FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – A Georgia woman who was reported missing in California’s Fresno County over two weeks ago was “miraculously found alive” on Wednesday, according to the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office.

Tiffany Slaton, 28, was found safe in a cabin in Vermilion Valley Resort, near Lake Edison in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, deputies said Wednesday.

Slaton had been reported missing on April 29 and was last seen on April 24.

Slaton was located when the owner of the resort found a woman in one of the cabins and contacted the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies then met with Slaton at a site near the resort, where she was found to be dehydrated but “otherwise in good condition,” the sheriff’s office said.

“Medics transported her to a hospital for further treatment and observation,” the department wrote in a news release.

Officials said a road leading up to the cabin had been impassible until Wednesday, when it was cleared of snow. The owner of the property, after learning that the road was clear, decided to visit his cabins to prepare for the summer season, which is when he found Slaton.

The owner also told officials that he had intentionally left a cabin unlocked during the off-season just in case someone was trapped in the area and needed shelter, which is exactly what happened to Slaton.

Slaton’s disappearance prompted a massive search by the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office. The most recent update came the day before she was found with a general appeal to anyone traveling in the area.

Detectives are now working with Slaton to learn more about her “overall experience,” officials said.
