Report: Passenger In Fatal Plane Crash Was Acting Erratically
OXFORD, Conn. -- There are new mysteries in a 2004 plane crash in New
York that killed two Connecticut men.
A new federal report says the passenger, 40-year-old Michael Keilty,
of Newtown, was acting strangely in the days before the crash. It also
says he was under FBI investigation over millions of dollars he owed
to lenders, and that he tried twice without success to buy life
insurance policies on himself just before the flight.
The plane crashed in July of 2004 near the airport in Ticonderoga, New
York.
Keilty and the pilot, 76-year-old Milton Marshall, of Oxford, were
found dead in the burned wreckage. The report also says a seven-shot
gun clip missing two bullets was found in the wreckage. Autopsies
couldn't determine whether the men died of injuries from the crash, or
by other means. No equipment or weather problems were reported.
Federal officials expect to release another report and a probable
cause of the crash in four to six months.

Sounds like a movie script. I remember that crash because it was by an
airport that I frequent and my family grumbled about it for a few
days.
Poor pilot if this turns out to be a suicide/murder.
