Narrative:

On the evening of feb/tue/94 I was flight following all my assigned flts. I was informed by one of my supervisors that flight X went down in a remote area near baton rouge, la. I received a phone call from the captain of the flight. He told me both engines had flamed out, and that he had to land at the closest available airport (false river airpark). I kept him on the line to ask the usual questions for an event of this nature (location, any injuries, status of aircraft, etc). I was informed there were no injuries, the aircraft and landing gear were both intact, and local police were on site. It is equally important to note that there were no write- ups on the aircraft, runways at the destination were clear and dry, there were no restrictive NOTAMS, and no significant WX occurred during the flight. No alternate was required for the destination, however, additional fuel was given for this flight to be used at the crew's discretion. This incident is currently under investigation. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter is a dispatcher for a major feeder airline. The aircraft had plenty of fuel aboard. The captain, who is no longer flying for any company, apparently shut down both engines on his saab 340 in-flight inadvertently and was unable to restart them. The first officer is back on the line with his air carrier. There was some damage, unspecified, and no personnel injury.
