A woman has been pulled from a drain for the third time in two years after last being rescued in 2021 “naked and dirty”.

Police and firefighters in Florida responded to calls that a woman might be in distress after she went for a swim in a canal around lunchtime on Wednesday (January 18).

Delray Beach Police Department said that Lyndsey Jane Kennedy was eventually rescued from a drain, as she had also been in March and May 2021.

She was first rescued almost two years ago after being found trapped in a rubbish-filled storm drain almost three weeks after she was reported missing in March 2021.

Back then, she was found naked in the eight-foot drain and was only saved when a passer-by heard her cries for help.

The second time came three months later when she was found in a six-foot drain in Texas.

At the time, her mother told CBS TV that Kennedy had recently been checked into a rehab centre but had wandered off and was reported missing.

This time around, Delray Police said she ignored their shouts and crawled further into a culvert pipe passing underneath Lindell Boulevard north of Miami.

Rescuers from the Delray Beach Fire Rescue Special Operations Team managed to use ladders to finally get Kennedy out of the pipe after they succeeded in keeping her in a limited section of the drain.

She was later taken to hospital and was treated at the scene for minor injuries thought to have been sustained during the incident.

Kennedy was rescued the first time around by services from Delray near West Atlantic Avenue and South West 11th Avenue.

Officers and firefighters arrived at the scene following a call from a woman who said she could hear shouts coming from a drain.

Kennedy, who was at the time 43, is understood to have stopped in that particular part of town because she had been able to see light and people walking past.

After the initial incident, her mother explained that Kennedy had a history of using drugs and doing “odd things” and “making bad decisions.”
