Search teams scoured canyons and mountainsides for the missing husband of a rescued Canadian woman who survived for seven weeks on just snacks and water after they became stranded in remote northeastern Nevada.
Rita Chretien, 56, was discovered on Friday in the couple's van which was mired in mud on a national forest logging road in Elko County, authorities said.
The woman, who lost considerable weight but was hospitalized in fair condition, told investigators the last she saw 59-year-old Albert Chretien on March 22, when he set off for help on foot with a GPS unit just a few days after they got stuck, Elko County Sheriff Jim Pitts said.
