Searchers have discovered a small plane that crashed in Lake Huron 17 years ago. State police say they also found the remains of a passenger who had been missing since then.
The remains were identified as H. Brooke Stauffer Jr., who was 56 and lived in Washington, D.C.
State police say a private company, Great Lakes Search & Recovery, resumed search efforts last October at the request of family members.
Earlier this month, the search team discoverd the plane's wreckage.
The plane departed Mackinac Island for a small town in Michigan's Lower Peninsula in August 2007.
