Search ongoing for passenger in NY plane crash

EPHRATAH, N.Y. (AP) — Rescue workers scouring the area in central New York where a volunteer medical flight crashed last week have ended a third day of searching without finding a brain cancer patient who was on the aircraft.

Ephratah Town Supervisor Todd Bradt says the effort to find Frank Amerosa of Utica, N.Y., is scheduled to resume Tuesday. Amerosa is presumed dead.

Amerosa and his wife Evelyn were aboard an Angel Flight on Friday night when the twin-engine aircraft went down.

John Campbell, 70, of Stamford, Conn., was flying the couple back from the Boston area, where Frank Amerosa was being treated for brain cancer, officials and family said.

The bodies of both Campbell and Evelyn Amerosa were recovered from the rural crash site.
