"...the bones appeared to be part of a human finger, although they could also be from a turtle,..."That narrows it down.

This can’t be right. She and Fred ended up in stasis chambers in the Delta Quadrant.
Pretty interesting story. I wonder how long they supposedly lived as castaways.

Interesting. Thanks for the post. What a horrible fate if she actually did end up on that island and lived out the rest of her life there. Or she could have been injured and died...I hope that someone solves the mystery before I’m gone.

Gillespie said the bones appeared to be part of a human finger, although they could also be from a turtle, and had been sent to the Molecular Science Laboratories at Oklahoma University for DNA analysis. Question: Why couldn't they wait until after the DNA analysis to make an announcement?
Answer: Because they are looking at raising funds!

On the serious side... I also hope that one day we will know what actually happened to her.

Love the photo. Something about the way she looks always strikes me.
P.S. It looks like Harpo may be the originator of the “boob belt”.

I read a book awhile ago with LOTS of references, etc. Trying to figure out WHY Amelia went down. It was very interesting. Started out with her early history and huge flights (first woman across America, Atlantic, etc.).
One of the possibilities was that a poorly labeled radio antenna switch (from talk to morse-code) was a factor. At the quarter-hour she would try to reach the island on voice, and on the hour and half-hour by voice. But - she might have had it backwards. I think it was also the “beacon detector” - it could swivel so she could turn it to get the best signal from the island and follow that strong signal in.
Also, the monitoring systems on the island didn’t have enough power - so they used a ship in the bay. However, the ship was still on Hawaii time, 2.25 hours off or something. I’m not clear on all of those details, but it was something like that.
The investigation of her missing came up with numerous new rules, etc. One of them was Greenwish Mean Time so everyone would be running on the same time.

she’s like the missing link— every few years someone finds a bone on a remote island and they claim it’s her.

Sounds like the exact book I read a while back. Was it The Search for Amelia Earhart by the late Fred Goerner? Excellent book...

Amelia Earhart was definitely a striking woman. Not in the traditional definition of beauty, but there is something about her that would make her stand out clearly in a bevy of beauties. An otherwordly intensity.

I saw an excellent documentary or docudrama that offered the same possibilites. Perhaps it was based on the book you’re referencing, because it was very good.
