"There were times of total fear and loss and wanting to give up. And it did come down to life and death and I had to choose...and I chose life. I wasn't going to take the easy way out," she said.
The helicopter that found Eller was paid for with some of the $75,000 raised in an online fundraising campaign to pay for the search for her.
