SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. -

Authorities believe wreckage found on a mountainside in the San Bernardino National Forest is the remains of a plane missing for seven years.

The disappearance of 24-year-old pilot Daniel Katz on June 3, 2001, spurred one of the most extensive and high-tech searches in the area's history.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Arden Wiltshire said Monday the tail number on the Piper Archer II confirms it was the plane Katz rented.

The wreckage was found on a steep mountainside north of Rancho Cucamonga near Lytle Creek.

Wiltshire says fragments of human remains also were found near the debris on Sunday and will be tested to determine the identity.

Katz was flying back to a La Verne airport from Perris after a skydiving trip had been canceled.

Definitely remember that day. Cloudy, cool, and jumps were on hold most of the day. The search was extensive with the Perris staff being interviewed since that was the last place he'd been seen.

Sad to hear they located wreckage, but glad to know his family can put a final chapter to rest at last.
