MAMMOTH LAKES, Calif. (AP) - Madera County Sheriff's officials say search efforts around the site of adventurer Steve Fossett's downed plane that were suspended may not resume until the summer.
Snowfall ended the search in the mountains of Mono County Friday, and Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Erica Stuart says she does not expect weather conditions to improve enough for search teams to return to the site this year.
But authorities say they completed most of what they needed to do Friday when they removed debris from Fossett's plane and found three more bone fragments.
The bone fragments, including a fourth piece found earlier, will be sent to a lab to determine whether they are human and a match for Fossett.
Fossett vanished last September during what was supposed to be a
short pleasure flight.
