Missing Ohio Plane: More Human Remains Found in Lake Erie

CLEVELAND, OH - More human remains have been pulled from Lake Erie and are believed to be related to the plane that went missing two weeks ago, investigators said on Thursday. DNA testing is underway to determine the identities of the remains. One male was pulled from the lake and identified on Friday, though investigators are not releasing an identity.

Yesterday, recovery operations also found significant portions of the missing Cessna 525 plane that went missing two weeks ago. Included in the recovery were a wing of the plane, metal covers of the engine, a box that records mechanical information from the plane and other portions of the Cessna 525.

Operations continue today. Divers are in the water and are continuing to find debris related to the aircraft. Sonar is being used to guide diving efforts at the bottom of the lake.

The plane was carrying six people, three children and three adults. One of the passengers was John Fleming, the CEO and President of Columbus-based Superior Beverage Group. The Fleming family recently held funeral services for John.

Yesterday, the National Transportation Safety Board said the cockpit voice recorder inside the Cessna 525 airplane that went missing Dec. 29 recorded the entire flight. Investigators with the NTSB have not revealed what is on the recording, or why the plane went missing.

Investigators will listen to the recording and complete a transcript of the flight, cleveland.com reports. NTSB says they will release more information later in their investigation.
