Searchers have found human remains in the wreckage of missing adventurer Steve Fossett's plane, Reuters reports. No official confirmation has come yet, but the find is all but sure to end the mystery of Fossett's disappearance more than a year ago on a solo flight from Nevada. His plane, along with money and documents such as Fossett's pilot license, had been found earlier on the remote California mountain.
The plane apparently slammed head first into the mountain, and it could be months or more before investigators have a better idea of what happened. "It looks like a very high impact crash," said a spokeswoman for the Mono County Sheriff's Department. Friends said Fossett, 63, had taken off on a simple pleasure ride. (More Steve Fossett stories.)
