Help - Prop shear at Aspen

I have a report of a Piper Malabu doing an emergency landing at Aspen after a prop shear. My aircraft, a C210, suffered a similar incident and I am anxious to contact the owner/pilot for an exchange of information. Can anyone give me any leads or contacts please? I am going to try and post a photo but it may take a while

Local pilot loses propeller, makes emergency glide landing at Sardy Field

Some 10 minutes after taking off from the Aspen airport, Cox’s single-engine Piper Malibu lost its propeller, and thick oil covered the windshield. Cox remained calm, however, and turned the aircraft around to make a glide landing by navigating through the side windows, he said.
