CALGARY – A young Calgary couple has been identified as victims of a boat trip in southern Alberta that ended in tragedy.
RCMP said the pair set out on McGregor Lake near Vulcan on Sunday. Their speedboat was later spotted adrift with several dogs on board.
The body of a woman in her 30s was located near the shore of the lake that afternoon. Officers said she wasn’t wearing a life jacket, and that none were found on the boat.
Friends have identified the woman as Kamber Lindenbach, a personal trainer originally from Golden, B.C., who had been living in Calgary for a number of years.
RCMP spent Sunday night and all of Monday looking searching for her fiancé, 37-year-old Wayne Stertz. The search was eventually called off by RCMP who said they had combed the entire area without success.
RCMP said Wednesday the man’s body was located around 3 p.m. near the area where rescue crews found his boat.
The pair were set to be married within the next month.
McGregor Lake is located about 150 kilometres southeast of Calgary.
