An Oklahoma woman who was found alive in a deep freezer may have climbed in due to bad weather.

59-year-old Theresa Christian was last seen over the weekend.

Her son found her Wednesday morning in a large freezer at her Tulsa apartment and called police.

Family members reported her missing Saturday. Her son recognized that there was no way she could have left the residence willingly without her purse and other belongings.
 
She had also left her TV on.   The house was searched and her son heard a moan coming from the area of the freezer and found her sitting inside.

Family members say Christian is scared of storms and may have climbed into the freezer after a tornado warning.

She was taken to the hospital in serious condition with frostbite.

Police do not suspect foul play.

Maybe she should have unplugged the frezzer first.

The article says she was treated for frostbite. It's September. I'm guessing the freezer was plugged in and working.

What a bizarre story. She's lucky she's alive! Doesn't say if the freezer was working but I guess if it was she would not have been doing any moaning. Very fortunate woman.

Poor woman is probably suffering from some form of dementia.
