Mexican and American authorities are searching for a small plane that went missing while carrying the American and Mexican heads of the International Water and Boundary Commission.

Mexico's foreign relations department said in a statement late Tuesday that a binational search crew has been combing both sides of the border near the town of Ojinaga, across the border from Presidio, Texas.

It said the swelling of the Conchos and Bravo rivers have made the search difficult.

Earlier Tuesday, Chihuahua state Gov. Jose Reyes Baeza Reyes told reporters that American investigators had located the plane and that all four passengers had died in a crash. His press office retracted his statement and said the search for the plane continued.
