Episode 28: The Freeze
Mystery Category: Medical Miracles / Survival
The Story: Jean Hilliard was found in a Minnesota ditch, frozen solid as a block of ice. We look at the medical records of her "thaw" and the inexplicable recovery that challenged every law of biology.
On one frigid December night in 1980,a stranded Minnesotan named Jean Hilliard earned a title no one would ever want: the Frozen Girl.
