Episode Details

The National Transportation Safety Boards preliminary report on the fatal plane crash at Marana Regional Airport reveals that Chris Sheafe, a key figure on Tucsons Rio Nuevo Board, and his wife Jacque, were killed when their single-engine Piper crashed while attempting to land. The report indicates that Chris aborted the first landing and, during the second approach, the plane hit the runway with insufficient distance, causing it to bounce, slow down, veer off, and ultimately burst into flames. Meanwhile, Chriss son Adam, who pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and mutilating a body, has asked prosecutors to drop the death penalty in his case following the loss of his parents. The full story on both fronts is still unfolding.
