Although the family has been told different versions of what happened, it appears that the story is more or less the following: Hugo crossed into Arizona with a coyote and a group, likely near San Luis. He was left behind near Nolic, Arizona, on the Tohono O'odham reservation, (Nolic is about 14 miles West of Sells, AZ) near highway 86. This was apparently June 23, 2012. He was separated from the group near this area. He had no food or water. (Information retrieved from NamUs.gov)
