A Cessna 182 went down near Stanley, Idaho, on Monday, September 12, killing both the pilot and passenger, who are reportedly from the Nampa/Caldwell area.
KIVI-TV reports that the men’s bodies were found among the wreckage around 4:40 p.m. the following day by authorities from the Custer County Sheriff’s Department, the Idaho National Guard, the Civil Air Patrol, and the U.S. Forest Service.

The crash is being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board.
