BUENA VISTA, Colo. (AP) — The search for a small airplane en route to Utah ended Saturday when search teams found wreckage and three bodies in the central Colorado mountains.
The plane carried a pilot, a woman and her 12-year-old daughter, Civil Air Patrol Major Mike Spray said. The plane's occupants were not immediately identified.
The Colorado Civil Air Patrol found the plane near a crest of the Continental Divide.
The plane disappeared Friday after it took off from Jefferson County Airport en route to Halls Crossing on the Colorado River in southern Utah.
