One person with a connection to Ford said he noticed the plane following him and said it flew low and was noisy. The airplane was last seen in the air Aug. 15, two days before the Star published a story revealing that police were investigating Lisi.

“It was the strangest thing. I would leave my driveway and start heading somewhere, maybe north, maybe south and I would hear the plane and look up and see it following,” said the man, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
