SNOW HILL -- Authorities have identified the couple killed in a small plane crash in North Carolina.

Greene County Sheriff Lemmie Smith said Friday that Mark Sobel and wife, Joan Wilson, were killed when their plane went down in a farm field several hundred feet from a residential area near Snow Hill, located about 20 miles southwest of Greenville. Sobel and Wilson were both 56.

Smith said the couple listed Estero, Fla., as their home address, but were flying to their home in Connecticut when the crash occurred.
