Steve Fossett's Belongings Possibly Found in California Forest

Some of lost air-adventurer Steve Fossett's personal belongings may have been found in the California woods not far from the Nevada state line, prompting a new search, FOX News has learned.

Preston Morrow, a local ski shop owner, told FOX News that he was hiking with his dog near his home in Mammoth Lakes, Calif. on Monday afternoon when he stumbled across what appeared to be three cards with Fossett's name on them that were issued by the Federal Aviation Administration in Illinois, as well as ten 100-dollar bills.

Morrow returned to the site on Tuesday to get a GPS reading of the site when he spotted a sweatshirt on top of a ridge.

Morrow then brought the items back to his wife, who is the local fire captain, Mammoth Lakes Police Chief Randy Schienle told FOX News.

Officers were interviewing the couple about the find, but early reports suggest the cards are authentic, sources said.

The bills were tattered and crumpled on the ground; the weather-worn jacket was nearby, Morrow told FOX. Both human and animal hair were found on the sweatshirt.
