Hi all,
I just talked to the State Police and he said that the boats were already in the water this morning, looking for the plane. They are using side band radar and searching about a 2-1/2 mile radius, at about 100-plus foot depth.
Our Pastor was up on Mackinac Island Monday and Tuesday (on vacation) and stopped by the airport to talk to the Manager. He showed Pastor the weather reports from Friday, which showed "haze with visibility 1-3/4 miles." He thinks that if/when she ran into the fog and discovered it was worse than she thought, that she may have tried to turn around and go back. He said if she turned toward Cheboygan, she would have a horizon; if she turned left toward the lake, she would have lost her horizon and become disoriented. I know Karen was good with her instruments but if she was flying as low as 500 to 1000 feet, she wouldn't have had enough room to maneuver.
State Police say they are working with Univ. of Mich. and their depth and drift pattern charts to locate the plane. The location of the debris has been consistent with eye-witness reports and their charts. This has pinpointed the area they are searching for the plane. I will call with any further news.
Love to you all,
Kathleen
