Reserachers say metal fragment found in 1991 belongs to Amelia Earhart's plane

New research strongly suggests that a piece of aluminum aircraft debris recovered in 1991 from Nikumaroro, an uninhabited atoll in the southwestern Pacific republic of Kiribati, does belong to Earharts twin-engined Lockheed Electra.

Please explain to me how it takes 23 years to determine that? Clearly we need smarter people looking for Amelia.

She was a lesbian, right?

 

[Chemical X]

this is clearly noonan's fault....he was probably too busy cat calling earhardt, got distracted and thought nikumaroro was howland or even baker.

he needed to keep his head in the game.

If they both ended up stranded on the island for a long time, do you think they had teh sex? I mean, it's kind of the "if you were stranded on a desert island" scenario.

that Malaysia airline plane is going to take 50 years to find

The measurement of the bone they lost matches a picture of Earhart. Mystery is almost solved now!

Whoops. History channel had their 2 hour special about some mysterious photo that supposedly proves thar Earhart died in Japanese prison camp.

Now it comes out that the grainy picture that could show any Caucasian couple was actually printed in  a Japanese travel book 2 years before her disappearance.

I guess Earhart shouldn't have ignored it then. I mean, sheeesh, they gave her a two year warning.

Earhart's bones may finally have been identified.

 

[Joe Summer]

So the bones were lost in 1940 but they're somehow able to determine that they were Earhart because of a vague written description?

These guys are glorified Sasquatch hunters.

Now, how can you argue with solid evidence like

In 2016, the group brought the measurements to Jeff Glickman, a forensic examiner, who located a photo of Earhart from Lockheed Aircraft Corp. that showed her with her arms exposed. It appeared, based on educated guesses, that Earhart’s upper arm bone corresponded with one of the Nikumaroro bones.

In attempting to compare the lost bones with Earhart’s bones, Jantz co-developed a computer program that estimated sex and ancestry using skeletal measurements. The program, Fordisc, is commonly used by forensic anthropologists across the globe.

Jantz compared the lengths of the bones to Earhart’s measurements, using her height, weight, body build, limb lengths and proportions, based on photographs and information found on her pilot’s and driver’s licenses. His findings revealed that Earhart’s bones were “more similar to the Nikumaroro bones than 99 [percent] of individuals in a large reference sample.”

“In the case of the Nikumaroro bones, the only documented person to whom they may belong is Amelia Earhart,” Jantz wrote in the study.

Technically, this is forensic science.

And they say they have a "99 percentile" match, but we are talking about a near exact match of someone with Earhart's measurements..... in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. How many women of Earhart's build just happened to leave bones laying around on deserted islands in Earhart's flight path in 1940?
