Williams said first responders found debris on the ground and in the water before reaching the site. He said no one survived.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Berger said in an email that the wreckage of the Piper PA-32 was found on the Georgia-South Carolina border. She said the plane was headed to the airport in Clemson, South Carolina, when air traffic controllers lost contact with the flight.
She said she did not have information yet on who owned the plane or a possible cause of the crash.
