Authorities scoured a cornfield Tuesday for remains of the co-founder of an Iowa marketing company, three of his employees and a pilot killed when their twin-engine plane crashed in rural northern Indiana.
Jeff White, spokesman for Two Rivers Marketing in Des Moines, said the company chartered the flight to travel between Ankeny, Iowa, to South Bend on Monday.
All five died on impact, LaPorte County Chief Deputy Coroner John Sullivan said. The cause of Monday night's crash was not yet determined, but officials were considering fog as a factor. Those living nearby told police they heard a noise that rattled windows.
The Cessna 303 crashed about 10 miles southwest of South Bend, shortly after takeoff from the South Bend Regional Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said. There were no indications of trouble before the plane vanished from radar, officials said.
Two Rivers Marketing identified the victims, all from Iowa, as co-founder Tom Dunphy, 41, Eric Jacobs, 31, Josh Trainor, 23, and Leslie O'Bannon, 27. Also killed was pilot John M. Trewet, 45, officials said.
