Police: Crashed plane apparently identified

NEPTUNE, N.J. (AP) - July 6, 2008 State Police Sgt. Stephen Jones said Sunday that the wreckage appeared to match a small RV-7 plane missing out of the airport in Allaire.

But Jones said nothing had been recovered from the crash site to link it to the missing plane -- or its unaccounted for owner, Richard Jahns of Point Pleasant Beach.

Jones said Jahns was believed to be the only person on board the plane when it took off from Allaire.

A small plane crashed at about 7 p.m. Saturday near the New Jersey shore.

A phone call to a number listed for Jahns wasn't immediately returned Sunday.
