San Bernardino, CA - Authorities believe wreckage found on a mountainside in the San Bernardino National Forest is the remains of a plane missing for seven years.
The disappearance of 24-year-old pilot Daniel Katz on June 3, 2001, a 24-year-old resident of Mexico and a former Israeli paratrooper spurred one of the most extensive and high-tech searches in the area's history.
Sheriff's spokeswoman Arden Wiltshire said Monday the tail number on the Piper Archer II confirms it was the plane Katz rented.
The wreckage was found on a steep mountainside north of Rancho Cucamonga near Lytle Creek.
Wiltshire says fragments of human remains also were found near the debris on Sunday and will be tested to determine the identity.
Katz was flying back to a La Verne airport from Perris after a skydiving trip had been canceled.
His mother and his grandfather, Marcos Katz, are Mexico City businessman. Marcos Katz owns several manufacturing companies in Mexico.

Being a [moderate] Conspiracist, my question is, how come NASA was involved in the search of the plane! And if they were, how come the plane was not spotted earlier. Only by coincidence. And through low-tech methods!!!
