CHATTAHOOCHEE, Fla. AP – A road atlas and campground directory discovered in the airplane cockpit of a daredevil Indiana financial manager helped lead authorities to the remote North Florida campsite where he was finally arrested.
In an affidavit supporting the federal charges filed Wednesday against 38-year-old Marcus Schrenker, investigators who searched the empty cockpit after the plane crashed said they found a 50-state U.S. road atlas with the Alabama and Florida pages removed. They also found a national campground directory with the same two states’ listings torn out.
