Just a few miles from my house in an area I frequently ride my bike and walk my dog an 11 year old girl went missing last friday afternoon. Nadia Bloom had parked her bike, took off her helmet and just started walking into the swamp.
She is mildly autistic and it was speculated that because she had been reading a book about a young girl that goes on adventures in her backyard and decided to go on her own adventure.
After five days in the alligator infested swamp she was found alive in remarkable good shape with nothing more serious than bug bites. At this moment she is still being carried out of the swamp.
What is really going to be interesting is she had just received a new camera and had the ability to take pictures and video which she took with her. If she had the presence to document her own " adventure " with such a happy ending it has best seller written all over it
