An Indiana businessman, whose financial management companies were under investigation crashed his small plane to runaway. The plane crashed in a Florida panhandle swamp.


Tom Britt received the e-mail Monday night from neighbor Marcus Schrenker. Authorities believe Schrenker let his plane crash in the Florida panhandle and apparently parachuted to safety.

His single-engine plane continued flying on autopilot and eventually crashed late Sunday more than 200 miles away in a swampy area of the Florida Panhandle, authorities believe.

Authorities believe Schrenker was last seen Monday morning in Childersburg, Ala., just south of Birmingham, when a man using his Indiana driver’s license told police that he’d been in a canoe accident.
