Couple Has Been Missing for 6 Days in Sweltering Park

Long-term survival in Joshua Tree National Park is "not impossible but highly improbable," a spokesperson is warning six days after a couple vanished inside the park's boundaries. 

Joseph Orbeso, 21, and Rachel Nguyen, 20, of Orange County, Calif., haven't been seen or heard from since setting out on a hike on Thursday, park rep George Land tells the Orange County Register. 

Their car was found in the northwest area of the park on Friday after the owner of a bed and breakfast in which the couple were staying found they'd failed to check out. Fresh tracks leading from the vehicle suggested they headed north into a canyon, per NPR. However, the tracks also "indicate these people could be walking in circles," says Land.
