'Credible leads' in the search for Fossett

I'm still trying to figure out why this story is such a big deal. A dude who likes to do all kinds of crazy shit like ride in a balloon around the world takes off in a plane and now no one knows where he is. According to the Nevada Civil Air Patrol there are four 'credible leads' they're following. If those four leads aren't different parts of his body then forget it. There's your credible lead--the dude is part of a coyote's stool by now. Isn't it crazy that the guy should die on a simple plane ride and not one of those crazy stunts? Had I remained single it would've been like me dying with only one woman in the sack.
