U.S. Border Patrol agents assisted in a pair of rescues Sunday and Monday: one of a 72-year-old U.S. citizen near Naco, and the other of a 9-year-old Mexican girl.

The rescue of the man from Bisbee occurred late Sunday night after family members told the Cochise County Sheriff's Department that he was missing, said Rob Daniels, Border Patrol Tucson Sector spokesman. Cochise County called the Border Patrol, which launched a search.

The family told authorities the man was diabetic and had gone out earlier in the day with a metal detector, Daniels said. He was last seen east of the overpass at Bisbee Junction.

The Border Patrol sent out agents on foot and on ATV and found the man shortly after close to the international line on Border Road, east of Naco, Daniels said. The man was lost, tired and cold but was in good condition. He required no medical attention.

The rescue of the Mexican girl took place early Sunday morning near Willcox. At 10 p.m., Border Patrol agents tried to stop a vehicle carrying illegal immigrants on Kansas Settlement Road south of Willcox, Daniels said. The occupants bailed and agents caught some of the group.

They took them back to the Willcox Border Patrol station, where a woman told agents that her 9-year-old daughter was missing, Daniels said. Agents got a description of the girl and launched a search with agents and a Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine helicopter.

At about 12:30 a.m. Sunday, agents found the girl, her aunt and two others about one mile east of where the bailout occurred, Daniels said. They reunited the girl with her mother at the Border Patrol station.

The mother, 32, the aunt, 34, and the daughter, all of Tlaxcala, Mexico, chose to take a flight to Mexico City offered under the Interior Repatriation Program, Daniels said.
