Steve Fossett…found?

Not much of a story yet. But apparently hikers claim to have found some of missing millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett’s personal items while hiking near Mammoth Lakes, California. As of now no plane wreckage has been found. Apparently the items found were a sweat shirt a small bit of cash and two Federal Aviation Administration cards with Fossett’s name on them. All of the items were located in an area just over the Nevada/California border near where the search originally took place.

I will keep updating this post if more info is reported.

After a short search in the area surrounding the area where the personal effects were discovered, the wreckage of Steve Fossett’s plane was found. No human remains have been located though.

There has been much speculation concerning Fossett’s disappearance, some skeptics believe he staged his own death due to an enormous amount of debt. When Fossett took off to fly over the desert on Sept 3, 2007 he had one bottle of water and no parachute.

However it is common when someone panics or starts to succumb to shock they often will act irrationally, such as discarding clothing and personal effects.

Here is the original write up about Fossett’s disappearance.

UPDATE: Human remains have been found in the wreckage, however it will still take some time to determine what exactly they are.

UPDATE: Several large humans bones have been discovered near the wreckage of the Fossett plane. These along with tennis shoes and Fossett’s drivers license have added more evidence to the case that Fossett did indeed meet his end in the crash last September.
