The couple was found by Border Patrol agents in Sierra Blanca. Their Hyundai SUV had gotten stuck in the desert, near the border with Mexico, police said.
"They had gotten lost, they drifted a little too far. But, you know we are just relieved border patrol was there and able to find them and get them to safety," Jody Sanchez, their granddaughter said.
