Possible human remains found in search for plane that carried Valley natives

CLEVELAND — A broadcast report says a passenger seat of the Cessna plane that went missing over Lake Erie more than a week ago has been found containing possible human remains.

The report came from television station WKYC out of Cleveland. At 7 p.m. tonight, the Cleveland mayor’s office of communications released a statement that the medical examiner had collected debris for review and analysis to determine whether human remains had been found.

Search-and-recovery operations will be suspended Saturday and Sunday due to weather and water conditions. Recovery operations will resume Monday.

Earlier today, authorities overseeing the search-and-recovery operation for the plane carrying the John T. Fleming family and friends confirmed that crews recovered “significant” pieces of the wreckage.
