UPDATE:

We've just spoken to Lincoln County Sheriff Roby Bowe who confirms CEO of Stinger Welding, Inc. Carl Douglas died after his plane crashed last night. His passenger, John Smith, a driver for the company also died in the crash. The men were returning from Arizona. The Sheriff's Department plans to recover both bodies as soon as weather permits.

LIBBY - According to The Western News, the small private plane belonging to a missing company CEO has been found, but there's no confirmation whether bodies were also found.

A Facebook post from The Western News says Douglas' plane was found in William's Gulch, on top of Swede Mountain, with an intact tail section but otherwise very damaged.
