Incident Overview and Search Efforts A twin-engine aircraft departed from Dallas during daylight hours and subsequently disappeared without a trace somewhere within the state of Texas. The aircraft was carrying two occupants at the time of the incident. Search and rescue (SAR) operations were initiated immediately following the loss of contact. However, after several days of searching, the operations were eventually suspended. No trace of the aircraft or either of the two occupants was found during the search period. ## Official Findings The official investigation concluded that the cause of the accident could not be determined. This finding was based on the fact that the wreckage of the aircraft was never located.
