Company spokesman Jim Gregory said searchers will continue to look along the shoreline.<\/p>\n

Pilot Patrick Coyle, flight nurse Stacie Rae Morse and flight paramedic Margaret Langston were Guardian Flight employees based in Juneau. Morse was pregnant with a child she planned to name Delta Rae.<\/p>\n

Searchers earlier found most of the plane <\/a>wreckage<\/a>, including the cockpit voice recorder, over a large debris field in Frederick Sound.<\/p>\n

The King Air 200 disappeared Jan. 29 flying to pick up a patient in the Southeast community of Kake. The pilot, flight nurse and flight paramedic were Guardian Flight employees.<\/p>\n

The Coast Guard searched hundreds of square miles before suspending its search Jan. 31.<\/p>\n
