BOISE COUNTY, Idaho — On Facebook, the Boise County Sheriff's Office announced that a missing family has been found safe and are on their way home. No other details were provided. The original story follows.

The Boise County Sheriff's Office and the Boise Police Department have found three people who went missing on Friday, according to a Facebook post by the sheriff's office.

Marcus Wrector, 45,  Mindy Taylor-Wray, 33, 13-year-old Ambria were last seen driving on Highway 21 in a maroon 2001 Chevy Silverado. Officials say the three were planning on going sledding at Lucky Peak Reservoir. Their dog, Scout, was also with them.

They were expected to return to Caldwell at 3 p.m. on Friday, but were not seen and had not been heard from until they were found on Saturday. 

Boise Police say the family spent the night in their truck after getting stuck near Spring Shores. They were pulled out by passing snowmobilers.

Family members say the four would not have camped in these weather conditions and are known to travel to Boise and Valley counties and explore the area with no destination in mind.
