‘I’m going to take a long vacation’: Florida woman saves drowning stranger, then cops show her his wanted poster

A Florida woman who jumped into the ocean to save a struggling swimmer has since learned that the man she rescued is a double murder suspect on the run. Belinda was on a morning walk near Riomar Beach in Vero Beach, Florida, when she heard faint calls for help. “I could hear a faint ‘help, help, help,'” she said. She spotted someone struggling in the water and ran in to help without hesitation.

She told the man to flip onto his back and let the waves carry him. “So, he got on his back, and he said, ‘I’m exhausted. I’m tired.'” Belinda kept pushing him to hold on. “I said, ‘Do it! Get on your back and stay on your back. Let the waves carry you. You can do it. Come on,'” she recalled. The two slowly made their way back to the shore together.
