Bodies found in a melting Swiss glacier might have been buried since 1942


Police say the bodies of what appear to be two people killed in an accident decades ago have been recovered from a glacier in southwestern Switzerland. (Glacier 3000/Keystone via Associated Press)Last week, a picturesque Swiss landscape was interrupted by a grisly sight. A worker stumbled across boots, bottles and clothing protruding from the ice — and, accompanying them, two bodies that police are estimating had been buried there for decades. The bodies were found Friday on the Tsanfleuron glacier in Switzerland at an altitude of about 8,500 feet. Local media speculated that they are Marcelin and Francine Dumoulin, who went missing in 1942 after going to tend to their cows.
