WOW! Couple, four children found safe after 2 nights missing in frigid Nevada mountains

The couple and four children who had been missing since Sunday night in the frigid mountains of northern Nevada were found safe Tuesday, local officials said.

The six were found “in fairly good shape,” late Tuesday morning after crews had spent two nights searching for them, said Pershing County police dispatcher Leslie Steward.

James Glanton, 34, and Christina McIntee, 25, their two children, ages 3 and 4, and a niece, 10, and nephew, 4, were found in a spot on the mountain range where cell reception was sparse, Steward said. The volunteer rescuer who first located them had to drive to another location in order to alert the sheriff’s office of the discovery, she said.

Pershing County Sheriff’s Office got the word shortly before 11 a.m. (2 p.m. EST) that the family’s vehicle had been located, Steward said. . “The jeep rolled. When they found them, it was on its side,” and they were stranded in the vehicle “down off a little slope,” she said.
