On 22 January, Terry Kaufman (15) and Margaret Reese (16) entered Potter's Cave with five others of about the same age. After some exploration, the five left the cave, believing that Kaufman and Reese had already left.
About 19 hours later, the two were brought out of the cave by police and deputy sheriffs. Kaufman told rescuers that the candle they carried was accidentally extinguished and that they had no matches.

Analysis: The pair were obviously ill equipped, at least in regard to having proper illumination.
