Dick Gillespie has been researching this for many years. He was one year ahead of me in high school and I remember his interest in Earhart back then.

His family owned Gillepsie Dairy.....yummy ice cream!!

the Electra, did not crash in the ocean and sink, as it was assumed after the futile massive search that followed the aviatrix’s disappearance on July 2, 1937.

AND they know this how?...

The odds would be staggering that being lost and out of gas she would see an island and be able ditch without injury.

Is it just me or does Amelia come off as an arrogant and smug little twit to other people as well?

I don’t know...but seems the MSM loves to be conned by attractive simpletons who could not ‘make-it’ in a real world one-on-one with real world odds and actual facts. Amelia was only a so-so pilot and a worse navigator. How other experienced flyers didn’t warn her off her exploit is beyond me.

Lindbergh was another one of these flying, featherbrain simpletons. Maybe he was a better flyer than she was but he sure wasn’t real level-headed, politically.

I think I reached the saturation point with MSM manufactured ‘heroes’ a very long time ago. However, the American eagerness for these dubious deities is ravenous…and public discernment in assessing their authenticity is constrained by nothing!!!!

Let’s get this right. The bones they found are now ‘lost.’ The glass jar embossing cannot be read because it is ‘dirty.’

This is the level of journalism to which msnbc rises?

Three pieces of a pocket knife and fragments of what might be a broken cosmetic glass jar

Do they really think she used cosmetics?

This period in aviation was exciting and had many icons. My favorite was Roscoe Turner. Not only was he from my little town I had the privilege of knowing his family and taking care of his sister's animals for years. I started collecting pictures of him twenty years ago and have been really lucky finding them.
