UPDATE (April 8, 2022):
GOLDFIELD, Nev. (ADAMS) – Wrong turns led that Indiana couple who got lost in the Nevada desert down some gravel roads where they got stuck.
Family members of Ronnie and Beverly Barker are sharing what happened to the two last week. Their nephew says they took a wrong turn because their GPS wasn’t set to highways-only.
That led them up a mountain where they first got stuck in their RV, then got stuck in their car. They spent about a week in their car before Ronnie Barker passed away on Monday.
Beverly was rescued and airlifted to a Reno hospital. She’s reportedly in good condition.
