Couple's Frozen Corpse Found after 75 Years in Switzerland
Marcelin and Francine Dumoulin left on the long walk to feed their cattle in a meadow above Chandolin in the Valais canton on August 15, 1942, but never returned. Their bodies were discovered by a worker from the cable car and ski lift company Glacier 3000 in the Tsanfleuron glacier, 25 years after. The glacier is retreating causing much of the area to become uncovered, according to Accuweather.
Along with the couple's World War II-era clothes, they also had several items well-preserved - such as a book and watch - that helped local police identify the remains.
