Sharif’s office said that the volunteer search team in the province initially narrowed the last spot known to the husband from the site’s participation application, then heard from the camp that saw the car lost one day ago.
After about four hours of sending it, the first noteing research team found: “Help. My son and I have been cut off without service and they cannot call the number 911. We are at the front, on the road to the right. Please call 911 for help to us. Thank you!”
Sharif’s office said that the team found a second note on the road, then after about one mile, they found the woman and her son, as their car stumbled.
Stark said that the husband spent tonight in the car with a cooler filled with food and drinks that they filed for a few days in the camp.
Thanks to the authorities of the husband to alert others to where they were going and when they would arrive and remain where they were as soon as they were lost. The boy also used his whistle to release three short shirts – a sign of help that is taught the scouts.
“They did everything correctly,” said Stark. “They put themselves in the best position to find.”
