Anna and Suki Jung, both 71, were reported to have gone missing Tuesday near Zigzag. According to a news release from the sheriff’s office, a group of six hikers had been hiking the Paradise Park Trail. Four of the hikers returned to their cars around 2:30 p.m., and realized that Anna and Suki Jung were missing from the group.

The sheriff’s office said in a news release that the Jungs were cold, but were otherwise safe when they were found. Search teams found items that belonged to the couple, as well as shoe prints in the mud, which led them to find the couple near a riverbed in dense forest, more than half a mile from the roadway. It took them several hours to rescue the Jungs due to rough terrain and steep elevation.

Several agencies joined the search, and crews looked for the Jungs until 3 a.m., according to KOIN news. They resumed the search later on Wednesday morning.
