Hikers in California have found items that may belong to missing millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett, officials said Wednesday. Mammoth Lakes Police Department chief Randy Schienle said items including an identity card bearing Fossett’s name had been handed to authorities after being discovered on Tuesday.
“They found some miscellaneous ID and actually some cash in the area, and the ID has the name of Steve Fossett on it,” Schienle told CNN.
“We’re not certain that it belongs to Steve Fossett but it certainly has his name on the ID which are some miscellaneous pilots and/or aircraft licenses.”
The items included a Federal Aviation Administration identity card, a pilot’s license, a separate identity card and 1,005 dollars in cash.
FAA spokesman Ian Gregor told AFP he had been shown a photograph of the identity card and that the information carried on it corresponded with what was stored on the agency’s database.
“I can’t say much more at this stage until we see the document,” Gregor said. “I’ve only seen a photo of it so far.”
Police said a command post had been set up at Mammoth Lakes Airport and aerial searches of the area were underway. | AP | Steve Fossett Fake death found
