Footprint discovery brings hope for missing children in Colombian jungle

Footprints found in a southern jungle-covered part of Colombia have revived hope of finding four children who survived a small plane crash and went missing a month ago. Searchers found footprints about 2 miles northwest of where the plane crashed with three adults and four indigenous children aged 13, 9, 4, and 11 months. More than 100 members of Colombia’s special forces and more than 70 indigenous people from the area have joined the search through virgin jungle in the Colombia Amazon. The searchers believe they were of the oldest child, a girl, and the new clue may indicate that the group has changed course.
