geneva - After 75 years, the bodies of a missing Swiss couple were found in a melting glacier. Marcelin and Francine Dumoulin disappeared on August 15, 1942 when they went to milk their cows in the Alps.

The couple had seven children. One of them, the now 79-year-old daughter Marceline, reveals in Le Matin that after several decades the family finally gets clarity. 'We have continuously searched our parents for our entire lives. We have always hoped that there would be a day that we could give them a worthy funeral. '

The local police announced Monday that a hiker found the bodies without identity papers at an altitude of over 2600 meters. 'The bodies lay side by side. It's about a man and a woman wearing clothes from the time of World War II. Their bodies are in excellent condition. Their property is also well-preserved in the ice, 'said a spokeswoman.

After their parents' tragic accident, the children, five boys and two girls were placed in different families. 'I was so lucky that I could withdraw from an aunt. We all live in the same region, but have become strangers, 'said daughter Marceline.
