NTSB: No Distress Calls Came Before Lafayette Piper Crash
The fatal Piper Cheyenne flight, which was to have headed to Atlanta for the LSU-OU football game, ended shortly after takeoff, NTSB said.

A team of National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigators are looking into what led to a Piper PA31-T Cheyenne II turboprop twin to take off from Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT), enter into a steep decline, and crash into a U.S. Post Office parking lot on December 28, killing five of six aboard, including the daughter-in-law of the offensive coordinator of the Louisana State University (LSU) football team.
