In this paper, we investigate the 2-adic valuations of the Stirling numbers S(n, k) of the second kind. We show that v2(S(4i, 5)) = v2(S(4i + 3, 5)) if and only if i ≢ 7 (mod 32). This confirms a conjecture of Amdeberhan, Manna and Moll raised in 2008. We show also that v2(S(2n+ 1, k + 1)) = s2(n) - 1 for any positive integer n, where s2(n) is the sum of binary digits of n. It proves another conjecture of Amdeberhan, Manna and Moll.
