Swiss Couple Missing For 75 Years Found Frozen On Glacier
The remains of a Swiss couple who went missing 75 years ago have been found “perfectly preserved” on a glacier in the Alps, according to local media reports.
The bodies of Marcelin and Francine Dumoulin, who were 40 and 37 when they went missing, were located near a ski lift above the village of Chandolin in the Swiss canton of Valais last week, Lausanne daily Le Matin reported. An employee of the cable car company Glacier 3000 found the bodies.
The Dumoulins, who had seven children, were last seen in August 1942 when they ventured up to a mountain pasture to feed their cattle, their family said.
“It was the first time my mother went with him on such an excursion,” the couple’s youngest daughter, Marceline Udry-Dumoulin, told the paper. “She was always pregnant and couldn’t climb in the difficult conditions of a glacier.”
