Fossett mystery clues found

Steve Fossett's flying adventures are world renown and for the past year his disappearance has looked equally legendary.
The 63-year-old, who holds more than 100 world records, vanished after taking off from a private airstrip in California.
He was declared legally dead in February but no wreckage was found - until now.
Preston Morrow was hiking in Mammoth Lakes, 90 miles south of Fossett's take-off site, when he found some of the millionaire pilot's personal possessions, including several 100 dollars bills.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) PRESTON MORROW, THE HIKER WHO FOUND FOSSETT'S ID CARDS, SAYING:
"It wasn't just the money -- those ID cards. Those three cards were kind of sticking up out of the ... it was kind of brown and black. And the ID was black or blue. But the other cards are white, that really stands out. And the money in the dirt didn't stand out, but the other one or two hundred dollar bills that were kind of bleached white, they stood out."
Local officials have confirmed the items are authentic.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) JOHN ANDERSON, MADERA COUNTY SHERIFF, SAYING:
"It's the National Aeronautics Association membership and also his pilot's license issued by the FAA. And it has been confirmed that it belongs to Stephen Fossett."
A sweat shirt has also been found in the area and what appears to be plane wreckage has now been spotted from the air close to where the cards were found.
Foot searchers are now on their way to the site.
Fossett's widow say she hopes they'll locate his remains and bring an end to speculation by some that his disappearance was more than a tragic accident.
