In Texas, Merrie Hipp, 43, and Bradley Justin Gaudet, 23, were each charged with one count of theft of government property for allegedly stealing pieces of the shuttle. Hipp was accused of taking a circuit board, and Bradley a piece of inner fabric that acted as a thermal barrier, said U.S. Attorney Mike Shelby of Houston.
Shelby said other people who have failed to turn in pieces of Columbia have until 5 p.m. Friday to do so, or face prosecution. He said there also are 17 open probes of people who have supposedly tried to auction shuttle debris on eBay.
