Steve Fossett, a millionaire adventurer, disappeared in September 2007 after taking off from a remote location in Nevada, flying in his single engine aircraft. On October 1, 2008, officials from Mammoth Lakes in California revealed that some hikers have turned in identification and other personal items that may have belonged to Fossett. How they arrived in California is unclear. Speculation has surfaced over the past year on the Internet that Steve Fossett had faked his death.
