A Tenessee couple who vanished more than a week ago while hiking in Alaska were found safe Friday — just two miles from their parked car, family said.
The family member said he believes Bare and Hovsepian became dazed and confused by the 20 hours of sunlight per day in the state this time of year.A picture of Bare — covered in dirt and wearing an Alaska T-shirt — was shared on a Facebook page dedicated to finding the missing couple Friday night. Bare and Hovsepian were reported missing Aug. 11 after they failed to check out of their Airbnb rental, where they left all their luggage behind, Fairbanks police said.
The dark-blue Jeep Compass that the couple was renting was also found abandoned at the popular Chena Hot Springs Resort, located near the hiking trail.How Bare and Hovsepian — who is visually impaired and occasionally relies on a cane — survived eight days in the unfamiliar wilderness is still a mystery.
