The pilot departed on a cross-country flight in the experimental, amateur-built airplane but did not arrive at his intended destination and was reported missing. A search of the area did not locate airplane wreckage and was suspended. Almost 3 years after the accident, the wreckage was subsequently located in remote terrain about 11 miles northeast of the flight's intended destination. At that time, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) was not notified that the wreckage was located. In October 2018, an individual reported to the NTSB that he had located the door of the accident airplane. No other wreckage was located. The cause of the accident is undetermined due to the lack of evidence.
Probable Cause: A collision with terrain for undetermined reasons.
