On Tuesday morning a woman walking nearby called 911 to say she could hear a woman yelling for help from a sewer drain at an intersection.
After he rescue, Kennedy told police that on March 3, she went for a swim in a canal near her boyfriend's house. She told them that while she was swimming, she came across a doorway near a shallow part of the canal.
She claimed she became curious as to where the tunnel led and continued to follow it. She told police the tunnel led to another tunnel and so on until she realized she was lost.
Kennedy told police she had been walking around the sewer system for approximately three weeks. On Tuesday, the days she was found, she explained she saw light and people walking by so she stayed in place until help arrived.
Kennedy was reported missing by her boyfriend on March 3, according to police.
