Four Dead In Iowa Accident

Family Confirms One Victim Is Altoona Firefighter

The Lawson family was flying home for the holidays. Instead, what's left of the family now mourns four people killed when their single-engine Piper went down near Brooklyn (IA) Wednesday.

Family members confirm Larry Lawson, 55, died in Wednesday night's accident. Lawson had been a volunteer firefighter in Altoona since about 1975. Other victims include Lawson's daughter, Lisa Lawson, 25, and his brother, Danny Lawson, 55, who was the pilot. The fourth person was Lisa Lawson's friend.

The aircraft left suburban Chicago (IL) at around 4:30 CST Wednesday afternoon, headed for Ankeny Regional Aiport in Iowa.

Lawson family members reported it missing at about 1:00 CST Thursday morning. The Civil Air Patrol and the Iowa State Patrol set out immediately to search for the aircraft.

The snow-covered wreckage was reportedly spotted at around nine Thursday morning by a farmer in Poweshiek County.

The NTSB is investigating.
