Update 10/02/08 4:04pm PST:
Body parts have been found near the wreckage of, what is now confirmed to be, the Bellanca single-engine plane that Steve Fossett was flying the day he disappeared.
Federal investigators say they have found body parts amid the wreckage of a missing adventurer's airplane in the mountains of eastern California.The National Transportation Safety Board said Thursday that searchers found enough at the crash site of Steve Fossett's plane to provide coroners with DNA.
National Transportation Safety Board acting Chairman Mark Rosenker won't say exactly what searchers found. But he says it was not surprising how little they uncovered, considering how long it had been since the crash.
More than a year after millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett went missing over the desert of Nevada, the wreckage of his plane was found in California.
Yesterday hikers apparently found personal effects belonging to Fossett, including a wallet and pilots license.
The Madera County, California, Sheriff's Department said the wreckage was spotted Wednesday during an aerial search of the area where a hiker had discovered identification with the missing aviator's name.According to The Associated Press, Preston Morrow said he found three identification cards with Fossett's name and about $1000 in cash Monday tangled in a bush just west of the town of Mammoth Lakes.
Personal items belonging to legendary adventurer Steve Fossett were apparently found by hikers in northern California, over a year after he went missing.
Hundreds of rescuers searched for weeks for any sign of FOssett or his airplane, which went missing in September of 2007 while flying over the Nevada desert.

Rob Walker, I like this story. It's good stuff. He was such a dreamer and had to try and make his dreams come true - sometimes people like Steve are described as having a 'death wish' when in fact they just can't get enough of life!

They say the airplane apparently flew straight in to the mountain, like hitting a bridge abutment at 120 mph. Animals [wolves] got the remains of the pilot.

According to my sources. Faucet is still alive and currently dying of a disease that will take his live shortly. This was the impetous for his staged plane crash. He's a clever and funny guy sources say and wanting to create some fun and mystery.
