A RADIOLOGY student who went missing in an Alabama forest survived for a month on berries and wild mushrooms.

Lisa Theris, 25, from Louisville, was found caked in mud and covered in scratches after she ran away from two men in Midway last month.

The girl, who told police she survived by drinking water from streams, was found 28 days later suffering from starvation.

The student was found by the side of a motorway on Saturday afternoon without a phone, purse or shoes.

Lisa's brother Will celebrated her discovery on Facebook by posting a picture of his sister, who lost 50 pounds during her ordeal.

He wrote: "28 days stranded out in the wilderness and Lisa is still standing, strongest person I know."

Lisa returned home on Monday but is suffering after her month in the wild.

Her sister Elizabeth told WSFA: "She is severely weakened, she is in pain, she is emaciated. There is not an inch of her that has not been affected."

Will said: "She is standing strong and full of jokes as ever. The next few weeks will be rough."

She is believed to have got lost in the Alabama wilderness after she ran away from the two men she was with.

According to police Manley Davis, 31, and Randall Oswald, 36, from Troy, broke into a hunting lodge in Midway.

But they say Lisa did not want to be part of the break-in and ran into the forest.

Sheriff Raymond Rodgers told WFSA: "She's not familiar with this area and apparently on the night she ran, she went into the woods at night and got lost.

She was reported missing on 23 July and Davis and Oswald were questioned about her disappearance.

Both men were also charged with burglary and were accused of stealing £31,000 worth of goods from the lodge.

Rodgers said: "We want to make sure her health is good so we got her on to the hospital. We did not interrogate her at that time."

Bullock County Sheriff Sergeant Chad Faulkner told WTVY: "I've been doing this now going on 15 years and I've never seen anything like it. Her will to live is incredible.

"I hate to classify it as a mircale but it's a miracle."
