MAHNOMEN, Minn. (AP) — The wreckage of a small plane has been found in Clearwater County after several days of ground and air searches for a missing pilot from Farmington.
Authorities say a search team from Mahnomen and Clearwater counties, as well as the State Patrol and White Earth police will head to the remote, wooded site at daybreak Wednesday. The area is about 20 miles south of Mahnomen.
Mahnomen County Sheriff Doug Krier says a private pilot from Walker spotted something Tuesday about 4:30 p.m. near the Mahnomen County line. He picked up a sheriff’s deputy and they flew back to the site and confirmed the plane’s wreckage.
Pilot Andrew Lindberg was flying from Lakeville to Hallock Friday to go deer hunting when his Piper Cherokee disappeared.
