RCMP reported Monday that three members of the Pelsma family were missing.
They hadn't been heard from since Saturday, were believed to be using the family UTV side-by-side and were overdue for a function they were planning to attend, said a news release from Parkland RCMP.
Search efforts by emergency services personnel, Edmonton police and ground search-and-rescue volunteers focused on the family's last known location near the Alexis Bridge off Range Road 40A, about 90 kilometres northwest of Edmonton.
Parkland RCMP, Lac Ste Anne County fire personnel and an underwater team recovered the bodies, which were taken to the medical examiner in Edmonton.
