  Post-Tribune (IN) April 16, 1993 CRASH VICTIMS FOUND ABOUT 1,000 FT. FROM AIRPORT Author: Frank Wiget, Staff writer Dateline: RENSSELAER The search for two Jasper County businessmen whose single-engine plane was overdue here Wednesday night ended tragically about 8 a.m. Thursday. Their bodies and the wrecked plane were spotted in a field west of Jasper County Airport. Plane owner and pilot Robert Kinsell, 64, of Remington, and Roger Kohlhagen, 44, of DeMotte were killed. Jim Steinkamp, Jasper County Airport manager, said a Jasper County policeman spotted the wreckage near a tree line about 1,000 feet west of the airport. Jasper County Deputy Coroner Eric Jackson said an autopsy will be conducted on Kinsell to see if a health problem could have been a factor. Jackson said they were flying with poor visibility, including rain and some fog. Kinsell and Kohlhagen both suffered massive head injuries, he said. The plane hit the ground at a 45-degree angle and both men were thrown from the plane, Jackson said. There also was a small fire. Services are pending at Stitz Funeral Home in Remington for Kinsell, whose family owns Silver Lane Hybrid Seed Co. in Remington. The corn seed business was started by Kinsell's father and is presently run by his son, Steve, Jackson said. Kinsell, a veteran pilot, headed the Jasper County Aviation Board and was part owner of the Days Inn in Remington. Kohlhagen was president and owner of Remington Investments Inc., a former manager of the Roselawn branch of Kentland Bank, and a former member of the North Newton School Board, Jackson said. Services for Kohlhagen are pending at Jackson Funeral Chapel in Rensselaer. Indiana State Police Sgt. Pat King said Ruth Ann Kohlhagen contacted state police investigator William Kruger of DeMotte, a friend of the family, about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday. Kohlhagen told Kruger her husband and Kinsell were supposed to arrive at the Jasper County Airport about 8 p.m. Wednesday and she hadn't heard from them. The men on a business trip left from Tompkinsville, Ky., about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, King said. At about 7 p.m., Kinsell made the last radio contact, which was with the Terre Haute airport tower stating he was flying near Bedford in south central Indiana.. Steinkamp said a search for the plane began late Wednesday, but it was suspended because of rain and poor visibility.
