Case Grande police got the identifying N-number off the plane tail and
located a Paradise Valley address.

SNIP
Walker said that the victim had neither a pilot's license nor a valid
student pilot's certificate and that the plane, a 1961 Nord owned by
the Lundells, was not registered.



If the aircraft wasn't registered how did they tie it to a Paradise Valley
address?

Start asking FBOs in the area if it's based there and then see where
the tidedown bills etc are being mailed?

For something like an aircraft there's always a paper trail (hangar
bills, maintenance records, etc), it's just a matter of how long it
takes to track through it.

I understand that but they did it fast enough to get the police to the house
before the father arrived there with the son. So while they might well have
gotten the address of the owners home from people at the airport I doubt the
N-number had anything to do with it.
