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

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.
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.
My brother and I grew up and went to school with him. His parents owned Gillespie Dairy. Yummy ice cream. :-)
What a novel approach. Who would have ever thought dogs looked for bones...
She may well have had one.
At this point, what difference does it make?
Let the old girl lie in peace!
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.
Ask the Russians! They prolly hacked her airplane for spying for the Japanese. If Putin hasn’t destroyed her KGB dossier. </satire possibly>
I agree with the theory they crashed in the Japanese mandate islands (Carolines) and were taken to Saipan and executed and/or died there of disease. See Fred Goerner’s “The Search for Amelia Earhart”

Beautiful Electra on display at one of the Chino CA Airport museums.
So why not wait until January to go smelling for them?
