I heard the news when we were at the Loreto airport. My heart goes out to their families.
If you guys goto Playa Armenta please look for clues regarding my father's murder. Things like tire tracks and perhaps footprints. Though I bet the
police ruined that evidence.

Has anyone taken trafking dogs down?? Not sure how traveled the area is, but if they pick up a human scent, they can follow it for miles.
Any update about the search?
Have a Baja Day

Are the BBP still looking? Let's hope the plane went down inland and not at sea. Our prayers for the families waiting for word on their missing
loved ones.

Thanks Mike
Appreciate you keeping us updated . I was really hoping for some sort of closure on this but it could end up being another one of bajas unsolved
mysteries until someone stumbles across something.
The people who make up the Baja Bush Pilots are to be commended for their unselfish contribution of time ,equipment , money and mostly compassion.

Search for missing couple ends in Baja
http://tracypress.com/content/view/5768/2/
21 November 2006
A two-week search of Baja California for a missing Tracy couple has ended without any sign of the downed plane.
Four weeks after a private plane carrying former Tracyites Gary and Peggy Toste Thomas disappeared in a storm over the Baja Peninsula of Mexico, a
search by volunteer pilots has come up empty, ending efforts to find the plane or its occupants.
Jack McCormick, administrator of Baja Bush Pilots, has reported that the final five-day search was officially called off Friday evening after the last
pilot returned to the Mulege, Mexico, airstrip without any sightings over land or water.
McCormick told Peggy Thomas’ father, Joe Toste of Tracy, that last week’s concentrated search by 12 aircraft covered nearly all the territory over a
140-mile stretch of land and the Gulf of California, from south of Mulege north past the Bay of Los Angeles, without finding any trace of the
single-engine Bonanza plane lost in a hurricane Oct. 23.
McCormick reported on the Baja Bush Pilots Web site:
“… Most troubling is that most of those who fly this route, including the Thomases, normally fly up and down the coast over water.”
McCormick told Toste that it could take up to a year for any debris from the plane to wash up on shore. One pilot in last week’s search reported
seeing something in the water of the gulf, but a helicopter pilot making a closer inspection determined it was a canvas sail.
“Sure, this is disappointing not to find anything,” Toste said. “But those Baja Bush Pilots did all they could in two concentrated searches, and we
are thankful for that.”
Toste said he was disappointed the American consulate in Tijuana couldn’t convince the Mexican government to request that U.S. Coast Guard aircraft
join the search.
Gary Thomas, 52, and his wife Peggy Toste Thomas, 45, moved from Tracy to Escalon several years ago. Peggy Thomas’ two children continue to live in
Escalon. Joseph Fagundes, 19, is a student at San Joaquin Delta College, and Samantha Fagundes, 16, attends St. Mary’s High School in Stockton.

Why wouldn't they give permission for Coast Guard assistance. That seems like a slap in the face !

Mike, we are very sorry to hear this about your dear friends/neighbors. Our thoughts go out to their family. The search efforts are to be commended.
What an outstanding group of people!
