Eau Claire (WQOW) - The search is on for a missing plane, with a local woman on board. The Eau Claire woman, along with the pilot and his wife, who are from Southern Wisconsin, were due at the Eau Claire airport early Sunday morning.

They were coming from Florida, and officials say the plane was last seen on radar in a remote area of Missouri. That's where the Civil Air Patrol has search planes and ground teams canvassing the area for any signs of the seven-passenger plane.

WQOW News 18 spoke with the daughter of the Eau Claire woman Monday. She didn't want us to identify her, or her mother.  She tells us her mother is a businesswoman, who went down to Florida to look at some land and a plane that were for sale.
