POLICE OFFICERS CRADLING TWO
LITTLE GIRLS.
TWO DECADES LATER --

I'M GOING TO SAY YOU'RE
KOURTNEY?
>> YEAH.

RIGHT HERE.
>> YEAH, I DO.
>> OH, MY GOSH.
>> Reporter: THE WORACEK TWINS,
KOURTNEY AND JENNIFER, MEET
THEIR GUARDIAN ANGELS.
>> WE OWE YOU LIKE EVERYTHING.
>> COME HERE.
THE TALKING PART, THIS IS --
>> Reporter: WE BROUGHT THEM
TOGETHER TO RECOUNTS THE ORDEAL
OF THAT FRIGID ORDEAL IN 1997.
THE TWINS REMEMBER VIRTUALLY
NOTHING.
>> WE WERE SO LITTLE.
>> Reporter: KOURTNEY AND
JENNIFER WENT WITH US BACK TO
THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THEIR
SURVIVAL STORY AND RESCUE MADE
NATIONAL NEWS.
>> THREE YEARS OLD.
>> THAT'S A FAR WALK FOR A THREE
YEAR OLD IN SNOW.
>> NEGATIVE TWO.
>> NEGATIVE TWO, WOW.
>> Reporter: THE TWINS WANDERED
OUT OF THE HOUSE SOMETIME DURING
THE NIGHT.
THEIR DAD, TOM, WOKE UP AT
4:00 A.M. AND REALIZED HIS GIRLS
WERE GONE.
>> I SAW THE LIGHTS ON AND THE
FRONT DOOR OPEN.
AND PRINTS O THE DOOR.
>> Reporter: DID YOUR HEART
STOP?
>> OH, YEAH.
IT WAS ROUGH.
DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO LOOK.
SAW FOOTPRINTS, BUT ONCE WE GOT
DOWN TO THE STREET, IT WAS TOO
MANY PRINTS TO FOLLOW, SO IT
WAS -- IT WAS SCARY.
>> Reporter: THE FAMILY THINKS
THE TWIN TRIED TO GET IN THE
BACK DOOR, BUT IT WAS LOCKED.
THEY LEFT THE BACK PACK WITH
SNACKS INSIDE ON THE BARK PORC
CK PORCH.
THEY CROSSED FOUR LANES OF 13th
STREET AND ENDED UP IN THAT
ALLEY.
OMAHA POLICE SERGEANT REMEMBERS
GETTING STUCK ON THE ICY HILL,
SEEING THE FOOTPRINTS, A BOOT
AND FINDING THE TWINS, ONE ON
TOP OF THE OTHER.
>> YOU'RE KIND OF HUDDLED OVER
THE TOP OF HER.
IT IS NOT GOOD.
>> KOURTNEY, THE FIRST THING,
WHEN WE GOT TO YOU, WAS "HELP MY
SISTER."
DO YOU REMEMBER THAT?
>> Reporter: SERGEANT KISTER
GRABBED KOURTNEY, ANOTHER
OFFICER HANDED JENNIFER TO
ANOTHER OFFICER, WHO ALSO WORKED
FOR BELLEVUE FIRE.
THEY WRAPPED THEIR COATS AROUND
THE LITTLE GIRLS' FROZEN BODY.
NO TIME TO WAIT FOR AN
AMBULANCE.
>> YOUR HANDS WERE ICE BALLS.
I REMEMBER DIGGING THAT ICE.
SO YOU ACTUALLY DIED RIGHT AS WE
WERE PULLING UP IN THE RAMP OF
THE HOSPITAL.
>> Reporter: BUT EMERGENCY
MEDICAL TREATMENT SAVED THEM
BOTH.
THE ONLY REAL MEMORY ARE THE
FROSTBITE.
THE FADED HEADLINES ABOUT THE
ANXIOUS JANUARY MORNING, WAGNER
KEEPS THEM CLOSE, AT THE CENTER,
WHERE HE TRAINS OTHERS IN CPR.
THEY ARE REMINDERS OF HOW LIVES
CAN BE SAVED, AND DIVINE
INTERVENTION CAN HAPPEN.
>> WE WERE OBVIOUSLY PUT ON THIS
EARTH FOR A REASON.
