The Guard member went missing Friday morning in Maverick County. It happened in a section of the river known for strong currents. The Maverick County sheriff says the Guard member went into the water after noticing a woman who was struggling to swim across from Mexico. The Guard member was assigned to Texas’ sprawling border security mission known as Operation Lone Star.
