A US woman floated on the top of an air mattress above a freezing Texoma lake in Oklahoma for two days after before she was spotted by two freight train workers and rescued on February 3.
Conductor Cristhian Sosa and train engineer Justin Luster found the woman stranded on a rock near Texoma lake. They said the woman was waving her arms and yelling for help, CNN reported.
“She was wet, confused and had no recollection of time,” Sosa was quoted as saying by CNN. “She was either on the early stages of hypothermia or she already had it,” he added.
The woman was taken to the hospital and she is expected to survive. She identified herself as Connie to the train workers. She told them that she was floating on an air mattress for days, as per CNN report.
Along with her fiancée who used a different floating device, Connie was attempting to reach their boat while using the mattress as a raft. They had ventured into water to recover items which had fallen from the boat. However, the couple got separated later.
Connie’s fiancée reached near a house and reported her as missing to local police, as per the KXII report. As per People‘s report, about an hour after her fiancée reported her as missing, police officers received a call from train workers informing them that they have rescued Connie from the lake.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
