An inspector examines the belongings found alongside the couple.

If you didn't hear about this story, you'll likely find it interesting. Since I recently finished reading a story about scientists finding Woolly Mammoths frozen in ice, it's no surprise that people have been found in the ice. This couple had been missing since World War 2.

In the News:  Swiss Couple Missing For 75 Years Found Frozen In The Alps
   A Swiss couple who disappeared from their farm in the Alps during World War II have finally been found, 75 years later, mummified in a glacier.

Marcelin, 40, and Francine, 37, Dumoulin went missing on August 15, 1942, after leaving to milk their cows in a meadow near their home. They never returned to their family, including their six children.

  A worker found the frozen bodies of a man and a woman last week during routine maintenance. The corpses were preserved in the receding Tsanfleuron glacier, near a slew of trendy ski resorts at 2,600 meters (8,500 feet)

Francine and Marcelin Dumoulin went missing from their Swiss farm in 1942.

When he got closer, he noticed a collection of frozen accessories -- backpacks, watches, mess kits, a glass bottle and boots -- all of which dated back several decades.

Decked in World War II-era clothing, the duo was frozen close together. Their bodies have since been airlifted from the Alps.

The couple's youngest daughter, 79-year-old Marceline Udry-Dumoulin, told Swiss paper Le Matin their children had never stopped looking for them.
