ABC's gio Benitez has more on that story. Good morning, gio. Reporter: Robin, good morning to you. She told police she was exhausted and weak. Walking around in circles in dense woods just like these and now police are calling this a true miracle.

Reporter: Over the weekend a driver spotting something moving in the bushes near the dense forest of Midland, Alabama, it was 25-year-old Lisa theris alive. Here is a photo of her before her appearance. Quite a contrast. Her skin brown from the sun, covered in bug bites and deep scratches. Police saying she lost 50 pounds in the wilderness. The radiologist student telling police she survived by eating berries and wild mushrooms, drinking water from puddles. The will to live changes your mind-set on anything. I wouldn't drink water out of that puddle now but if that's all I had I would drink it. Reporter: She didn't have her phone or purse. Her family thought she was dead including her own brother shocked when he heard the news. It's from my mom saying Lisa has been found alive. Reporter: Still this morning questions about how she ended up alone in the woods in the first place.
