SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The search for an Orem couple presumed to have drowned in Strawberry Reservoir remained on standby today because of rough weather.

High winds cut short Saturday's search for 29-year-old Steven Roundy and his 23-year-old wife Catheryn Springer Roundy. They disappeared when their 14-foot aluminum boat sank four days ago.

Winds were whipping up waves 3 feet high on Strawberry Reservoir, which covers about 26 square miles in mountainous Uinta National Forest, about 60 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.

Searchers had been using sonar to scan 80 feet down to the bottom of the reservoir.

They found the body of a third person on Friday -- a man believed to have died years ago.

That body was sent the body to the medical examiner's office for identification.
