Missing family's plane found, bodies inside

PENSACOLA - The wreckage of a plane belonging to a Florida Panhandle family missing since Sept. 14 was found Monday in Mississippi, and officials were attempting to recover and identify bodies found inside.

The tail number confirmed the plane was registered to Kevin Bomback of Molino, said Marie Haberstroh, spokeswoman for the Civil Air Patrol's Mississippi Wing. She said a CAP pilot saw the wreckage in a thickly wooded area about 21/2 miles south of the Magee, Miss., airport.

Bomback's twin-engine Cessna Skymaster took off from Atmore, Ala., late Sept. 14 after Bomback told an airport employee he was getting out ahead of Hurricane Ivan. The plane disappeared from radar a few hours later near Magee, about 40 miles southeast of Jackson, Miss.

Family members in Houston later reported Bomback, his wife, Sherri, and their two children, Alicia, 17, and Brent, 12, missing.
