Jantz, Professor Emeritus and Director Emeritus at the University of Tennessee Forensic Anthropology Center, was released regarding the Amelia Earhart mystery. It tells of recent studies of the skeletal remains recovered on Nikumaroro Island in the South Pacific as having a 99% probability of  being those of the long lost aviator.
