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.
Fossett was 63 when he vanished a little more than a year ago.
