The Cheboygan County Sheriff says the bodies of two missing boaters have been found in Mullet Lake.

A search team has been looking for Orbie and Billi Jo Longway since Tuesday night.  The couple went out in their canoe to go fishing on Mullet Lake and never returned. 

The body of Orbie Longway was found just outside the original search area around 4 P.M. on Friday, according to Sheriff Dale Claremont. Billi Jo Longway's body was found shortly after 5 P.M. 

The sheriff has said that  alcohol is believed to be a factor in the case.
