The search of the area to locate the other two people yielded results at around three in the afternoon, when the body of Fredy Vladimir Bonilla Pineda, 30, was located. He was removed from the site and taken to the top along with his father.

The search efforts continued, and at around 5 in the afternoon the body of José Miguel Bonilla Pineda, 26, was located.

The bodies were carried along trails for nearly two kilometers to be placed on solid ground and identified by the Policía Nacional Civil, prosecutors, and Legal Medicine authorities.
