WHITE BEAR LAKE, Minn. (AP) — There has been no word from the family of a Minnesota couple missing in the Italian cruise ship disaster since the search for missing people was called off.

Members of the Jerry and Barbara Heil family of White Bear Lake did not immediately return phone calls from The Associated Press on Tuesday. The family website has not been updated since last Wednesday.

The Heils are members of St. Pius X church in White Bear Lake. Parish administrator Larry Erickson says he has not heard from family members recently but that parishioners have been keeping the couple in their prayers.

Italian emergency officials decided to end the search due to the danger to rescue workers.

Seventeen bodies have been recovered. Sixteen people are listed as missing but are presumed dead.
