FOUR PEOPLE MISSING
Plane wreckage found in mountain pass
Authorities in Chino, Calif., on Saturday found the wreckage of a plane that matches the description of an aircraft carrying four people that disappeared last weekend.
The wreckage was found near Banning Pass, north of Interstate 10, about one mile northwest of the last known position of a six-seat Cessna that departed from Bermuda Dunes Airport near Indio last weekend, said Civil Air Patrol Capt. Andrea Binder.
Binder wouldn't confirm if it was the missing plane until rescue crews are able to reach the crash site today.
Authorities didn't begin their search for the plane until the daughter of passenger Alvin Baker, 79, reported him missing Wednesday.
Also on the plane were its owners, Michael Bybyk, 75, and Joyce Bybyk, 70, of Fullerton, and Gail Pugel, 68, of Ontario.
KODIAK ISLAND, Alaska
One killed, one rescued in fishing boat accident
Coast Guard officials in Anchorage, Alaska, said one man died when a fishing boat capsized in choppy seas off Kodiak Island.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Richard Brahm said a second man on board the boat survived and was taken to a Kodiak hospital early Saturday afternoon. His condition was not immediately available.
The names of the men were not being released until their families were notified.
The boat capsized about 200 yards offshore. It washed ashore at Mill Bay, north of Kodiak City.
Brahm said authorities were alerted to the site after the overturned vessel sent out an electronic locating signal around 11:30 a.m.
