A student pilot and his flight instructor have been missing for nearly two weeks after their plane took off from a California island in overcast conditions.Woodland Hills, California insurance broker Edmond Haronian, 50, and flight instructor Jason Glazier, 50, went missing on May 28 after their plane took off on a return flight from Catalina Island. Authorities confirmed to
CBS Los Angeles that the men did not file a flight plan.
The aircraft departed Catalina Island Airport on Saturday afternoon, but failed to make it back to Van Nuys Airport, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman told the
Los Angeles Times.
Haronian's family is offering $150,000 for information that leads to his body and $250,000 if Haronian is found alive.
"We would like to have closure," Haronian's brother, Edwin Haronian, told
ABC 7. "And we would like to accept it if we find some clue that it actually crashed."
The family said they had nearly given up hope until they found photos Haronian posted on Facebook showing that he had reached Catalina.
Comment: How is it that "nothing points in the direction of bullying" when a young girl is publicly humiliated to the extent that she commits suicide?! Violence against women and girls has become an allowed behavior of pathological individuals from pathological institutions. These types feel no shame, as demonstrated by the ex-boyfriend's comments above, but it is a shame on all of society to see such regular cruelty.
