Four bodies found in desert Wednesday
ARIZONA DAILY STAR
The bodies of four people believed to be illegal entrants were found in the desert west of Tucson and near Sonoita Wednesday, officials said Friday.
The first body was discovered around 10 a.m. by Border Patrol agents working near the village of Cowlic on the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation south of Sells, said Agent Sean King, a spokesman for the agency's Tucson sector.
The body was that of a woman who was crossing the desert with her brother-in-law when she became ill, he said.
About 90 minutes later, Border Patrol agents working close to the village of Hickiwan, which is also on the reservation, came across another body that had no identification, King said. He did not know the sex of the person.
Just before noon, agents found a body near the Three Points area. That person also had no ID and King did not know the sex.
Then at 2 p.m., a citizen contacted the Border Patrol to report that he found a man dead near the Babocomari Ranch, near Sonoita, King said. He was in his mid 30s and had an ID from Mexico. Authorities believe he is from Puebla.
The four bodies bring to 128 the number of known illegal entrant deaths since the start of the fiscal year October 1. There were 177 known deaths at this point last fiscal year.

Anybody that encourages these illegal border crossings or offers assistance or hope in coming here, should bear this heavily on their conscience. Also, I don't know how the Catholic Church can let these people die out there without Confession or Last Rites. You think they would be discouraging it.
