32 of the 36 bodies have been identified, Snohomish County officials say
10 people are still missing
President Barack Obama will visit the area on April 22, the one-month anniversary
The death toll from a massive landslide that struck in Washington state’s Cascade Mountains rose Tuesday to 35, the Snohomish County medical examiner said.
Of those 36 bodies, 32 have been identified, county officials said.
Eleven people are still missing after a rain-saturated hillside along the Stillaguamish River gave way on the outskirts of the rural town of Oso on March 22.
The news came as the White House announced President Barack Obama will visit the area on April 22, the one month anniversary of the slide, and meet with search crews.
Search crews continue to dig through deep, gelatinous mud and debris, which is 70 feet thick in some places, to search for the missing.
Of the 34 recovered bodies, 30 have been identified, the medical examiner said.
