The world might be one step closer to solving the mystery of Amelia Earhart's disappearance.
A researcher from the University of Tennessee thinks bones found in 1940 on a remote island in the South Pacific likely belong to Earhart. At the time, a physician concluded they belonged to a man.
The UT researcher reanalyzed that physician's data and found the bones "have more similarity to Earhart than to 99 percent of individuals in a large reference sample."
He said until there's definitive evidence the remains don't belong to Earhart, the most convincing argument is that they do.
