Presidio County Sheriff’s deputies discovered 16 migrants abandoned by their smuggler on a winding desert road, miles from Casa Piedra, Texas, on Tuesday. The group was left behind after the smuggler damaged a tire.
Deputies responded to the scene and discovered the migrants near the disabled vehicle. Police officers from Presidio drove an hour to assist. The smuggler was nowhere to be found and authorities believe he may have returned to Mexico with the aid of accomplices.
Casa Piedra, now a ghost town, was once a community near Big Bend National Park in far west Texas. The community was abandoned after World War II and is owned by a local family that has lived in the area for more than a century. There are no paved roads leading to Casa Piedra and traversing the area can be difficult.
