Shoe parts found on Nikumaroro
From TIGHAR
Found by Gallagher in 1940
Gallagher's thorough search of the area where the skull was found and buried turned up the remnants of some shoes. They were examined by Dr. Steenson in Suva on July 1, 1941: "Apart from stating that they appear to be parts of shoes worn by a male person and a female person, I have nothing further to say" (Bones file).
