<p>Three bone fragments found on a South Pacific island could help prove that famed pilot Amelia Earhart died as a castaway after failing in her quest to fly round the world.</p>
<p>Researchers at the University of Oklahoma hope to extract DNA from bones found by a US group dedicated to the recovery of the historic aircraft.</p>
<p>The fragments were recovered earlier this year on an uninhabited Pacific island about 1,800 miles south of Hawaii.</p>
<p>Earhart and her navigator were nearing the end of their round-the-world trip in their twin-engined Lockheed Electra 73 years ago when they vanished in the South Pacific.</p>
<p>Researchers say crews found other items near the bone fragments, which could also be from a turtle. The university says it does not know when the DNA tests will be completed.</p>
<p>Earhart, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic, was 41 when she disappeared and was declared legally dead 18 months later.</p>
