THE ACFT DEPARTED BANGOR UNDER SPECIAL VFR DUR TO LOW CEILINGS. A WITNESS SAW THE ACFT FLY UNDER POWERLINES THAT CROSSED A RIVER AND DISAPPEAR BEHIND TREES. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF AN ACCIDENT. 22 DAY LATER, THE ACFT WAS LOCATED 150 FT SOUTH FROM THE POWERLINES ON THE BOTTOM OF THE RIVER. INSPECTION OF THE WRECKAGE REVEALED GOUGES AND SCRAPES ON THE LANDING GEAR AND PROPELLER.
