David Beveridge, vice president of environmental health & engineering for the organization, said in a statement

There have been no ELT notifications to the United States Coast Guard. Why that has occurred, or why that hasn't occurred is, not something that we're entirely clear about,

#USCG has ended its search for the missing plane after the aircraft was located approx. 34 miles southeast of Nome. 3 individuals were found inside and reported to be deceased."

Typically, you know, if there was a bear attack there would be evidence of it,

he told the outlet

What I found when I was doing my research in the Alaskan Triangle, was that a number of these missing person cases legitimately could not be solved

He said

The US Coast Guard District 17 responded to an aircraft emergency notification from Alaska Rescue Coordination Center at 4:30 p.m. today for a Cessna Caravan that reported to have 10 people aboard,

the USCGAlaska said

They're prepared to be out all night, they will search here until they find them or somebody else finds them. If they don't find anything, we'll probably rally another crew to go and help."

Staff at Bering Air is working hard to gather details, get emergency assistance, search and rescue going,

Mr Olson said

We are currently doing an active ground search from Nome and from White Mountain and have as much up to date information on the event as possible. Due to weather and visibility, we are limited on air search at the current time,
