An autistic 15-year-old El Paso boy is back home safe Monday with his family after he went missing from his family members at White Sands National Monument while they were sledding on the sand dunes Sunday.
Monument spokeswoman Becky Wiles said Angelo Baca was found walking around 10:15 a.m. in the sand dune field carrying his round pink sled by an Air Force Black Hawk helicopter out of Kirtland Air Force Base. Baca had been missing for about 19 hours.
"He was found in good health and spirits," Wiles said. "He was walking in the dunes approximately six miles from the point he was last seen. He was flown to the command post and reunited with his family. He was waving friendly to the helicopter. He was hungry and thirsty."
Chance Morgan saw his dog Bleu on Thursday for the first time since the husky went missing five years ago.
Chance, 16, has a form of autism, and his dog was his best friend.
"Excited, it just overwhelms me, just amazed, just definitely amazed," Chance said.
Bleu had been put up for adoption earlier this week by a family in Macclenny who had taken the stray dog in. During a checkup, a veterinarian discovered the dog had an embedded microchip and learned Bleu was registered to Chance's family in Lake City.
"I am absolutely amazed," Chance's mom, Tracie Morgan, said. "When he went missing, we went horseback looking for him, we went by four wheeler, we went by truck."
