Cops continue harbor search for missing man By Phil CorSo
It has been weeks since a small plane carrying four people experienced engine trouble and went down in Setauket Harbor near Poquott, but police are still on the lookout for the one man who could not be rescued. The Piper PA-28, which had taken off from Fitchburg, Mass., and was heading for Republic Airport in Farmingdale, went down on the night of Feb. 20. All four people exited the plane into
the water, the National Transportation Safety Board said, but only three were rescued. Authorities are still searching for the fourth passenger, 23-yearold Queens man Gerson Salmon-Negron. The county police said its marine bureau has been out on the water daily, weather permitting, during daylight hours in search of the man both via the surface on boats and using side scan sonar to scan the floor of the water.
