It would appear that the plane was long since found. The Aviation safety link below shows that the wreckage was found on April 1oth, I am assuming of 1961. Question, why was he crouising at 8500 or so with terrain around of at least 10 grand, and then wanting to go lower because of icing. Something stinks here.
The AV Safety link seems to be the only place with the information the wreckage was found few days later. Others seem to cite that as the source. And their is no source listed on the AV Safety site for where they got that information.
Long story short - who the heck knows if this was the first "find" or not.

"their is no source"... what an idiot.
Source or not, I find it guard to believe that that many people would not be looked for, especially with several celebrities like the football players on board.
improperly set altimeter
Something happened but I doubt we'll ever know.
We'll never know what happened but given the time period, sparse radio control, technology and flight into terrain I am leaning toward improperly set altimeter.
