I always feel that closure cannot be found unless wreckage and/or body is recovered - just me?.......
Washington - Rescue crews have found the wreckage of a small plane that appears to be the aircraft piloted by millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett, the National Transportation Safety Board said on Thursday.

The NTSB said the small airplane found on Wednesday "appears to be the aircraft piloted by Steve Fossett".

Fossett's small Bellanca airplane has been missing since September 3, 2007, when the pilot left Nevada for a local flight.

The wreckage was located about 3 200m up the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the vicinity of Mammoth Lakes, California. The NTSB said it has sent an investigator to the accident site.
