MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. (AP) -- The bodies of two Michigan sisters have been found at the bottom of a steep hill on Mackinac Island.

Mackinac Island police report Monday that 59-year-old island resident Karen Schwarck and 57-year-old Edith Bonno of Canton Township in Wayne County were snowmobiling Sunday when they apparently rode over the edge of the West Bluff.

The women were out on a photography excursion. Police say in a release that Schwarck's husband reported them missing at 10:15 p.m. Sunday.

Their bodies were found after 2 a.m. Monday.

Police say alcohol was not a factor in their deaths.
