After two days of combing through the trails and bushes around Whitehorse, a search team made up of police, bylaw officers and volunteers located Kathreen Denbrok around 9:30 Tuesday evening.

On Tuesday afternoon, the 42-person search team concentrated its search efforts on the trail network around Chadburn and Hidden Lakes.

They did so after getting a tip from a 13-year-old boy who told his parents he had seen a woman in the area acting strangely, according to the RCMP.

The parents heard media reports about the missing woman and alerted police.

Previous to that, searchers had been in the Long Lake area on foot, mountain bikes, and ATVs.

With the new information, the search team set up a command centre in Riverdale. Three-person teams were sent out along various trails while RCMP boats patrolled the lake shore and river, police reported today.

"The massive effort resulted in the missing person coming out of the bush and into an open area near Schwatka Lake, where she was located by a search team,” RCMP spokesman Sgt. Don Rogers said today.

"She was in surprisingly good health considering she spent two nights in the bush.”

The woman was checked out by paramedics and returned to Whitehorse General Hospital.

"The efforts of the search and rescue volunteers cannot be understated, and we are very appreciative of their ongoing commitment to helping the RCMP and all Yukoners,” Rogers said.

The 37-year-old woman went missing after slipping out of the hospital's secure medical unit last Sunday afternoon, according to police.

Officials believe she was able to pass through a security door which had been left propped open, hospital spokeswoman Val Pike said earlier this week.

A more thorough investigation is underway into how the woman got out of the locked unit, she added.

The woman was an "involuntary admission” to the hospital, Pike said.

Surveillance videos showed Denbrok walking out the front doors of the hospital, then running down Hospital Road and out of camera range.
