All you could see were these feet and hands up in the air," said Michele Ayala.
Unbelievably, 76-year-old Mary Davis was discovered in her Pemberton garage Tuesday morning essentially folded in half stuck inside a 25-gallon plastic recycling bucket. Police say the arthritic widow was knocked off balance by her dog, Dusty, and fell backside first into the can, trapping her.
"She said she had been in there for 2 days and she was really weak."
Neighbor and longtime family friend Michele Ayala had been concerned about not seeing or hearing from Mrs. Davis for several days. So was the woman's old friend Ruth Woodson.
"Today I just got up this morning. I couldn't get her so I said I dug myself out and I said let me go see if I can find her."
The concern deepened when the widow's daughter called from Missouri this morning saying she couldn't contact her mother.
Michele called police and headed to the house on Villanova Avenue, with a key, but all the outside doors were locked.
