Sgt. Dustin Moe stated, "The Sheriffs Office and our search and rescue volunteers covered extensive ground throughout our search, and we are thankful today to find her alive." This highlights the collective efforts and determination of all search parties involved.
The sheriff's office noted that Pineda was "severely dehydrated and emaciated" when found, indicating the challenges she faced while lost in the treacherous canyon area.
Sgt. Moe explained, "She probably had to scale around an 800-foot vertical foot climb to get up out of the canyon," revealing the significant physical struggle she endured.
Authorities mentioned that Pineda had not gone far from her last known location, being discovered "on the top of the river canyon in the vicinity of the Yuba River and Sweetland Creek." This emphasizes how close she was to where she initially disappeared.
