PINKHAM NOTCH, N.H. (AP) – Rescuers headed up Mount Lafayette in the White Mountains on Monday to look for a missing middle-aged man and woman from Massachusetts.

Fish and Game Lt. Todd Bogardus said the unidentified couple from Andover, Mass., was due home Sunday night.

The search was called off late Monday and the rescue team planned to go back to the mountain early Tuesday, according to Bogardus.

He said Fish and Game, Androscoggin Valley Search and Rescue and a National Guard helicopter were taking part in the effort, hampered by 75 mph winds and below-freezing temperatures.
