LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Rescue workers and volunteers combed a mountainous area of western Panama on Tuesday in search of three Americans and a Panamanian pilot whose small plane went missing over the weekend.

But dense tropical foliage, mountainous terrain and heavy rains were making air and land searches in the Chiriqui province extremely difficult, said Roberto Rolando Rodriguez, a spokesman for the agency that overseas the nation's air security.

Michael Klein, a 37-year-old hedge fund manager, was on vacation with his daughter Talia, 13, and her friend Francesca Lewis, 12, at an eco-resort he owns in the Central American nation, said ex-wife Kim Klein in a telephone interview with The Associated Press from Boquete. The three had been scheduled to return to Santa Barbara, California, on Monday, she said.
