The airplane departed approximately 1500. The airplane was reported missing on the evening of April 7, 2005, by concerned family members. An ALNOT (search and rescue alert notice) was issued at 2315 on April 7. The ALNOT was cancelled on April 18 and the search suspended. On August 5, 2005, two hikers discovered the airplane wreckage on the south wall of a canyon at an approximate elevation of 7,960 feet msl. The main wreckage came to rest inverted between several rocks and trees. The wreckage consisted of the fuselage, empennage, both the right and left wing assemblies, and the engine. The propeller was located approximately 40 feet directly above the main wreckage at an elevation of approximately 8,020 feet msl. An examination of the airplane's systems revealed no anomalies.
