A Woman disappears in L.A. and is found alive 4 years later in Maine

One day in 2008 Sarah Cheiker, who used to live in a bungalow in L.A. vanished from her small neighborhood and 4 years later, has been found alive in Maine.

Their neighbors thought she would be died and a Bulldozer demolished her long time home. "I was shocked. We figured she was dead," said Jim Caccavo, who had been Cheiker's next-door neighbor for 35 years.

Four years later, two FBI agents rolled into the neighborhood and starting knocking on doors, asking questions and telling residents that Cheiker had been found alive abandoned and alone in a weathered cabin near the coast of Maine.

Someone had moved Cheiker into the cabin and left her there. Alerted by neighbors, authorities in tiny Lincoln County said they found her living in squalor.
