Incident Overview
Description
All occupants were killed when their aircraft impacted terrain and burned on a wooded hillside in the Tuzant n municipality in Mexico. A photo from the scene of the accident shows a burned wreck of an aircraft with a white tail fin, likely of a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan. Local media state that the white coloured aircraft carried the registration mark N149CD. This number also belongs to a U.S. Cessna 208B, which has been seen active in California after the accident date. A reasonable explanation could be that drug traffickers used an aircraft with a fake id, belonging to a similar model aircraft. There have been multiple similar cases in 2018. In the remains of the aircraft at least eight drums were found with a capacity of 20 liters each.
