They were going to recover a dirt bike that had broken down on the trail the day before. After locatinng the bike they headed back to their vehicle. When her husband got there she had not yet caught up. He searched most of the day to a point of near exhaustion. He then called 911. Game wardens arrived at 430pm with deputies and firefighters not far behind. Kirkpatricks husband was transported to Conroe Regional Hospital. Detectives are meeting with him at this hour. Kirkpatrick has a known medical condition which combined with triple digit temperature could be dangerous.
