This time, she wasn't missing for long. Four days after Marie vanished from the motel, she had apparently been crawling around in the woods, her body was drenched by four days of frequent rain and it was also feeling numb after being exposed to temperatures which were dropping to the low 30s. She stumbled on the back porch of a house owned by an Anniston woman, who ironically, had known Audrey from elementary school. It was likely Audrey had sought help from her schoolfriend but the woman failed to recognize her after not seeing Marie in years and in her haggard state, and alerted police believing it to be a transient woman in need of immediate help. Anniston police in turn summoned paramedics.
