Lost Pulsar Found: Two Dead

The Kandiyohi (MN) County Sheriff has identified the bodies of a Minnesota man, passenger Roger K. Bertram, 31, of Paynesville and pilot Timothy D. Davenport, 40, of Sisseton (SD), who were in a Pulsar that went down near the small town of Priam (MN) this past Saturday.

The airplane was reported missing Saturday afternoon, prompting a search that stopped at dusk. A resumed search Sunday morning revealed the experimental kit-built Pulsar (file photo) and its two occupants, at about 10:30 in the morning.
