Hikers and searchers from the Mammoth Lakes Calfornia are reporting they have found an FAA ID for Steve Fossett along with a jacket and some crumpled money. I’m confused as to why this is only coming out now after two days since the Fossett story was international news for many weeks as thousands participated in a huge search for the missing aviator. He was lost after flying from Nevada on September 3, 2007.
Fossett was declared dead February 15, 2008. If this find is not a hoax it implies Fossett may have been alive after the crash. However it seems very odd that a survival expert of Fossett’s caliber could have survived the crash and wandered around leaving only a few items rather than marking a large area with rocks and markings to signal the aircraft he knew would come looking for him.
The Fossett mystery continues.
