Divers spotted the wreckage of a small private plane that crashed last week off Malibu. They said it appeared that only one body was in the plane, which rescuers were attempting to recover. It was believed that two men perished when the single-engine Piper Warrior crashed into the ocean Thursday night. The pilot, Roger Amiram, 23, of Burbank, and a passenger, Laurie Thuer, 21, of Simi Valley, were rescued by a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter. Still missing were passengers John Harris, 28, of Northridge, and Mathew Frey, 22, of Canoga Park.
