“OK” Spevak said. “Can you send
me your location?”
“ Y e s .”
“I’m going to call somebody, and
we’ll get you out of there.”
After they hung up, Lythcott sent
her his GPS coordinates on a map
using Facebook’s ‘pin drop’ function.
Now one person in the world knew
where he was.
Spevak, though, had no idea
whom to call or how to proceed.
But she knew who would: someone
in Lythcott’s vast circle of friends
from around the globe. She posted a
screenshot of the pin drop to the Face-
book comment thread and watched
nervously as every few seconds an-
other friend jumped into the conver-
sation. “Mikey!! ARE YOU OKAY???”
“Mikey, what police do we call???”
“Do you know what to do here?”
“?????”
Ricardo Mendes, wanting Lythcott
to activate Apple’s Emergency SOS
call, wrote, “PRESS THE OFF BUTTON
OF YOUR IPHONE 5 TIMES QUICKLY.”
Kaitlin Haggard found all the lo-
cal police numbers by district and
shared them.
Leah Schlossman aired her
frustration: “I can’t get through to
any of these numbers and Michael’s
line is busy.”
Misty McKenzie-Hill: “Please,
please let him be OK.”
Emilie Stein: “Dude, I will fly out
tonight and come get you if you need.”

eanwhile, Stacey Eno con-
tinued to struggle. She was
trying to scream for help, but
each time it came out like a whimper.
She was in and out of consciousness,
confused and numbed by pain. Her
face bones had been shattered. Some
object had slammed into her mouth
in the crash, slicing her tongue and
loosening teeth.
“Stacey,” Lythcott said. “I’m trying
to get help.”Why aren’t either of us getting up?
Eno wondered. Lythcott had said he
thought his back was broken; what
about hers? She tried to move her legs
but couldn’t get them underneath her.
Any movement made her feel as if she
might fall down the steep incline to
whatever dangers lay below.
She dug her fingernails into the soil
and waited for the help that Lythcott
hoped was on the way.
Only days earlier she had been
in her classroom in Korea, where
she taught English. Her family back
in Michigan had thought she was
crazy to travel to the other side of the
globe for work and longed for her to
come home.Mikey!! ARE YOU OKAY???”
