What happened
An unidentified aircraft went down in Lake Marian during what is suspected to have been an unauthorized flight. Following the impact, a search was conducted; however, investigators were unable to locate any part of the wreckage or the pilot.
Because no debris or remains were recovered from the site, the specific sequence of events leading up to the impact cannot be reconstructed. The incident occurred under circumstances that suggest the flight may have been operating illegally at the time of the accident.
Findings
Official investigations concluded that the exact cause of the crash could not be established. This lack of determination is due to the absence of physical evidence and the failure to recover the aircraft from the lake.
