Police say that Malachi Bradley got lost near a remote
mountain lake near the Wyoming border Sunday morning. His aunt Lehua Estrada-Brown said she got a text from her
husband at the scene saying the boy was found Monday afternoon in good
shape.
Malachi Bradley survived in the remote, rugged area as temperatures dipped into the upper 30s overnight. More than 80 search and rescue workers as well as an airplane and helicopter combed the rocky terrain, searching for any sign of motion and calling to the boy over a loudspeaker system.
Malachi went missing Sunday morning, after he hiked to Paul
Lake with his brother, his sister, his father and his father's friend, Norton said. After being checked out by paramedics, Malachi was carried
away by his family.
