'The evidence suggests they are still alive!' Fresh hope in search for four missing children a MONTH after their plane crashed in Amazon jungle as rescuers find tiny footprint and more half-eaten fruit
Rescuers looking for four indigenous children lost for a month in the Colombian Amazon jungle after a plane crash say evidence suggests the youngsters may still be alive.
The children - aged 11 months, four, nine, and 13 - were travelling in a light aircraft on May 1 when the engine is thought to have failed.
The crash claimed the lives of the children's mother Magdalena Mucutui Valencia, the pilot, and an indigenous leader.
There were no signs of the children when the wreckage was recovered by the Colombian military - leading to a massive search operation in the southeast of the country to find them.
More than 100 men are involved in the rescue mission, and army leaders claim it is 'highly probable' the children are still alive due to the clues they have been finding.
