U.S. Border Patrol officials have found a Michigan mother and her baby on a ranch in southern Texas, four days after they were reported missing about 1,500 miles away.
Border agents from Laredo found the mother and child barefoot on a ranch in Webb County on Saturday, the sheriff’s office wrote on Facebook.
According to the sheriff’s office, border patrol agents identified the Michigan woman, who was reported missing along with her child on July 3, using her state driver’s license.
The couple was evacuated to safety and received medical treatment at a local hospital before being turned over by Border Patrol to the Sheriff’s Office.
