Search and rescue workers on Monday found an autistic teenager who had wandered away from his family during a weekend outing at White Sands National Monument and spent the night among the sand dunes with no food or water.
The rescue came a week after a successful search for an Oklahoma couple who got lost at the monument while trying to hike back to their vehicle after the man proposed.
Monument officials said the autistic 15-year-old was spotted midmorning by a U.S. Air Force Blackhawk helicopter. He was walking in the dunes about six miles from where he was last seen.
