The search for the sixth victim from the doomed ski trip last weekend has been suspended.
The still missing person is a 28-year-old woman from Fribourg. She was the girlfriend of one of the others and the only person who wasn’t part of the family. The other five were all related.
Valais police say that she remains untraceable after a week of looking. They say they will occasionally visit the scene of the tragedy until she is found.
