Some people think so, and not conspiracists either.

I'm sure all the other families are in awe of your work when you phoned them up and said "remember your long lost husband that we thought had done a runner - we've found his body in a plane wreck! how great is that! You were right after all that his plane crashed".

However, Lieutenant Colonel Cynthia Ryan of the US Civil Air Patrol has said Fossett, whose body or plane was never found, could still be alive.
She said: "I've been doing this search and rescue for 14 years. Fossett should have been found.
"It's not like we didn't have our eyes open. We found six other planes while we were looking for him. We're pretty good at what we do."
Ok, so you've been doing search and rescue for 14 years, and its only on this S&R that you find 6 planes you missed the first time round. Hmmm. Maybe you should be home baking cookies luv cause looking for crashed planes really isn't your thing.She said: "I've been doing this search and rescue for 14 years. Fossett should have been found.

Exactly! (Unless of course they all crashed recently). Or maybe they just bulk them up for a few years and then do them in one hit? article said:

Does she not mean that they found 6 others which went missing during the search period. Rather than they found 6 outstanding aircraft from old searches?article said:

Anyway I just read the story in full. The plane he used as a frame covered in fabric. The dude claims Fosset could have dismanteled it. Yes or as it was fabric it could have collapsed into a much smaller pile of wreckage I'd think. Thus making it harder to find than a all aluminium plane...

If they catch fire there's not a lot left to spot either bar an engine block.

She never said that they'd previosuly searched for the other 6 planes, or that they had been reported missing or anything else. Could have been drug smugglers etc. I think you've jumped to a conclusion rather unfairly. article said:

By "unmapped", she is talking about what is commonly referred to as the "Wreckage Locator List." This is a list (click on CON US Crash Locator at bottom of list) maintained by Air Force Rescue Coordination Center at Langley Air Force Base, VA, and used by the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) to identify old crash sites while search for missing aircraft.
The problem is that they are searching a huge area and not all light aircraft are owned by drug smugglers.By "unmapped", she is talking about what is commonly referred to as the "Wreckage Locator List."

Interesting that the county asked fossetts widow to contribute to a proportion of the $1.6 million dollar search (about 1/3rd) and she said no. So even multimillionaires can ba 'tight' it seems.
Maybe she has the money tide up in Panamanian time shares.....?
Years ago two Vickers Viscounts full of passengers went missing on the same route in Ecuador between two cities not that far apart. That is TWO aircraft. Quite LARGE aircraft. On a KNOWN route. On a SHORT route.
Took 20 years before they were found.
Aircraft that fly into the ground can be hard to spot!
