Bones found on island might be Amelia Earhart's

[patchz]

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.

Interesting... but might it not be Jimmy Hoffa? I'll only take this seriously when some solid evidence comes into play with those DNA tests.

The most interesting part of what has been found is not the bone, but the woman's compact and a pocket knife that allegedly was in the inventory of items onboard the aircraft.

Jimmy Hoffa is under Giants Stadium

If it comes to pass that the DNA matches her, it means she likely survived for a length of time after going down.

I would think..

If so, too bad Sat phones and their respective connections had not been invented yet. One has to wonder what she would have accomplished had she lived longer.
