Missing plane found in S. Illinois

An autopsy is planned for a Pinckneyville man killed when his plane crashed in southern Illinois' Franklin County.

Searchers found the body of 58-year-old Daniel Bradac Senior on Sunday in a heavily wooded area near Benton's airport.

Officials have said Bradac may have left the airport Thursday afternoon. He was reported missing the next day, when searches for him began.

Authorities have said Bradac may have been operating a single-seat experimental airplane not made by a company.

It isn't yet clear what caused the crash.

Authorities say Bradac was piloting a white, single-seat experimental airplane that he may have built himself.
