A small plane recently spotted by sonar at the bottom of a Northern California lake is not the wreck of an aircraft that disappeared into the water after a midair collision in 1965, authorities said Wednesday.
The possibility arose last week when wreckage was spotted by technicians testing sonar equipment at Folsom Lake. Seafloor Systems was able to take clear images of the plane's tail and propeller because California's severe drought has made the lake's water level low. Dive team sergeants from the Placer and El Dorado county sheriff's offices went out with the technicians to obtain better images and they determined it is an airplane that crashed in 1986, the Placer County Sheriff's Office said.Two Native Hawaiian brothers who were convicted in the 1991 killing of a woman visiting Hawaii allege in a federal lawsuit that local police framed them "under immense pressure to solve the high-profile murder" then botched an investigation last year that would have revealed the real killer using advancements in DNA technology.
In one of his first acts after returning to the Oval Office this week, President Trump tasked federal agencies with developing ways to potentially ease prices for U.S. consumers. But experts warn that his administration's crackdown on immigration could both drive up inflation as well as hurt a range of businesses by shrinking the nation's workforce.
