Earhart went missing in 1937. She had a husband and other heirs. They sold the car at some point and eventually the current owner bought it. The car was stolen last week.
I know. I also assumed the car disappeared 80 years ago. It would have made a great story if it turned up after eight decades. As it is, the story is a "nothingburger".
Thanks for your reply. Too bad the author couldn’t be bothered to do the proper research in order to write an article worthy of publication.
