Her disappearance attracted widespread public attention. A couple who were camping near the site where her car was last seen on a surveillance camera video eventually found Hernandez. /VCG Photo

Lifeguards used a hoist to lift her up the cliff, before transferring her to a helicopter which sent her to a nearby hospital. Although she was in fair and stable condition when first discovered, she later showed symptoms of having a concussion. / VCG Photo
