Woman stranded two weeks is released from rehab hospital
Dianna Bedwell Knutson and her husband Cecil went missing on Sunday May 10, 2015 after leaving a San Diego area casino and heading toward Dianna’s son’s home in La Quinta, California to celebrate Mother’s Day.
We know now, the couple took what they thought was a shortcut and ended up stranded in mud and without cell phone service on a rural Indian Reservation. Family contacted police and filed a missing persons report. Media reports on television, radio and social media put out their description, but to no avail.
Finally, on May 24, 2015 after having been missing for 2 weeks, a dirt bike rider came upon the missing car. Dianna was inside the car, barely alive. Her husband Cecil was found outside the car, dead.
After Dianna was rescued, she was hospitalized and in intensive care and then finally moved out of intensive care. However, she remained hospitalized.
Recently she was transferred to rehab and today her attorney, Gloria Allred says she’s has been released from rehab and finally is able to go home. “Dianna still has a long road ahead of her because of her grief about the loss of her husband of 27 years and because she is still in recovery. Her family is overjoyed that she is now home and she will continue to have their love and support,” says Allred.
Services for her husband Cecil will be held on July 10, 2015 at 10:15 am at Riverside National Cemetery at 22495 Van Buren Blvd, Riverside, CA He will be afforded military honors for his service to our country as a U.S. Marine.
