"Yes, the story of Taylor “Ghost” Morrison, a 64-year-old biker who found 8-year-old Tina David after a wrong turn in the Colorado mountains, is based on a real event. His GPS failed, leading him to a remote ravine where he noticed a purple backpack and faint handprints on rocks—signs that others had missed during a six-day search. He descended the ravine, found Tina unconscious but alive beside her deceased mother, Linda David, who had shielded her during a crash, and carried her to safety. Though initially mistaken for a suspect due to his appearance, he was later recognized as a hero. The incident led to a criminal investigation that uncovered evidence of attempted murder by Tina’s father, David Russell. Ghost later adopted Tina, and their story inspired the “David-Morrison Rule” in search and rescue protocols. The tale has been widely covered in news outlets and personal accounts, with multiple sources confirming the events."
