On May 3, 1992 a twin-engine Cessna 340, tail number N69469, vanished on a routine flight from Yakutat to Anchorage with five men aboard: 44-year-old Scott Frances Roth, Jeffrey Roth, Timothy Thornton, Kent Roth, and Brian Barber. The last recorded contact with air-traffic control had the aircraft at 12,000 feet on an IFR route toward Anchorage; after that transmission all contact ceased and no wreckage was ever found.

The NTSB lists the airplane as missing while flying in instrument conditions and records the probable cause as a missing aircraft due to undetermined causes, with the aircraft presumed destroyed and the five occupants fatally injured. The pilot’s wife later believed she heard him mention 6,000 and icing conditions on air-traffic tapes, but an FBI enhancement could not confirm those words. Without wreckage or further evidence, the exact circumstances remain unknown.

If anyone has information about the flight, the passengers, or sightings from May 3, 1992, please share what is known.
