The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery, TIGHAR, is on the hunt for crash debris on Nikumaroro Island after finding some tantalizing clues. Years ago, a skeleton was found on the island. It was at first misidentified as male before scientists realized it actually belonged to a Caucasian female. The skeleton then disappeared.

We’ll have to wait and see what TIGHAR turns up.
