LEBANON, Ind. (AP) – Authorities say a small plane that went missing nine days ago after taking off from an Indianapolis airport has been found in a field 22 miles northwest and the pilot is presumed dead inside.

Civil Air Patrol Lieutenant Colonel Tim Turner says the two-seater plane created a crater when it struck the ground and only the tail is visible. The 58-year-old pilot, Glenn Foy, left Eagle Creek Airport on April 3rd.

Indianapolis police issued an alert for Foy on Saturday and authorities originally thought radar showed the plane had been near Muncie. But Turner says that turned out to be a different plane. Turner says cell phone data led to a search near Lebanon Saturday night. The wreck was found Sunday morning. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
