If you ever watch "Family Guy", there is an episode where Peter and Lois are watching an early episode of "Maude" with the really long intro. One of the lyrics had the following...
Amelia Earhart flew alot of airplanes, except for that one time when she didn't come back.
That part always cracked me up!

Has anyone found navigator Fred Noonan?
If they have a bone, can’t some DNA be extracted and compared to the DNA of someone in the Earhart family?
Da Plane! should still be on the island.
I was going to say, doesn’t “science” “solve” this mystery every year?
“Okay, who wants to write the Earhart story for this year? Don’t forget to make use of ‘science.’”
“Not me! I did it last year!”
“I’ve written three already. If you make me do it again, I’ll introduce aliens. I swear!”
Noonan: "I don't know where we are. . . "
Earhart: "I told you to ask directions when we last gassed up. Men!"
There’s a lot of evidence that she and Noonan were picked up by the Japanese and regarded as spies (which they likely were).
Noonan later died in captivity and Earhart was executed.
Several more recent books discuss this at length (and the supposed evidence, which is substantial).
Every time they have a psychic convention I see signs with directional arrows pointing to the hall it is in.
Why?
“400 miles off course seems like a long way for an experienced navigator like Noonan.”
really he landed right in the Lumber yard
Kato Kalin is living proof Gilligan boinked Mary ann
Cue the women driver pictures we all love so dearly.
We could say the same thing about RICHARD HALLIBURTON. He was sailing a Chinese Junk from Asia toward the US when he hit a storm and was never heard from again. His last radio message was...
“Having a wonderful time! Wish you were here instead of me!”
Now THAT would be using science!

I’m wondering if they know what happened, but they don’t want to say. If they do say, it wouldn’t sell tabloids (with headlines that’ll have Earhart with the space alien’s baby or Noonan with a Titanic survivor).
If they landed anywhere long enough to send maydays for several days, shouldn’t there be TWO skeletons somewhere as well as remains of the aircraft ? If she crashed in the open ocean, she wouldn’t have been able to mayday for several days. If she safely landed somewhere, there should be more than just a single partial skeleton.
Yawn. Old news with a new twist. It’s pretty much already been accepted that they crash-landed on that island and eventually died there.
But it might destroy a book-selling narrative. On the other hand, if the DNA match, they have a potential best-seller.
