Woman missing for two years found alive floating at sea by baffled fishermen

A WOMAN who had been missing from her family for two years has been found floating alive in the sea by baffled fishermen.

Angelica Gaitan, 46, was found unconscious and suffering from hypothermia off the coast of Colombia.

She was discovered by fisherman Rolando Visbal and a pal floating 1.2 miles off the town of Puerto Colombia on the Atlantic side of the country on Saturday.

The pair initially spotted what they believed to be a log floating in the sea until Angelica raised her hands to summon help, according to local paper La Libertad.

It reported her first words after being rescued were "I was born again, God did not want me to die."

She was brought ashore where locals tended to her before she was taken to hospital.

Angelica was then reunited with her family as investigators began piecing together where she had been since disappearing two years ago.

When she was finally able to speak, she revealed a harrowing story of fleeing her home after 20 years of violence at the hands of her partner, who she said had tried to kill her.

After living rough then being forced to leave a refuge, she decided to take her own life.

"For 20 years I had a toxic relationship,” she told RCN radio.
