From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23) On September 20, 2003 at approximately 1015 CDT, a BE-58 landed gear-up on runway 17 at Okmulgee (okm), OK. The pilot departed rvs enroute to okm to perform single engine approaches. On his second single engine approach, normal pattern, pilot failed to select gear-down, subsequently landing gear-up on runway 17. The pilot reported being preoccupied with the engine out and rudder trim situation and thereby failed to respond to the gear warning horn. The aircraft slid several hundred feet and came to rest on the runway center line. There were no injuries to the pilot who was the only occupant in the aircraft. The aircraft did sustain damage to the propellers, left and right flaps, nose gear doors, and fwd/mid lower fuselage skins.
