non-pilot lands airplane

Aero-News Propwash had a story this morning about a family that took
off from Laconia NH airport, whereupon the father/pilot was overcome
by CO fumes. His wife was likewise knocked out. The daughter, a
non-pilot, contacted the unicom and brought the plane back to LCI for
an apparently successful landing.

I saw this on the accident reports... pretty good, i think, to land a PA-46
with no experience.

So who was the crew and who was the passenger?

And yes, impressive. I hope she goes on to get certified (certificated?).
