Agents deployed to the area described by the man but were unable to find anyone. More agents soon arrived on scene to assist with the search that continued through the night.

On Thursday afternoon, agents received word that a Fish and Wildlife officer found the three individuals. Border Patrol agents responded to the location and conducted a medical evaluation.

After determining that no further medical attention was needed, agents transported the trio to the Tucson Coordination Center for processing in accordance with Tucson Sector guidelines.
