A Cessna 421C on a private cross-country flight from Scottsdale to Tacoma flew into icing conditions and cloud over Washington state. After controllers warned of severe icing on the route, the pilot continued and reported he was in trouble while descending in a turn. The aircraft struck trees and terrain nose low, and the wreckage was found about six months later.
