THE TWO ATP RATED PLTS WERE EN ROUTE BACK TO THEIR HOME BASE ARPT FLYING ON AN IFR FLT PLAN IN ACTUAL INSTRUMENT WX CONDITIONS. COMMUNICATIONS WITH ATC CONTROLLERS WAS NORMAL. DURING A NIGHT LOCALIZER APCH INTO MILLVILLE MUNICIPAL ARPT, AN ATC SPECIALIST OBSERVED THE ACFT PASSING THROUGH THE LOCALIZER TRACK AND ISSUED A VECTOR FOR RE-INTERCEPTION. THE ACFT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY OBSERVED TRACKING INBOUND ON COURSE. THE PLT REPORTED CROSSING THE OM. THIS WAS THE LAST TRANSMISSION HEARD FROM THE PLT AND WAS ROUTINE. THE ACFT CRASHED INTO A WOODED AREA JUST BEYOND THE OM AND WAS DESTROYED IN A POST IMPACT FIRE. POST ACCIDENT EXAMINATION OF THE WRECKAGE REVEALED EVIDENCE TO INDICATE THE LEFT ENG WAS PRODUCING LESS PWR THAN THE RIGHT ENG AT IMPACT.
