THESE ARE INTERNATIONAL SEARCH AND RESCUE CREW MEMBERS FROM THE CITY OF ACUNA, CIUDAD ACUNA, ON THE MEXICAN SIDE OF THE BORDER JUST ACROSS THE RIVER ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE FROM DEL RIO. THEY WERE BROUGHT UP HERE TO TRY AND HELP OUT AS WELL, AND WE CAUGHT UP WITH THEM EARLIER TODAY WHEN THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND A BODY, THEY FOUND A MISSING PERSON EARLIER TODAY DURING THEIR FIRST MISSION OUT THIS MORNING. HAVE A LOOK.
NEAR INGRAM, THE PAINSTAKING WORK CONTINUES IN THIS SPECIFIC AREA WHERE TWO BODIES WERE FOUND. UNDERNEATH ALL OF THIS RUBBLE OVERNIGHT AND INTO THE MORNING HOURS ON MONDAY IT WAS HERE, IN THIS SAME SPOT THAT WE CAUGHT UP WITH A GROUP OF MEXICAN SEARCH AND RESCUE PROFESSIONALS FROM CIUDAD ACUNA AS THEY RETURNED FROM THEIR FIRST MORNING MISSION, WHERE THEY RECOVERED A BODY CADAVER.
