NBC Universal, Inc. Investigators believe there were four people on that single engine plane that crashed off the coast of Half Moon Bay Sunday and authorities on Tuesday confirmed the name of the only victim whose body has been recovered so far. Jocelyn Moran reports.

A second woman's body was found Wednesday near the location of the Half Moon Bay plane crash site, sources told NBC Bay Area.

The San Mateo County coroner's office identified the victim as 26-year-old Cassidy Petit of Oakland.

The discovery comes after a single-engine Cozy Mark IV aircraft crashed into the ocean near Ross' Cove on Jan. 14. Federal investigators said they believe four people were aboard the plane.

Petit's fiancé Lochie Ferrier, 27, also died in the crash. The young couple had plans to get married this month, according to an obituary for Petit.

The body of 27-year-old Emma Willmer-Shiles was recovered a day after the crash.
