Before he died, six-year-old Carlos Sanchez told his mother that he was able to see his deceased grandfather. Little Carlos succumbed to the intense heat found in Death Valley, during the summer time. By the time a park ranger found the Jeep Cherokee (stuck in the sand), Carlos was dead (his body was still in the vehicle's front seat), and his mother, Alica Sanchez, had been drinking urine-hers-in order to stay alive.
How did this happen? The woman simply followed the instructions given to her by her GPS unit- although it is not known if the unit directed her to that particular spot, or if it guided her to a general area, where she may have spotted a vague trail. Nonetheless, Ms. Sanchez wound up on a road that had been closed for some time, and one that was impassable.
What is known, is that Ms. Sanchez was relying on her GPS unit alone, and that she did not have any paper maps of the area with her.
To be continued....
