti told Hometown News. “But this time, she didn\u2019t.”\n<\/p>\n

That Monday, authorities began searching the 700 block of NE Emerson Street, saying she \u201cmay have wandered into a body of water<\/a>.”\n<\/p>\n

By the following afternoon, on Tuesday, Oct. 28, some of Catrambrone\u2019s possessions were located near the edge of the St. Lucie River, prompting an \u201cextensive search.\u201d\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

Search and rescue teams continued to comb the area as darkness fell \u2014 and by 9 p.m., SWAT Technician Kraviec from the police department was flying a drone when he \u201cheard a faint cry for help,” according to police. The sound was coming from across the body of water.\n<\/p>\n

Shortly after, a 911 caller reported hearing \u201ca woman crying for help\u201d in an unknown location near the river.\n<\/p>\n

As officers continued the search, local Herb Yancy offered up his boat to help after Kraviec saw movement in the swamp. The citizen then helped guide officers to the missing woman.\n<\/p>\n

At approximately 9:30 p.m., Catrambrone was found stuck in two feet of water near an island of mangroves, across the way from where her items had been found.\n<\/p>\n

In a video shared by the police department, an officer can be heard yelling her first name. “I\u2019ve got you, girl,\u201d the officer said when he reached Catrambrone. \u201cYou\u2019re okay.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

First responders searched for the missing woman for hours.<\/p>\n
