NECA Standards Executive Director and Fiancee Missing

摘要

At approximately 2 P.M. on friday, Aug. 24, 2007, National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) Standards Executive Director Brooke Stauffer and his fiancee, Karen Dodds, went missing as she flew her small, single-engine plane over Lake Huron.rnTheir flight path was to take them from Mackinac Island, Mich., to Bad Axe, Mich., to visit some of Dodds' family, but the plane never arrived.rnThe U.S. Coast Guard, Civil Air Patrol Search and Rescue (CAP), Royal Canadian Coast Guard and Michigan State Police (MSP) were dispatched immediately to the area to conduct a search. Family members called Brooke and Karen's cell phones, but the calls went directly to voicemail, which generally means the phones are out of service or turned off. CAP dispatched a ground team to search for the plane's electronic "ping" that would have been activated by an impact. However, the signal cannot be tracked if it is under water.
