Investigators homed in on the area near Mammoth Lakes on Wednesday after hikers there found a sweat shirt, cash and identification cards with Fossett's name.

The hikers did not find any wreckage; an aerial search discovered the airplane parts about a quarter-mile away, Anderson said.
his clothes and wallet were relatively far away from the wreckage. Does that imply he bailed out, walked/crawled away from the crash, or perhaps animals dragged away his remains

sounds like he hit the mountain side full on, he's either vaporized or was a mountain lion's snack.

He took off his clothes, walked to Vegas, and has been on a bender ever since.

I'd say animals probably moved his body if he died on impact. Who knows he may have survived only to succumb to his injuries a few km away.
