He said he’s been in that spot three or four days.” It was also said that, “There was absolutely no expectation of finding him. It was a shot in the dark.” Gardner added, “He looked like he might have had only another day in him. I couldn’t believe it. We felt it was so unlikely we would find him.” And it was truly a miracle that they did.
