Mr Fossett vanished after taking off for a solo flight in September 2007.

Crash site investigators have found human remains in the wreckage of Steve Fossett's small plane on a remote California mountain.

Local officials had earlier said that no remains had been found.

Mark Rosenker, the acting chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board, told Reuters that search crews had found a "very small" amount of human remains amid the plane's debris.

He declined to provide details, adding that local officials would be responsible for examining the remains.

"It will be taken by the sheriff and the coroner and they will do the work," Mr Rosenker said.
