The C-45 crashed while landing at the Fran's Star Ranch's private landing strip. The ranch later became Angel's Ladies.

Lot of the damage on the right wing tip. The fuselage struture just in front of the tail was also broken. Looks like it might have ground looped.

I can see why they put the sign up. Looks like someone tried to take the N number. Maybe it was GABE FERNDO who was there.
