Search Resumes for 2 Simi Valley Fliers Missing for a Week
A search resumed Sunday for a Simi Valley couple whose small plane disappeared on a flight from Arizona last week, but there was still no trace of the missing aircraft or its occupants.
Annie Cadoret, 48, and her husband, Dollard, 55, left Bullhead City in their single-engine Piper Cherokee 140 on April 17. They were due at Whiteman Airport in Pacoima later that day, authorities said.
Bad weather forced the U.S. Civil Air Patrol to suspend its search four times. On Sunday, 35 aircraft and 100 people working from Fox Airport in Lancaster combed 8,000 square miles between Lancaster and Bullhead City, Air Patrol Maj. Henry Saffold said.
Authorities said they were uncertain whether the plane crashed or made an emergency landing, Saffold said.
The husband and wife are experienced pilots, and it was believed that Annie Cadoret was at the controls when the plane left Arizona, Saffold said.
The search is to resume today over a 4,000-square-mile area, Saffold said.
