Ajo, Arizona — The search began with a prayer in the early morning hours, as the sun emerged from the mountains that adorn this picturesque, yet often deadly, landscape near the U.S.-Mexico border.
It was the third search that a grassroots group of volunteers known as the Armadillos had embarked on this summer with the hopes of finding José Salinas Pineda, a 21-year-old Mexican migrant who had been missing since early June.

But in the desolate Arizona desert, the volunteers share a humanitarian mission: to offer some closure to distraught families by finding the remains of their loved ones.
