On Oct. 20 at 7:45 p.m. the Humboldt County Sheriff’s office received a 911 cell phone transfer from the Trinity County Sheriff’s office. The 31-year-old female caller told the Humboldt County Sheriff’s office dispatcher that she and her 16-year-old daughter were lost.

The call was dropped during the conversation.

The dispatcher attempted several times to call the victim to determine where they were. The dispatcher was able to get a GPS coordinate off the cell phone and sent deputies to locate them.

Deputies responded to the area of the GPS coordinates and located the lost females on a roadway. The deputy had to drive into Trinity County via Van Duzen River Road and then back into Humboldt County to access the location near Coffee Pot Road, the Blocksburg area of Humboldt County.

The deputy found both females curled up in the roadway trying to stay warm. They were in good health and required no medical assistance. They were transported by the deputy to their vehicle. They had been hunting in the area and became separated from their party.

Their cell phones battery had died during calls to a friend and 911 seeking assistance.
