Wreckage From 2001 Accident Found On California Peak

Seven Year-Old Plane Mystery Solved

The wreckage of a Piper Cherokee that went missing in 2001 has been discovered in California by San Bernardino County Sheriffs deputies on routine patrol.

The Victorville Daily Press reports that debris found near Lytle Creek by the crew of a helicopter patrol was confirmed to be from N8253W, a 1980 Piper PA-28-181 Archer (file photo of type, shown above) which was rented to 24-year-old Daniel Katz of Mexico City.

Katz departed Perris Airport in Riverside, CA for a trip to Bracket Airport in La Verne on June 3, 2001. He's thought to have been alone.

The plane reportedly crashed onto very steep terrain at about 5,700 feet on the north-facing slope east of Cucamonga Peak. State and county officials and the Civil Air Patrol searched for 17 days after the plane went missing, but didn't spot the brown-and-tan Piper in the surrounding terrain.

Skeletal human remains found within 400 feet of the crash site will undergo identity testing by the coroner.
