Two bodies were found this weekend near the Maze Loop. It hasn't been confirmed if these are those of Rachel and Joseph, but it probably is. http://www.kesq.com/news/top-storie...e-of-missing-hikers-source-confirms/638428207
The remains were found today on the north side of the Maze Loop trail. Joseph Orbeso's father Gilbert was with members of Joshua Tree Search and Rescue when the bodies were found.
Gilbert Orbeso has been joining JOSAR crews weekly. They comb through miles of terrain, focusing on the areas near the Maze Loop Trail.
The lead detective on the case from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office is now on the way to the scene. Official identification of the bodies has not yet been made, sources say. KESQ and CBS Local 2 reporter Lauren Coronado is also headed there and will have live reports at 6 pm on KESQ and 6:30 pm on CBS Local 2.
Bless his father. He never gave up searching and it sounds like he found them. Prayers go out to their families.
