Archival research and nine expeditions to the [[Phoenix Islands]] have uncovered a compelling body of supporting evidence. Archaeological excavations during the [[Niku VI (2010)]] next expedition, scheduled for May/June 2010, will aim to recover artifacts from which Earhart’s DNA can be extracted. The expedition will also include a deep water search off the atoll’s fringing [[reef]] for the wreckage of the [[Electra|airplane]].&quot;[http://www.tighar.org/Projects/Earhart/AEdescr.html]&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
