[September 25, 2010]  MOULTONBOROUGH, N.H. (AP) -- A 60-year-old New Hampshire woman who was found by police in a heavily wooded swamp on Tuesday said her ordeal began over the weekend and said her history of sleepwalking might explain it.

Ellin Vincenti of Tuftonboro told WMUR-TV on Wednesday that she remembers saying goodnight to her husband Saturday and said she woke up Sunday to find herself alone in her Jeep, parked on a wooded path in the nearby town of Moutonborough. She said she started walking and ended up on a small piece of land surrounded by the swamp.

Vincenti told the TV station she spent two nights there, occasionally yelling for help until nearby resident Beverly Willey heard the yells and called police.

It wasn't clear from the interview why Vincenti's husband didn't report her absence Sunday.
