70-Year-Old California Man Rescued After 6 Days Missing

There were hugs and tears of relief when a man who was missing for almost a week was found. California's Placer County Sheriff's Office says up to 100 people, representing 10 different law enforcement agencies, were searching for Warren Elliott daily. Mr. Elliott says he went for a walk from his camping site in Rubicon Springs on July 19, only to go in the wrong direction. The 70-year-old says he drank water from the river and found a handful of berries to eat over his ordeal.
