This episode tells the incredible true story of 19-year-old Jean Hilliard, who in December 1980 crashed her car in rural Minnesota during a blizzard and walked two miles through -22°F weather to reach help, only to collapse just 15 feet from safety. She lay frozen solid in the snow for six hours and was found stiff as a board, yet miraculously survived with no permanent damage or amputations, baffling medical professionals who still can't fully explain how she lived through what should have been certain death.
