Police in canton Valais believe they have identified the human remains found in the Corbassière glacier in September.
Using DNA testing and enlisting the help of Interpol, they believe they belong to an Englishman named David Browning who went missing while hiking in December 1974. He was 33.
Browning worked at the ‘La Cité’ College in Lausanne.
Press reports at the time says he was with a 24-year-old French woman, Geneviève Hoche, who remains missing.
Her parents at the time told the papers that they will leave Geneviève in Switzerland, close to the mountains she loved.
