I think it would be really cool to finally find her remains. Quite the mystery!

They have a better chance of finding her remains than they do finding ONE journalist who isn't filled with anti-Trump hatred.

Amelia Earhart (1897-1937) - piloted a Lockheed Electra and drove a Cord convertible. That right there is a great American story. She will never go out of style ... and people will never stop looking for her.

Amelia Earhart, D.B. Cooper, Jimmy Hoffa.
What difference at this point would any verification make?
The world has moved on without them.

Jackie Cochrane held more records and according to Chuck Yeager was also a better pilot.

She possessed a cool sense of style that would look sharp even eighty years later.

Stop your calls! We have the Post of the Day winner right here!!

Amelia Earhart, D.B. Cooper, Jimmy Hoffa. What difference at this point would any verification make?

Vinnie and Mikey are driving the I-95 in Hackensack, NJ. Mikey sees smoking coming out of a landfill and says,"Hey, Vinnie...look it. Jimmy Hoffa's smoking in bed."

Ditto !

I never DID understand this type of search.

[wideminded]

For some reason people are always mounting expensive expeditions to look for Earhart and promoting TV shows based on the search. Apparently this is a good way to make a living.

Whenever I see a thread about Earhart I know Ric(k)'s name will be mentioned.

My brother and I grew up and went to school with him. His parents owned Gillespie Dairy. Yummy ice cream. :-)

[fella]

Agreed only they are not reporters they are journalists and that is a yuge difference. (see the film “Deadline USA” for explanation)

[WKUHilltopper]

What a novel approach. Who would have ever thought dogs looked for bones...

[Bratch]

They're wasting their time.

[wally_bert]

I thought it was a good episode.

For the most part, ST Voyager didn’t do much for me.

[BenLurkin]

I knew it!

[keat]

She may well have had one.

[Oscar in Batangas]

At this point, what difference does it make?

Let the old girl lie in peace!

[Berosus]

I heard some bones were found years ago that could have been Earhart’s (they were the right size, anyway), but then they were taken to Fiji and lost there.
