BATH, N.C. (AP) - Searchers have found the bodies of a North Carolina couple in their 70s missing from their abandoned boat.

The Coast Guard said crews recovered the bodies Sunday after the man and woman went missing Friday in the Pamlico River. They were last seen leaving a Beaufort County marina aboard their 20-foot boat. That vessel was found hours later unmanned and adrift.

The Coast Guard and Beaufort County Emergency Management Agency searched by land, air and sea.
