The St. Louis County Rescue Squad has found the bodies of two snowmobilers who were missing after they apparently broke through thin ice on a lake southeast of Ely, Minn.
Rescuers recovered the body of 60-year-old Debbie Senarighi, of Cloquet, just before midnight on Monday. The St. Louis County Sheriff's Office said the rescue squad found the body of Kenneth Wildenauer, also 60, Wednesday afternoon.
Wildenauer, who also is from Cloquet, was reported missing after he didn't turn up for work Monday. He and Senarighi were last seen together Friday evening at Tanks Bar in Babbitt.
Both of their vehicles were found at Wildenauer's cabin nearby. A St. Louis County Sheriff's Office release says the snowmobile went through the ice near Beargrease Island on White Iron Lake.
