PEMRBROKE, N.Y. — A preliminary report from the NTSB is reportedly due within days on the deadly plane crash in Pembroke that killed well-known attorney Steve Barnes and his niece, Elizabeth, on October 2. That report will not determine the cause of the crash, but will release to the public what federal investigators know about the crash so far. 

Barnes piloted the small, private plane that crashed into a swamp and wooded area off Route 33.
