hmmm, i was pretty well betting that steve fossett faked his death... but it still is possible, wheres the plane, no wild animal could have eatten that..


Personal effects apparently belonging to Steve Fossett, the millionaire adventurer who vanished over a year ago, have been found in a mountainous area of eastern California. Police in Mammoth Lakes, a holiday resort 60 miles from the Nevada airfield where Fossett was last seen alive, confirmed that a ski-shop worker had found two identity cards bearing the aviator's name on Monday.


Further searches revealed 10 crumpled $100 bills and a black Nautica fleece covered in animal hair. The hiker, Preston Morrow, called police on Tuesday after taking a GPS reading of the site. "Fossett's name didn't pop in my head immediately," Mr Morrow said. "But I did wonder, 'Gee why are there some ID cards and money here when there is nothing else?' There was no wallet, no bag... nothing." Accident investigators are combing the area, reported to be near the top of a ridge in the eastern foothills of the Sierra Nevada. The area has steep, tree-lined hillsides and remote gullies.

Although no wreckage or remains have been found, police investigator Crystal Schafer said the ID cards were genuine. "We have some ID that has the name Steve Fossett," she said.

The location of Mr Morrow's discovery fits with the theory that Fossett, who was declared legally dead in February, crashed after getting into difficulty during a routine pleasure flight. The aviator, who set more than 100 records in five adventure sports and was best known for his collaborations with Sir Richard Branson, went missing on the morning of 3 September 2007 after setting off alone in a light aircraft from an exclusive private club.

Despite one of the biggest peace-time search operations in US history lasting several weeks, covering 20,000 square miles, no trace of Fossett has been found. The absence of a body led to speculation that he could have faked his death to avoid debt or the prospect of a messy divorce from his wife of 38 years, Peggy. He was believed to have lost large sums on the stock market, and investigators discovered he had two mistresses and hidden accounts.

Conspiracy theorists asked how one of the most experienced aviators in history could have hit trouble on a clear day. His aircraft, a Citabria Super Decathlon, was made from wood and fabric, making it easy to hide and undetectable to radar. They are unlikely to be completely silenced until Fossett's body or his aircraft turn up. Locals say that is unlikely. "He has probably been eaten," said Mr Morrow's lawyer David Baumwohl. "Bears and mountain lions will eat the body."

Experts who dispute the theory that Mr Fossett faked his death say the topography of Mammoth Lakes makes it possible for even an experienced pilot to fly into a narrow gully without time to reach the altitude to get out of it. Michael LoVallo, Mrs Fossett's lawyer, said: "We are aware of the reports and are trying to verify the information."

HAVE AN AWESOME DAY, AND A BETTER NITE, LOL

randy was the proffessor who found out he was terminal and gave his last lecture, that was so inspiring and he had the best additude.. i am very sad to hear the news this morning of Randy Pausch's passing. Randy was a remarkable man. As Randy reminded us, "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." The way Randy lived his life up until the very end of it is an example to all of us and he will be missed by millions. i blogged about his last lecture before, but here it is again..

A marine was arrested at Camp Lejeune Sunday afternoon, shortly after the charred remains of his estranged wife, Army nurse Holley Wimunc, were discovered in a brush fire on the outskirts of the North Carolina base.
Cpl. John Wimunc is arrested after police find the body of his missing wife.

Cpl. John Patrick Wimunc, 23, and codefendant Kyle Ryan Alden, 22, both marines stationed at Camp Lejeune, were arrested around 4:30 p.m. Sunday and charged with arson for a fire that burned through Lt. Holley Wimunc's Fayetteville apartment on Thursday, the day she went missing.

Police have yet to confirm publicly that the body found near Camp Lejeune, some 130 miles from Fayetteville, belonged to the nurse, but investigators have "strong suspicions" it is her. The two men have not been connected to the brush fire where the body was discovered.

Holley Wimunc's father released a statement this morning saying police told him that his daughter's remains had been found.

"It is with profound sadness that our family just received the news from authorities that our beloved daughter Holley is dead," Jesse James, of Dubuque, Iowa, said in the statement.

and how many people let her die here... it wasent a sudden death, the lady was there for 24 hours waiting for help, at the place she was supposed to be... i just cant understand this, nor could i imagine it being anyone i know or even me, going through that.. how sad

just heard the news and andy banker had a segment that union, mo was the first around to have a emergency alert system ... omg hermanns had that for some month now... and its annoying to get a call in the middle of the night with a recording telling you that there are severe storms in the county, especially when it dosent even rain... its scary cause we think that there is a death in our family and thats why we get calls at 2 am, 3 am, etc.. .. it might save lives, some day, but in the last few month it has woke the town of hermann, and the whole county of gasconade, numberous times in the wee hours of the morning for basicly nothing. i also heard that union could sign up for the service... i dont think we have a choice, we get it whether we want it or not.
