This from Josh Gates' Twitter page:

Gates is on the right. Presumably the other gentleman is John Grey, the person who found the box/skull in 1969.
Gates' Twitter page says he's in Peru today. Guess nothing came of the bones find.
Oh my I just connected some dots, this is the "TV documentary producer" that this lead came from? I know I'm judging the messenger here, but has anyone here actually seen his work? "Documentary" isn't necessarily the most appropriate term for what he produces. Perhaps the precis from Travel Channel will give the picture:
"Expedition Unknown chronicles the adventures of Josh Gates as he investigates iconic mysteries across the globe. Gates begins by interviewing key eyewitnesses and uncovering recent developments in the story, then springboards into a fully immersive exploration. This authentic, roughshod adventure leads Gates closer to the truth behind these unanswered global enigmas, such as the disappearance of Amelia Earhart’s plane.
Josh Gates is an adventurer and avid explorer with a unique brand of humor and passion for off-the-map excursions."
Hopefully those "off-the-map excursions" don't include Niku! And, no I'm not suggesting this necessarily effects the potential veracity of the new bones lead.
