All 10 people aboard a small plane that went missing and was later discovered crashed in Alaska have been confirmed dead, officials said in a statement.

The Alaska Department of Public Safety said Saturday that all aboard the plane — nine passengers and one pilot — died. The plane had been traveling from Unalakleet to Nome on Thursday when it went missing. It was found crashed on Friday.

The Alaska State Troopers positively identified all 10 victims on the plane after they were recovered and brought to Nome, Alaska DPS said in a statement.

The dead were identified as pilot Chad Antill, 34, of Nome; Liane Ryan, 52, of Wasilla; Donnell Erickson, 58, of Nome; Andrew Gonzalez, 30, of Wasilla; Kameron Hartvigson, 41, of Anchorage; Rhone Baumgartner, 46, of Anchorage; Jadee Moncur, 52, of Eagle River; Ian Hofmann, 45, of Anchorage; Talaluk Katchatag, 34, of Unalakleet; and Carol Mooers, 48; of Unalakleet.

At a news conference earlier Saturday, National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy said the first priority of recovery efforts was recovering the victims. Then, the NTSB — which was investigating the crash — and responding agencies would work on recovering the wreckage.
