Bones discovered in the 1940s belong to Amelia Earhart, according to a new scientific study.
The bones of an unknown individual were found in 1940 on the Pacific Island of Nikumaroro and were originally thought to belong to a man.reports that University of Tennessee Professor Richard Jantz has run a more modern set of tests making him 99 percent sure that the remains belong to the pilot.
Jantz compared Earhart’s information – her height, weight, and body proportions – to the bones that were discovered in the 40s. The bones were found on the island near what explorers thought to be a woman’s shoe, a navy sextant, and a herbal liqueur.
