    Swiss couple missing since 1942 - found!

    This is a pretty cool hag-type story.

    The bodies of a Swiss couple missing since 1942 have been found "perfectly preserved" in a melting glacier.

    The couple had left home to tend to cattle in a high pasture and never returned to their kids.
    It is believed that they fell into a crevasse\depression and perished; and have been there covered by ice and snow since.

    One of their daughters, now 79 years old; is relieved to finally have closure.

    Who's next - Amelia?

    Edit - because I can't help it:

    The 79 year old daughter reports that she is also relieved because at the time of their disappearance, she had not been getting along with her parents. Their relationship was essentially "on ice"; but now that it seems to be thawing out; she is hoping that they will once again warm up to each other.

    LOL!!!! Thank you for this, Jim! At least I got a good belly laugh, but I have a pretty warped sense of humor.
