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
