A California hiker who went missing in the Los Angeles National Forest was saved thanks to a savvy stranger sitting at home on his computer. Rene Compean was reported missing in the San Gabriel mountains about 6 p.m. Monday by a friend who got a text from him saying he was lost and that his cell phone was dying. On Tuesday, the sheriff’s department sent out a call for help on Facebook. Benjamin Kuo saw the photo and then alerted rescuers that he believed he knew where the missing hiker may be. #InsideEdition

But they could not find her in time and she froze. Had she simply called 911 instead of her friend in Toronto, 3000 miles away, 911 dispatch could have pinpointed her location. JUST CALL 911!!!

I ended up accidentally using the fire department frequency, but since it was a really rural area it ended up fine and I actually ended up helping more than harming.

I just want to thank the people who helped. In the future we need to be able to find each other online to help others. Sometimes it's incredibly difficult to find the right people who can and will help find missing persons.

Thank Goodness for Mr. Benjamin satellite detective, great thinking and he moved quickly to help , he is a hero . To the man that was lost that pic and text help save your life , but please next time you go hiking be prepared, know more about the area your going into, take water , food ,flashlight, compass . Best not to stray in an area you don't know to well , be safe .

ZED - Seriously ? Staying home is not the best solution !!! Information and training is the way to go. Take some training in whatever you would like to do. On the water ? Coast Guard Auxiliary. Hiking ? REI classes ? Google whatever and LEARN. This guy did it all wrong. No 'flight plan' filed, no battery back-up, ALONE
