PUTNAM COUNTY, Ind. – A Putnam County woman who disappeared a week ago has been found alive just a couple miles from her home.

Britney Gard, 46, is currently receiving medical treatment following her disappearance.

The circumstances were bizarre. Local departments responded to a fire at her home on East County Road 600 North in Putnam County on Oct. 1. She was not home at the time, but her car was in the driveway and her purse was inside.

Investigators deemed the fire suspicious in nature. Her family said Sept. 30 was the last time anyone had seen her. No one was able to contact her.

Her disappearance led to a large search, with rescuers looking through about 75 acres of corn and checking ponds for any trace of her. Drones were also deployed in the search.
