On a summer day in August 1942, Swiss couple Marcelin and Francine Dumolin set off on foot in the Alps. They never returned.
Now, two bodies have been discovered in a shrinking glacier by a worker from a ski-lift company, according to Swiss media, and they are believed to be the couple who disappeared some 75 years ago.

Authorities say it will take a few days for DNA evidence to formally confirm the identities.
But the couple's youngest daughter, 79-year-old Marceline Udry-Dumoulin, tells Le Matin that the news is already bringing her immense relief.
"We have spent our lives searching for them, relentlessly. We did not think we could ever give them the funeral they deserved," she said. "I must say that after 75 years of waiting this news calms me deeply."

So glad their loved ones can finally have some closure.

It's so sad that their 7 kids were sent to different families and didn't know each other growing up.
