Carter Roy

He's the hiker from the beginning of the episode.

The hiker's discovery initiated another search.

Soon, pieces of Fawcett's plane and two large human bones were found.

The bones were tested and matched Fawcett's DNA.

The rest of his body, though, was still lost.

As for why he crashed, the National Transportation Safety Board inspected the wreckage and found no signs of mechanical issues.

So the crash was likely due to the Sierra's notoriously high winds pulling Steve into a mountain.

He would have died on impact.

Mystery solved.

But not quite.

People question the discovery.

Fawcett's plane was found only 65 miles away from his takeoff site.

Again, this is the man that flew more than 26,000 miles in a single flight through an electrical failure, through turbulence that almost broke his plane apart.

The man knew how to get himself out of trouble.

Plus, why were pieces of his clothes, cash, and ID scattered?

Shouldn't they have remained in the wreckage?

Some say the rest of his body was dragged away by animals.

I guess they also took the cash and IDs out of his wallet and sprinkled them around the mountain?

The plane itself was found somewhat intact, but in no way whole, with no signs of a fire that would supposedly burn away the missing pieces.

So what, the animals also dismantled the plane?
