This article dated February 2, 1967 told of new snow falling on top of 10-20 foot snow depths in the area of the search. Lt. Hart, according to the Wichita paper, was 26 years old and was flying one of two F-100s out of McConnell Air Force Base when he had disappeared in heavy cloud cover over the mountains.

He left behind a widow, Darlene, and two sons, Brent, age 4, and Todd, age 15 months.

Lt. Hart's remains were never recovered from the site. While memorial ceremonies were held for the family after the wreckage was finally located in mid-July 1967, the crash was so violent searchers could not recover any remains. This mountainside is his place of burial, his final resting-place.
