A Cessna 560 Citation Encore on a positioning flight from Saint Louis to Fort Lauderdale flew in level cruise at 39,000 ft until the pilot stopped responding to air traffic control. The jet continued more than 300 miles past its destination before descending into the Atlantic Ocean. Neither the pilot nor the airplane was recovered, and the NTSB could not determine why it hit the water.
