I just saw this posted to the Charley Project and found this thread trying to search for more information. Who did he tell that he was going to crash his plane? Did no one try to stop him?

Bumping. Would like to have the above questions answered?

Washington county owns this case, if we want answers, we're going to have to ask them to give us some: The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

He was found dead, and a Margaret Sobralske testified. Not sure her relation.

This is excellent! Law enforcement should get this so they can update the crappy picture on NaMus

I didn't see them update the pic so I sent it again. Today they updated his NaMus. I couldn't see any difference so I assume it's on the law enforcement side. But hey, they looked at the case again. Good job @victoriarobinson642
