Summary:
Mssrs. R.B., S.D. and R.M. were on a deer hunt in the area. They
decided to swim the Rio Grande to go to Mexico; although they made it across
successfully, S.D. and R.B. failed to make it across on the way back.
Planes began a search of the area on January 4th, and an NPS diver and five
local divers began a search of the river on the 5th. There is little
expectation of success, because the waters are very murky and it is unclear
exactly where the party entered the river. R.M. was to be interviewed to
gain further information on the 5th or 6th.
