The wreckage of the plane was found by a hiker on the south side of Mount Guyot, which is just west of the Georgia Pass on the Continental Divide by the border of Summit County and Park County.

Search and rescue teams had been searching for the small plane that was carrying a family of four since Saturday.

The plane, a four-seat Cessna 182, was last seen leaving the Steamboat Springs Airport at 8 a.m. Friday, according to Major Mark Young with the Colorado Civil Air Patrol, but never reached its destination.

Family friends identify those on board as Tommy Jacomini, an energy executive from Houston, Texas, his wife Suzie and their children, Tommy, 8, and Vivi, 6.  The family was flying home to their ranch in Brenham, Texas from a vacation in Steamboat Springs.

Young said Jacomini did not file a flight plan. No distress call was received.  And according to the Civil Air Patrol, the Cessna's ELT (emergency locator transmitter) has not been triggered.

The Jacomini family was due to arrive in Texas Friday night. Family members reported them missing Saturday morning.

Longtime friend Charles Wickman said friends and family were holding out hope for a safe return.

“We're all tremendously concerned and as the time drags on... the concern grows,” said Wickman.

Friends say Jacomini was an experienced pilot, trained in aerobatics, with extensive flight hours in mountainous terrain.

But it appears the plane never made it out of Colorado. Radar last indicated the plane at around 11,000 feet, but the nearby mountains are as high as 13,000 feet.
