These are notably missing from the popular accounting. The earliest verified date of the story is early 1994; if this happened at all, it would have happened sometime between then and maybe the third season of re-runs of "Smokey and the Bandit II." The only firm source mentioned is the Arizona Highway Police. I presume the NTSB and insurance companies might also have some record of investigation. Who knows; maybe the Air Force squelched the story after identifying the remains as a UFO. Mike.
