Louisville pilot goes missing while flying near the Bahamas

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Louisville pilot has gone missing while flying near the Bahamas.

Christopher Moore, 59, went missing while approaching Marsh Harbor on Sunday, according to his wife Stacye Love. He flew out of Sebatian, Fla. in a single-engine Bristell plane and was scheduled to land at Marsh Harbour Airport.

Love said her husband's plane disappeared on the approach. She said for some reason, his signal failed and wasn't reading on the radar.

"The data wasn't reading for some reason, and that's what has been frustrating," Love said. "The technology that would lead us to where he is failed him."

Love said the U.S. Coast Guard and Bahamas forces searched an area near Grand Bahama on Sunday and Monday, but haven't found any signs of the plane or Moore. Love believes the crews searched the wrong area.

"The search was called off yesterday afternoon much to our chagrin and frustration," Love said.

According to Love, Moore was heard on the radio about five miles out of Marsh Harbour Airport by three other pilots. Love has asked for additional help from U.S. officials.

"I wish we would get more resources and help," Love said. "There is no sign of that plane and it's very shallow waters, it tells me that we are missing something because we should be able to find him."

Moore has been flying for nine years. Love called him a "very experienced" pilot.
