Two adults and two girls were killed after a small plane bound for Telluride, Colo., from Scottsdale crashed near Payson, authorities said.
The Cessna 210 crashed with four people onboard, a 31-year-old woman; her 44-year-old husband; and the husband's 12- and 14-year-old daughters from a previous marriage, according to a Scottsdale police report.
The Gila County Sheriff's Office received a call about 9:48 p.m. Monday from the Scottsdale Police Department saying a plane flying from Scottsdale to Telluride was reported overdue and never made it to Colorado, according to Sarah White, chief administrative officer for the sheriff's office.
The family was reported missing by the woman's father about 9:30 p.m. He told Scottsdale police that he was deeply concerned, saying they took the trip every year and always texted or called him when they got in safe, the report said. The father said he texted and called all the family members and heard nothing, police reported.
The man said he was unsure whether they flew the plane or took a car. But the daughters' birth mother later confirmed they took the plane, saying that she received a Snapchat from one of her daughters when they were taking off, according to the police report.
Police reached out to a variety of different airports and learned that the plane had not landed anywhere, the report said.
Deputies, with help from the Arizona Department of Public Safety's Ranger helicopter and the Air Force Civil Air Patrol, pinged a cellphone and located the plane northwest of Washington Park, an area near the city, White said.
The plane crashed under unknown circumstances about 14 miles north of Payson, according to Ian Gregor, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman.
Three of the passengers initially were found, and deputies later located the fourth body, White said.
The names of those killed were not immediately released.
The crash will be investigated by the Sheriff's Office, the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.
