SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Investiga
tors with the National Transportation
Safety Board (NTSB) were at the
scene of a plane crash Sunday, hunt
ing for clues in the rubble of a crash
that killed two people a day earlier.
Jason Ragogna, a Dallas NTSB in
vestigator, said it could take up to
three days to complete their initial
search of the site just north of the
San Antonio Airport.
He said they were looking at pilot
error, mechanical failure and weath
er conditions as possible reasons for
the accident. Witnesses still were be
ing interviewed as well.
‘‘They’re keeping an open mind
about this,” airport spokesperson
Lisa Burkhardt-Worley said.
She said investigators were hav
ing trouble identifying the man and
woman killed in the crash because
of the severity of their injuries.

Bay City police and the Texas
Rangers are investigating the Dec.
19, 1998, death of 86-year-old
Laura Ware, who was under the
care of Dr. Robert Weitzel, Detec
tive Sgt. Andrew Lewis told the
Houston Chronicle.
Weitzel, a 43-year-old resident of
Bay City, was arrested last Septem
ber and charged with killing five el
derly patients with large doses of
morphine at a hospital in Layton,
Utah, in a 16-day period spanning
late December 1995 to early Janu
ary 1996.
Matagorda General Hospital hired
Weitzel in February 1998 as medical
director of the senior psychiatric care
unit despite a history of disciplinary
problems with medical boards in
Utah, Texas and California.
Hospital administrator Wick
Baker said the hospital was aware
he had surrendered his license to
practice medicine in California fol
lowing an investigation into his
misconduct, and also that Weitzel
had been sanctioned by the Texas
State Board of Medical Examin
ers, but it was unaware he was un
