Crews Find Pilot’s Remains After Crashing In Northern California
Search-and-rescue volunteers in Northern California have found the remains of an 84-year-old pilot from Oregon whose plane crashed on Saturday.
A Siskiyou County sheriff’s spokeswoman says the remains of Alonzo Mullin were located Tuesday in an area near Happy Camp where the aircraft engine had been found two days earlier.
DNA testing will be required to confirm the identity.
The Federal Aviation Administration says the Medford resident took off alone from Palm Springs on Saturday morning.
He reported having trouble descending through the clouds in Northern California at about 1:30 p.m.
The aircraft then dropped off radar and lost radio contact over Happy Camp.
