According to NBC affiliate News 14, 55-year-old Gregory L. Wehr and 55-year-old Candace S. Wehr, husband and wife, were flying back to Madison Municipal Airport from Chicago when their 1968 single engine Cessna crashed in a field near County Road 600 South. Investigators with the Federal Aviation Administration combed the area looking through debris shortly after the crash. One witness stated the plane was engulfed in flames as it fell. "I looked up in the sky and saw a big ball of fire. I just saw it fall straight down and explode as it hit the ground," Becky Puckett said, who lives a mile from the wreckage. "I didn't know what it was. I had no idea. I just saw a big orange circle in the sky and saw it fall." The FAA says it may be weeks before a cause is determined.
