Missing French skier identified after 64 years

A French skier who vanished more than 60 years ago has been identified after an appeal on social media, Italian police have said.

Human remains and ski equipment were found in 2005 at 10,000ft in the Cime Bianche in the Valtournenche valley of Aosta, near the Swiss border.

Emma Nassem, a Frenchwoman, heard the story on the radio and said the man could be her uncle, Henri le Masne, who went missing in 1954.
