    • The plane was on its way to Cedar City, Utah, when it disappeared off radar at 7:08 a.m.

    Gregor says search crews found the burned wreckage Tuesday afternoon in a mountainous area about 20 miles west of St. George, Utah.

    Authorities do not know the pilot’s identity. They said the skies were clear at the time of the crash.

    The plane is registered to a Las Vegas company, Logan Investments of Nevada, according to the FAA’s Web site.

    The Web site lists the company’s address as 7000 W. Sahara Ave., the site of the Acura of Las Vegas dealership.
