       The victim died after being struck by an airplane propeller, as
       the plane landed in a secluded pasture in Goliad County, Texas
       on March 17, 1986. The unidentified man was hit and fatally
       injured by a stolen Cessna when the pilot apparently failed to
       properly recover from a bounced landing and broke a landing gear
       wheel. Local authorities believe the man's body was then
       transported about four miles and thrown into the river and the
       aircraft deliberately burned. The aircraft was reported stolen
       by it owner on 1/29/86.

       Body recovered from San Antonio River. It is believed the
       decedent was using a flash light to guide a plane onto a caliche
       road on the Spires Ranch located 14 mi S/SW of Goliad (3 mi N of
       US HWY 59). It is believed the landing gear (wheels) hit the
       decedeent (piece of body tissue was found on an area near the
       wheel). The body was found 300 yds from a bridge located 5 mi
       from the plane site, in which an empty plane was found burned
       the previous week.
