Two bodies found in a ravine in Sao Vicente, Madeira. French couple missing since March 16.
Everything suggests that the two bodies are those of the missing couple, police say. They had not given any sign of life after leaving for a hike on March 16 in the Portuguese island. Their 27-year-old daughter had raised the alarm after not seeing them return even though they had only left with two bottles of water, according to the French press. The two missing tourists, aged 58 and 56, owners of a bakery, were on vacation on the Portuguese Island, which is known as the “pearl of the Atlantic” and welcomes thousands of tourists each year. The French authorities have announced the opening of an investigation into the worrying disappearance of a French couple from Beaumont-de-Lomagne (Tarn-et-Garonne), in the south of France. The file is automatically transmitted to the courts’ which takes over the investigation, he added.
