PANAMA CITY, PANAMA — The bodies of two Americans and the Panamanian pilot of a plane that crashed over the weekend were found Tuesday in Panama’s mountains, officials said. A teenage girl survived.

California businessman Michael Klein, 37, pilot Edwin Lasso and one of two American girls traveling with Klein were found dead, said Roberto Rolando Rodriguez, a spokesman for Panama’s air security agency.

A second girl survived the crash, Rodriguez said, but it was not immediately clear whether the survivor was Klein’s 13-year-old daughter Talia or her 12-year-old friend Francesca Lewis.

The plane had been missing since Sunday when it lost contact with controllers.
