PATTONSBURG, Mo. (AP) -The pilot of a small plane that went missing in northwest Missouri was found dead along with the wreckage Tuesday.
Daviess County authorities confirmed the pilot, Kenny Stoner, of Ridgeway, was found dead in the wreckage just north of Pattonsburg. He was the only person believed to be on board.
Authorities discovered the crash site just outside Pattonsburg Tuesday morning in a rural, rugged area. They said the plane appears to be in one piece.
Crews have been searching for the Cessna 180 since it disappeared Sunday afternoon after taking off from the Northwest Missouri Regional Airport in Maryville.
Family members notified authorities the plane was missing when it never made it to Bethany, about 60 miles away.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the cause of the crash.
