Chatters, who studied the bones for a month after they were found, came under suspicion. He has maintained his innocence from the start. But he said he couldn't help the corps much because the agency hasn't released the inventories it says don't match up. Egan questioned why the corps waited so long to announce the discrepancies that apparentlywere noticed in 1996. And he asked why a corps scientist had put a third pubis bone in the Kennewick Man box if the agency really knew the contents.
Humans only have two pubis bones.
