A Texas father has been identified as the copilot and final victim killed in a fiery plane crash in Maine last week.
Jorden Reidel, 33, was among the six people killed when the Bombardier Challenger 600 jet, which was bound for Paris, France, flipped and caught fire on the runway during takeoff at about 7:45 p.m. on Jan. 25.
Reidel, of Conroe, Texas, began his aviation career during high school, earning his private pilot license when he graduated in 2010 at the age of 17, according to his obituary.
“With his passion and strong work ethics, Jorden always strived toward advancing his training and received his helicopter rotorcraft rating in 2023. With his airline and helicopter licenses thus achieving his dream to be able to fly the open skies,” his obituary read.

Arnold’s husband, Kurt, had co-founded Arnold & Itkin, a personal injury firm where she had worked.
The Arnolds had recently started the concierge service Beyond for travelers who could have their every need met at properties in Turks & Caicos and Telluride, Colorado, for as much as $15,000 to $30,000 a night.
They were flying from Houston to France’s Champagne region to scope out the next travel destination for high-net-worth clients, stopping in Bangor to refuel, when the small jet crashed as a snowstorm moved in and burst into flames.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Experts say the National Transportation Safety Board is expected to examine the approaching storm and whether ice buildup on the wings prevented the aircraft from becoming airborne, a problem that has occurred at least twice before with the same model. Investigators, however, will review all possible factors.

Concord City Manager Receives ‘Satisfactory’ Review, 2.5% Raise, But Sabbatical Request Gets Trimmed
Schultz said she “highly respects” Aspell, too, but there was a “dissonance between reality” when eyeing what the public and city employees were earning.
Ward 6 City Council Aislinn Kalob, too, would not be voting for the increase, saying it had been “heavily on my mind since we’ve had our nonpublic sessions,” which lasted about six hours of work. She appreciated Kretovic clearly outlining the job of city manager. But people were frustrated with the city manager, and she saw that in the comments in online forums.
“I do feel, after really digging into this, and learning about his job,” she said, “and thinking toward the future when, eventually, at some point, somebody new will be sitting in that seat, we are the ones who direct policy and he is the one that implements it… there is anger out there that should be directed more toward us.”
Kalob said, too, a room full of firefighters, upset about their contract, also made voting for the wage increase something she could not consider.
Michele Horne of Ward 2 echoed similar concerns to Schultz, saying there was significant “wage disparity” between the public and staff and the city manager. She also agreed with Kalob’s point that previous councils created this contract.
A New Jersey high school teacher faces charges for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a student, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Jesse Heubel, 37, of Englishtown teaches at Freehold Township High School.
Monmouth County prosecutors say Heubel has been charged in multiple municipalities, including Freehold Township, Englishtown, Manalpan Township and Red Bank, because those are the locations where the alleged sexual acts took place.
Heubel has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child and second-degree sexual assault in each of the four municipalities.
Authorities said the alleged criminal conduct began back in November of 2025, and the victim is under 18 years old.
Heubel turned himself in.
Authorities ask anyone who may have additional information about Heubel’s alleged activities to call police at (732) 431-7160 or (732) 462-7908.
CBS News New York has reached out to Heubel’s defense attorney for comment.
