ABERDEEN, S.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The nearly two-week-old search for a missing airplane in northeast South Dakota is over.

The Brown County Sheriff’s Department reports the wreckage of the airplane was found Monday, three miles north of Aberdeen. A single-engine Cessna took off from Aberdeen bound for Oakes, North Dakota, October 9th, but it never arrived.

Since then extensive air and ground searches have been conducted.

F-A-A records indicate the plane was registered to a Hecla, South Dakota man. Authorities have not yet released the identity of the pilot found in the wreckage.
