Autistic man survives 3-week ordeal in Utah desert
AP / July 13, 2012
... Deputies say LaFever told them he ate frogs and roots and drank river water while trying to walk from Boulder, Utah, to Page, Ariz. They estimate he walked 40 miles.
LaFever’s family reported him missing Monday. Officials say the family last heard from him on June 6 or 7, when he called to say he was hiking in Boulder but was out of money.
Authorities say LaFever’s father told him to get a ride to Page where the family would send money. LaFever apparently decided to walk.
