If the three bone fragments they found were hers, shouldn’t there have been some pieces of the plane around?

There is a lot of aircraft aluminum used in the now-abandoned village on Nikumaroro, whether as small scraps used in building, or for crafts and handiworks, such as women's hair combs or inlay. Some of it is from a B-24 that crashed on a nearby island.

Some of it does not appear to be military, as it does not have military paint. Some has the same rivets used in an Electra, Earhart's plane.

Other small aircraft parts have been found on Nikumaroro, but no conclusively identified as coming from an Electra.

Natives said there was a plane on the reef in the late 1930's. The documentary discusses the tides, and water levels would have reached above waist level in an Electra cockpit. The plane wouldn't have stayed there long.

I don't believe any researchers have been to Nikumaroro in about ten years. Obviously, somebody needs to explore the water around the reef . . . unless all they want to do is sell books based on what they know so far.
