FARMINGTON, MO (AP) --
Authorities have found the remains of a small, single-engine plane that crashed in southeast Missouri.
FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said in a prerecorded phone message that there was a fire when the plane crashed. The plane was found late Friday night about 18 miles south of Farmington.
Authorities have been searching for a plane that went missing March 27 as it flew from Arkansas to Wisconsin. Lt. Col. David
Miller of the Civil Air Patrol told St. Louis broadcaster KMOX that the plane discovered Friday is the missing plane.
Messages that the Associated Press left Saturday with the Civil Air Patrol and the Madison County Sheriff's Office weren't
immediately returned. Cory says the National Transportation Safety Board will lead the investigation.
