Authorities have released the names of two more people believed to have been aboard the twin-engine plane that crashed into the ocean Tuesday night with six aboard on a flight from Van Nuys Airport to Santa Barbara.

Rick Alsop has been identified as the probable pilot and Greg Feedman as the probable co-pilot, said U.S. Coast Guard spokeswoman Liz Brannan. Their ages and hometowns were not known, she said.

So far, the only body recovered during ocean search efforts has been that of Donald Cohen, 32, of North Hollywood, a record promoter. Also missing and presumed to have been aboard the plane are Shannin Schmidt, 39, of Studio City, and Stephen Ortolano, 31, and Diane Songer, 34, both of Las Vegas.
