GLEN COE, Scotland (AP) — Police say the bodies of three missing hikers have been recovered from a mountain in the Scottish Highlands. A search for the trio began Saturday night when they didn’t return from hiking along a notoriously narrow ridge crest in Glen Coe. A Coastguard helicopter flying in fog and mist located the bodies and a search and rescue crew returned Sunday to recover them. Police Scotland says the deaths did not appear to be suspicious but a report will be given to prosecutors. The group set out to hike the Aonach Eagach, a 6-mile-long knife-edge ridge with precipitous drops.
