Narrative:

PA60 inbound from the south IFR (on visual approach) was instructed to report 3 mi out on left base runway 28. Approximately 5-6 mins later, I observed an aircraft on a 1/2 mi final runway 28. I verified it was the PA60 and cleared him to land. He landed without incident. When I told him to contact ground he said he was sorry he missed his report. With radar I could have seen him before he ever got that close.
