Listened to ATC. Took off at approximately 8:46 AM from 10R and reported that he had a problem and was going to land. Taxied back to 10R at approx 8:55 and was cleared for take off. After acknowledging, ATC updated ATIS and warned of birds in vicinity. just a few seconds later Appleton stated he was returning and crashed between 10R and 10L
Do you have a link to the recording?

Agreed, thanks very much!!
As incredible as it seems for such an excellent and highly experienced pilot it is possible he had a serous problem right after take off and tried to return to a runway and stalled at a low altitude. May he test in peace.
Knew him for a long time, amazing guy. We have the same plane. Always feared this might happen.
