Did they ever say what happened to those bones? Supposedly, they went off for testing and it was concluded that they belong to a Caucasian female of approximately 40. If those bones could be located and DNA extracted and matched to Earhart (or Noonan. if the previous analysis was incorrect), the story's credibility skyrockets. Of course, the chain of custody might be a problem. We might not know where the bones came from and if the bones of Earhart and Noonan were examined or those of some relative of one of those two.
Yes, I remember that being said. I would expect to find a bunch of bone fragments in the vicinity of a crematorium. You would think there would be documentation of the previous expeditions?
