MADERA, Calif. — Searchers have found what appear to be two large human bones near the crash site of Steve Fossett’s plane in the Sierra Nevada, along with his tennis shoes and driver’s license, authorities said Thursday.
Madera County Sheriff John Anderson said the bones were found Wednesday about a half-mile east of the crash site. Testing to identify them is expected to take about a week.
The shoes and driver’s license had animal-bite marks on them.
“This reinforces our theory that animals dragged him away,” Anderson said.
Previous bone fragments discovered near the wreckage were either not human or too small for DNA tests. Fossett vanished in September 2007 during what was supposed to be a short pleasure flight.
