Police have confirmed that a husband and wife were found dead after a plane crash in Arkansas earlier this week.
The couple, identified as Ivan and Adina Williams by family members, were from Pryor, Okla,, according to KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City.
Ivan Williams was the CEO of Williams Construction Company in Pryor.
Rescue teams had been looking for a single-engine plane since it disappeared from radar on Oct. 21. The Civil Air Patrol said that the plane was located the next day in western Arkansas.
"The wreckage was scattered over a couple hundred yards. They crashed into a wooded area. It would have been really hard to spot from the air, because it was in small pieces," said Glenn Wheeler, with Tri-County Search and Rescue, according to the Associated Press.
The couple had traveled to Alabama for a weekend football trip and were going back to Claremore when they crashed.
Police found the couple dead at the scene of the crash. They were the only people onboard the plane, according to the Civil Air Patrol.
"What Ivan and his family have given this community, the vision he's had for this community--you look at it, it's amazing," said Jimmy Tramel, the Mayor of Pryor, according to the Associated Press. "He was always there, greet you with a handshake, greet you with a smile. When you saw Adina, same way."
Williams supposedly notified air traffic control that the plane was "experiencing problems" and losing altitude while going around 170 mph.
He purchased the plane just last month, according to News on 6 in Oklahoma.
