Troopers with the Missouri Highway Patrol said the bodies were found near 1550 Hideaway Harbor Drive in Portage Des Sioux.
The bodies were believed to have been there for several days, reports KMOV.
Reinhardt and Frangel were known to go for drives in that area because it cleared their heads, said Reinhardt’s mother, adding family members originally searched for the pair in the area but had to limit it because of floodwaters.
