TELLURIDE, Colo. (September 10, 2009)--Human remains found on a mountain in southwest Colorado may be those of a Dallas pilot whose plane crashed three years ago, authorities say.

San Miguel County Sheriff Bill Masters said he believes the body is that of Mark Cochran, 27, who was missing and presumed dead after plane crash on Sept. 15, 2006 on Wilson Peak.

The body was spotted from a helicopter Tuesday and has been taken to a medical examiner to confirm the identity.

Cochran and three passengers were aboard the 1965 Beech Debonair when it crashed on the 14,017-foot mountain.

The bodies of all three passengers were found within three days of the crash.

Deputies believe Cochran's body was buried by an avalanche triggered by the crash and have been monitoring the area.
