PHOENIX – Henry Morello began to lose hope after being stranded in his car in the Arizona desert for five long days in which the 84-year-old drank windshield wiper fluid, used car mats to stay warm and read a car manual from cover to cover to pass the time.
Then, he heard a knock on a window from a hiker, and suddenly his long, painful ordeal was over.
“I just kissed him,” Morello said of the hiker. “He looked like an angel to me.”
