Megan Elizabeth Casey, 19, of Powell, Ohio, disappeared on December 29, 2016, after boarding a private Cessna Citation 525 at Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland with her father, Brian Casey, and the Fleming family. The airplane vanished from radar about three minutes after takeoff, roughly two miles out over Lake Erie. Debris including a bag washed ashore in the days after the crash, and search operations by the U.S. Coast Guard and others confirmed the aircraft went into the lake.

An NTSB investigation later identified pilot spatial disorientation and fatigue as the likely causes of the accident. Remains of some passengers were recovered, but Megan’s were not; she is presumed to have died in the crash. Megan had been a freshman nursing student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a Summa Cum Laude graduate of Olentangy Liberty High School, and was remembered for her commitment to working with children and a future in neonatal nursing.
