(KNZA)--Two lost boys were found safe in Brown County Monday afternoon.
Brown County Sheriff John Merchant said dispatch received a 911 call around 2:30 from a 13-year-old child who reported that he and his 8-year-old brother were lost.
Merchant said the kids went fishing in a local pond north of Fairview and decide to take an alternate route home. They became disoriented with the tall corn and unfamiliar surroundings, and couldn't find their way home.
The 13-year-old kept in contact with dispatch who located a specific area where they could be found by tracking his phone signal.
A local farmer assisted in honing in the possible area where the kids might be.
Merchant said Undersheriff Brian Guilliams walked through a corn field and located the kids, unharmed but tired and thirsty, at about 3:30.
