It's too bad they don't DNA test the fingerbone to find out for sure. If it is her, then they know. Although I wonder how they will tell it was her? DNA should be able to tell what race the finger belonged to, and whether it was a male or female. I don't think it can conclusively be matched to her regardless unless they have kept a tissue sample for all these years. If it is not, then it's just another homeless finger so why keep it?

Good luck, let me know if you need an expedition seaplane pilot

i think if they can get an idea that there was a caucasion female of the same age as Amelia on that island around the same time, that it would be strong enough evidence for me.

I think you guys should stop listening to TIGHR B.S.
Most of what they ever state gets proven wrong pretty quickly
What you don't know is that there was a ship wrecked just off that island in the 1930's
Most research has determined that the bone testing was inconclusive and the artifacts are most likely from that wreck.
TIGHR has been selling adventure vacations for years and has an absolutely terrible reputation world wide.
They have started many of these little expeditions luring many financial backers but have never ever recovered anything EVER !

Many people have theories and it amazes me how many people refuse to listen to Amelia herself in her last transmissions
She states clearly that she is running a back and forth , low on fuel and cannot see the island .
In the last broadcasts her voice was very shrill near hysterical.
Doubt she would sound like that if she was going to a plan B
My bet is that they are in the deep six

Make up case and lipstick ?
I think you need to research the findings a bit better
A jar was found that "looks similar" to a freckle cream jar but is the wrong colour glass
Their theory : since Earhart had freckles it MUST be hers.... very very thin like all their conclusions have been
There are not items that have been positively id'd as items used by a female, even the large size shoe heal is suspect. The shoe heal is a size nine and not positively id'd as a womens , she was a size six etc Searching the island many many items have been found that have been proven to be parts of WW2 aircraft etc
It seems the island was a bit of a stop over as such and also the villagers scavenge from all over leaving items everywhere.
There is not one item that can positively be linked to her or Noonan
I also do not want to start a pissing match but please research more. I think you will change your mind

I am definitely no expert but having been involved in an internationally funded Earhart project, we had access to much of the info gathered by groups over the years and there is nothing that even remotely proves what happened.
All have been grand theories with really sketchy conclusions based on personal opinions.
I have no theories about what happened only what she states.
Read the radio transmissions she is telling us what inevitably happened.
But if you want a rather fun but frustrating holiday give TIGHAR your money and maybe you can go along with the but strangely they don't usually allows donors to actually go. ( research their history also it is very strange and they have never ver found or recovered anything ever)
