It's interesting that even a drone search could not find the missing wife, although they did find the husband near the trailhead. Sounds like the wife may have taken shelter under some boulders while the husband went back to seek help. I don't recommend that anybody search in the summer heat. The black rock makes the crater hotter than surrounding areas, and I believe the town of Amboy is as hot as Palm Springs. It wouldn't surprise me if the crater is almost as hot as Death Valley.
