While deputies had said that while they didn't know what clothing she was wearing, they did know that Hoy was known to carry a pink purse. That proved to be the key.

Two hikers in Estacada noticed the purse along a logging road and called the sheriff's office. Search and rescue teams swooped in and found Hoy nearby. Except for some hypothermia, she seemed to be ok.
