I been following this since Yesterday morning when it happened.
http://blog.oregonlive.com/breakingnews/2008/02/plane_crash_near_albany_kills.html
Quite a bit of conjecture here but
From the photos (no scrapes on the ground) it looked like it spun in. I do know the Columbia 4 place is not recoverable from a developed spin...It was IFR all around here when this happened so my guess is that somehow the pilot got disoriented and maybe stalled,spun and was unable to recover.
That would be tough to do in IMC I guess the only indication would be the ball skided off to the right.
