Human Remains Found

Agents could not determine gender due to the decomposed state of the body and a lack of any identification. The scene was turned over to the Pima County Sheriff's Office.

From Oct. 1, 2008, through Aug. 31, 2009, Border Patrol Agents have rescued more than 500 people from the Sonoran Desert; many of whom sustained injuries while attempting illegal entry into the United States.
