(Two bodies found in the desert)…Border Patrol Agents say they found the two after encountering a suspected illegal Tuesday. He was walking on S-2 near the Imperial and San Diego County line. He reportedly told the agents he was part of a group of ten. He said others needed medical help about two hours away. The agents backtracked and found one man dead. Another body was found early Wednesday morning, north of Ocotillo. Agents say the group of ten had separated. The deceased came from the group of four. Three people were hospitalized, and three more are still missing. The Border Patrol says they are on a rescue mission to find those still in the desert. The so-called ‘coyotes’ who led the group into the desert are reportedly among those arrested.
