I agree that it doesn’t make a lot of sense, I’m at the point I just won’t rule anything out.
I personally believe his plane went down in this area now that these effects have been found, to me that’s the logical thing.
The only thing that I wonder about is why he was in this area because if I remember right he wasn’t supposed to be. Of course with his flying experience he might have just decided to check something out and this isn’t far from the area he was supposed to be in.
Hopefully, like you say, they’ll get a concerted effort going before the weather gets bad.
Lawyer: Fossett ‘Probably Eaten’ In Alpine Wilderness.
according to David Baumwohl, an attorney for the hiker who recovered the items.
The hiker initially didn’t know who Fossett was, but once he found out, wanted to alert the Fossett family, Baumwohl said.
Baumwohl and Morrow tried to contact the law firm that handled the death declaration. When they weren’t successful, they decided to turn everything over to the police, the attorney said.
Morrow also found a black Nautica pullover fleece, size XL, but left that at the scene. A quick search for airplane pieces before night fell didn’t turn anything up, Baumwohl said.
Chances of finding remains are slim, said the attorney, who is a longtime resident of the mountain town and has followed similar cases.
“He’s probably been eaten. This is not the first time this has happened,” he said.
“When people land in alpine wilderness, there’s bears, mountain lions that’ll eat the body.”
