Amelia Earhart mystery solved? South Pacific bones may have answers

[ErnstBlofeld]

Christian Science Monitor:

The three bone fragments turned up on a deserted South Pacific island that lay along the course Amelia Earhart was following when she vanished. Nearby were several tantalizing artifacts: some old makeup, some glass bottles and shells that had been cut open.

Now scientists at the University of Oklahoma hope to extract DNA from the tiny bone chips in tests that could prove Earhart died as a castaway after failing in her 1937 quest to become the first woman to fly around the world.

"There's no guarantee," said Ric Gillespie, director of the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery, a group of aviation enthusiasts in Delaware that found the pieces of bone this year while on an expedition to Nikumaroro Island, about 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) south of Hawaii.

She lived and died a journey of fun/excitement.

 

is this her? who knows but we do know that it truly does NOT matter in the larger scheme of things.

 

The big question is did she die in the Lord..(well that to me is the ultimate impt question). have no clue.
