Debris and an oil slick were spotted in the vicinity on Thursday morning, according to multiple police agencies at the scene.

Missing are Banica Richard Robinson and Marcson Ngwa, according to the Coast Guard.

The plane took off from Martin State Airport in Baltimore around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday night and was last seen practicing touch-and-go landings near the Ocean City Municipal Airport around 6:15 p.m

The four-seater Cessna 172S had two people onboard and was later reported overdue at Martin, Hodges said.

Hodges identified the plane’s tail number as 615JA. That corresponds to a plane registered to Middle River Aviation, a flight school in Baltimore, according to the Federal Aviation Administration’s website.
