The wreckage of the aircraft was discovered at approximately 3:45 a.m. the following morning. It was located in a wooded area near Scarlett Oak Court in Bowie, in close proximity to a residential neighborhood. Forensic analysts from the Maryland State Police Forensic Sciences Division were dispatched to the crash site to process the scene and gather evidence. Investigators are operating under the belief that the aircraft may have been associated with a local flight school in Montgomery County and potentially involved in a training flight.
