Elderly people found dead in forest

The bodies of two elderly people were found in the Appalachian Mountain area of Virginia after they apparently tried to find help after their car was stuck in a snowdrift. The body of an 89-year-old man was found Tuesday about 100 yards off Seven Mile Road in Jefferson National Park, and the body of a 75-year-old woman was discovered a quarter-mile away. There is reportedly no cell phone service in the area where the two were stranded. The bodies had not been identified Wednesday.
