State Police Sgt. W. F. Donohoe of the South Charleston Detachment said cases have been reported in Logan, Huntington, Hinton and Alum Creek, in Lincoln County. In addition to money, Donohoe said the con men allegedly raped an elderly woman at Logan.

State Aeronautics Director Chet Moulton said the pilot apparently was unfamiliar with tie wild, primitive country. "He came in high and hot-that's fast," Moulton said. "He hit a knoll and bounced. He gave it the throttle and tried to pull out for another approach." Moulton said there is only one way to go if 'a pilot does not land on the strip after making his approach--that is up Crooked Creek, a stream that rises fast into a narrow, steep canyon. Moulton said there is no room for a plane to turn around in the canyon.

He said the pilot discovered this about five miles upstream on Crooked Creek from the ranch airstrip, tried to turn and. then crashed. "If they'd have used some schooled pilot who had known lie strip it wouldn't have happened," Moulton said. It was the second air tragedy involving Mrs. Kennedy's family.
