Good article - my money would be a drug runner or similar.
I love the following:

saying he wanted to fly at 9,000 feet "because the radar's out." That
comment -- some say -- indicates the plane's weather radar was not
operating.

Man - thats some enlighting reporting

His "I needed to deviate" comment is chilling. He hit a drug runner,
perhaps?
