Of those three, one is believed to have been the remains of Charles Clifford Ogle, who disappeared in the area forty years ago. He departed Metropolitan Oakland International Airport in a four-seater Cessna 210 on the 12th of August in 1964. His family did not know what his destination was, although in 1985, William Ogle found his father’s mistress, who said that he was heading for a business meeting in Reno.
Searchers have stumbled upon the wreckage of at least eight light plane crashes, going back decades, which were never properly logged or investigated at the time.
For William Ogle, 47, a professor of biomedical engineering in Florida, the search for Mr Fossett stirs up troubled memories. Back in August 1964, when he was four, his father, Charles "Chuggie" Ogle, took off from Oakland, California, and never came back.
