Woman found alive after getting stuck in freezer at Tulsa home An Oklahoma woman was found alive in her deep freezer days after she was reported missing. Investigators believe she became trapped after climbing in to hide from a storm. KJRH's Breanne Palmerini reports. A woman who vanished last weekend was found alive in a freezer in west Tulsa, Okla., after possibly climbing inside to take shelter from a storm, NBC station KJRH reported. Theresa Christian, 59, disappeared Saturday and was discovered Wednesday with severe freezing of the legs, KJRH said. She was listed in serious condition, KJRH reported. Her sons told the station they are relieved she was found alive. "She wasn't answering the phone or anything like that, so I came by here (Tuesday) night, about 10:30, knocked on the door, knocked on the door, and I couldn't get a response or anything," Christian's son, Jermal Stewart, told KJRH. Tuesday, Christian's brother, William Andy Jr., entered the apartment near W. 23rd Ave. and Southwest Blvd. and did not find her. "We went through the house calling out her name and stuff and couldn't get a response or anything," Andy told KJRH. Stewart went back to the apartment early Wednesday and had the apartment's maintenance crew unlock the door again. "I heard her say, 'Help me, help me,'" Stewart said. Stewart told KJRH he opened a closet door in the kitchen and saw his mother sitting in the freezer, unable to move. Police told reporters they suspect Christian crawled into the freezer to hide from a tornado that threatened to hit Tulsa, and then couldn't get out because her legs were frozen. "Possibly she thought maybe there was a tornado coming, but they're not really sure why or how she got there," Tulsa police Cpl. Daisy Vallely told KJRH. No foul play is suspected, KJRH reported.
