YELLOWKNIFE — The search for three overdue travellers on frozen Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories has been suspended after police say searchers in a helicopter spotted a body. Unable to land on ice near the location, RCMP say they confirmed it was a body with aerial photographs, although the identity hasn’t been determined. Yannick Hamel, Yellowknife RCMP operations manager, said in a news release. Police said the investigation will continue as an open missing persons file. The missing travellers were aboard a 1990s-era Black Bombardier Scandic two seater, towing two toboggans.
