Fields Located, Improving in Medical Facility

HUNTINGDON (April 18) — After several hours of searching by multiple agencies, Lisa Jean Fields, 56, of Huntingdon, was found alive in the early hours of April 18.

Fields was reported missing by the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department during the afternoon on Friday, April 17.

According to authorities, the last known contact with Fields was at around 7:30 a.m. in her residence on McAdams Road in Huntingdon.

First responders staged at the Mixie Fire Department on Friday, and a ground search began at around 2:30 p.m. More than a dozen volunteers with the Carroll County Rescue Squad searched in the nearby woods and fields, using advanced mapping software to assist in their mission.

First responders located Fields just before 1 a.m. Upon finding her, Fields was reportedly severely dehydrated and was taken to TriStar Skyline Medical Center in Nashville for recovery. Her son, Seth Fields, said she was unable to stand or do more than mumble a few words.

Seth shared an update Sunday morning that Fields began showing signs of improvement after receiving fluids and antibiotics. They were still waiting on test results at the time of his update.

“We can worry about the exact cause over the next few days, but the getting better is a blessing,” Seth said.

More information will be provided at a later date.
