Perfect Match

Taking the measurements of the bones along with the photos, Jantz referenced it to Earhart’s height and weight during that time in 1937. He managed to collect the information of Earhart and photos of her after he did some digging. Doing some cross-reference and inspecting, Jantz could then conclude that the bones from Nikumaroro were a perfect match to Earhart, that it was hers.

Without A Doubt

Professor Richard Jantz has indeed done extensive research on Amelia Earhart. With Jantz’s findings, he is certain that the bones were Amelia Earhart’s and no one else’s. “From a forensic perspective, the most parsimonious scenario is that the bones are those of Amelia Earhart,” he added, “Until definitive evidence is presented that the remains are not those of Amelia Earhart, the most convincing argument is that they are hers.”

Some Other Person?

Jantz is so convinced that the bones were Earhart’s, he believes that if it was not so, it would still belong to someone just like her. The professor believes, “[They were] more similar to the Nikumaroro bones than 99 [percent] of individuals in a large reference sample.” Adding, “If the bones do not belong to Amelia Earhart, then they are from someone very similar to her.” So could this be?

What Is The Truth?

So if this professor’s statement was to be true, then it would also mean that Floyd Kilts, the old coastguard’s tale was right all along. It would also prove that Amelia Earhart, and her partner, Fred Noonan, had died as castaways there at the Pacific island of Nikumaroro. You can say whatever you will but cannot rub off the fact that Amelia Earhart had achieved so much to make gender equality a reality.

Closing The Case?

There are so many theories regarding Earhart’s disappearance. Jantz firmly believes that Nikumaroro was the place where Amelia Earhart found herself in after crashing her plane. Another possibility is that some other woman with the same physique/background died there during the time Amelia and Fred were touring the world. Jantz’s research serves as an acceptable explanation leaving the mystery a little clearer…
