July 1972 - No Clues in Lost Plane With Salt Laker Aboard. SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) A Utah aviation official said today the mystery of a plane that vanished in Washington State with four Salt Lake people aboard may not be solved for a long time and that the search effort by military and civilians was "just fantastic."
The plane carrying Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Silver and Mr. and Mrs. William Ferguson disappeared June 22 on a flight from Vancouver, B.C., to the Seattle-Tacoma Airport. Silver, 48, the pilot, is president of C. W. Silver Co., an electrical contracting in Salt Lake.
"You have to see the search area to believe how difficult it would be to find a plane there," said Douglas Decker, a commissioner on the Utah Aeronautics Board.
Decker and an Idaho aeronautics official, Warren Barry, flew over the Puget Sound area this week. Decker said he went there in an unofficial capacity because Silver was a close friend of his.
The search was suspended after nearly two weeks, during which rescue pilots often had to battle rough and dangerous weather conditions. -The Daily Herald, Provo, Utah, Thursday, July 6, 1972, Page 2.
