I ran into a guy in New Jersey last week that claimed there was a Lancair
"2-place"  fatal involving a lost blade on a composite prop.
This was "about 2 months ago" on "ifr approach to orange county nj".   The
pilot/owner was also  "working in a ivp somewhere on the west coast".

Does anyone recollect such an event?  If so, do you have more detail?

Do you mean this one?

This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed.
On June 2, 2006, about 1100 eastern daylight time, a homebuilt Lancair 360, N360WH, was destroyed when it impacted terrain, while on approach to the Orange County Airport (MGJ), Montgomery, New York. The certificated private pilot was fatally injured. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed and an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan was filed for the flight that departed the Greenwood Lake Airport (4N1), West Milford, New Jersey. The personal flight was conducted under 14 CFR Part 91.

According to initial information obtained by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the airplane was about 15 miles west-southwest of MGJ, when it was cleared for the instrument landing system (ILS) approach to runway 3. Approximately 5 minutes later, the airplane's radar target disappeared and air traffic control was unable to contact the pilot. The airplane impacted terrain in a wooded area about 4 miles south-southwest of the airport.

The airplane was highly fragmented, and displayed no evidence of fire damage. The wreckage was moved to a garage for further examination to be conducted at a later date.

The pilot reported 750 hours of total flight experience on his most recent application for an FAA second class medical certificate, which was issued on November 5, 2005.

The weather reported at MGJ, about the time of the accident, was: variable winds at 6 knots; visibility 9 statute miles; ceiling 700 feet overcast; temperature 66 degrees F; dew point 62 degrees F; altimeter 29.90 in\hg.
