A local (Southern California) story with a happy ending, at least.

A couple took a day hike for photos in the desert, got lost, and hiked for 5 days with no food and little water, eventually finding other humans to recontact civilization.

Lots of search activity in the meantime w/o success. The couple saw helicopters, but could not attract their attention.

Some of the information posted in the media and other sources:
