Soldiers scoured the canopy of the Amazon rainforest from helicopters as scent dogs raced between the trees in an enormous search operation to find four kids missing in the jungle for 40 days.
The four siblings, members of the Uitoto indigenous community and aged between one and 13, were travelling across Colombia in a Cessna light aircraft when it went down on May 1.
An initial investigation revealed the plane experienced engine failure in mid-air before the impact killed their mum Magdalena Mucutui, the pilot and an indigenous leader.
