A plane crash in Indiana late Thursday left no survivors, police said.
The exact location was near 500 West and 600 South roads, just north of Rossville.
Officials said at least three passengers were on board the small plane.
Sources told the broadcaster that flight data indicated the plane was between 18,000 and 28,000 feet when it vanished off the radar.
Shortly after, multiple people called 911, reporting a plane crash.
The plane originally took off from Eagle Creek Airport in Indianapolis at 7:21 p.m.
Flight records indicated it was headed to Green Bay-Austin Straubel International Airport.
On Friday, two of those killed in the crash were identified as businessman John Pagel and his son-in-law Steve Witcpalek.
Titletown Brewing Co. Chief Operating Officer Jim Kratowicz, who helped the family set up shop in Green Bay, said the death is a tragedy.
“We liked the whole farm-to-table concept, but John’s reputation was highly respected. It’s one of the reasons we started doing business with them,” Kratowicz said.
“But it was also a great personal fit. It’s a really, really a good family and John was a great friend to us. Personally and professionally, this is a tragedy.”
The plane was owned by Ponderosa Aviation, which has the same address as Pagel’s Ponderosa Dairy.
