In 1940, British colonial officer Gerald Gallagher found human bones on Nikumaroro, an island in the Pacific Ocean. 🔎 

Today, records of these bones could serve as key pieces of evidence in the purdue_research_foundation and the Archaeological Legacy Institute’s joint expedition to locate #AmeliaEarhart’s missing plane — and perhaps unlock the mystery behind her high-profile disappearance. 

Listen to #ThisIsPurdue’s “Finding Amelia” miniseries at the 🔗 in our bio.
