Alaska Couple Found Dead After Snow Machine Journey Amid Storm

Search efforts for Charlene Habros and Dustin Gologergen were hindered by severe weather conditions and extreme cold.

Charlene Habros, 34, and Dustin Gologergen, 55, were found dead in western Alaska after their snow machines were overdue.
The couple was traveling from Teller to Nome, a journey of about 70 miles, when they encountered a heavy storm.
Search efforts were hindered by the storm and extreme cold, with wind chill in Nome reaching 20 below 0 Fahrenheit.
An Alaska National Guard C130 search plane located the snow machine, but there were no signs of the couple.
The bodies of Habros and Gologergen were discovered by a search team on Tuesday afternoon and are being transported to the State Medical Examiner's Office in Anchorage for autopsies.
