STORY TOOLS 
More from StateA search party headed to a rugged mountain pass Sunday to pick through what may be the debris of a small plane that vanished a week earlier with four people aboard, authorities said.
The wreckage was discovered Saturday near Banning Pass, about 90 miles east of Los Angeles. The crash site was 1 1/2 miles northwest of the last known position of a six-seat Cessna that left an Inland Empire airport last weekend, Civil Air Patrol Capt. Andrea Binder said.
Authorities didn't begin their search for the plane until the daughter of passenger Alvin Baker, 79, reported him missing Wednesday.
