Last I heard, she possibly crash landed on Oak Island. Waiting for an update.

You're just being silly. Everyone knows that D B parachuted out of the plane after stealing Fred Noonan's wallet.

There have been uncounted mysterious disappearances at sea. The only reason that so much and so long-lasting legend has grown up around the Earhart-Noonan disappearance is that Amelia Earhart was a famous personality.

She wound up on an Atoll and gotten eaten by coconut crabs. Saw this last week on youtube
It was Star Trek Voyager.
Yes it was. Delta quadrant should have tipped me off. Enterprise did have a similar episode (North Star), though without the celebrity connection.

This was my first thought as well. The Navy dumped damaged planes and all sorts of junk off their ships. At around 16,500 feet down I'm surprised they got that good of an image...
Sigh. She landed in Vanuatu and spent the rest of her life in an adyllic spot with the one she loved, no pressure, no press.
Ended up with the last known 'Bigfoot' and lived 'happily ever after.'
That'll do it fer sure.
Well, Ambrose Bierce was seen going to Vanuatu too.
It was reported that he said he was going to write a story on her life.

Every year in the USA alone, there are over 2,000 unresolved missing person cases and over 4,000 unidentifiable dead bodies discovered. And people still debate one incident that happened over 85 years ago.

I read a story about 10 years ago that showed a blurry picture that had been found in a Japanese person's possession. It showed a barge with a damaged plane on it, and it looked like it was hers. In the foreground were 2 persons obviously restrained, and the woman looked like her. The theory at the time was that Japan either shot her down or was nearby when she crashed. It further speculated that she was held in captivity until she died.

One TV story version suggested that she could have carried a trailing directional antenna but she did not want the added drag. Also same story said there was a disagreement between pilot and navigator over where to make a crucial turn in route and how to verify that important point on map.

Possibly not the same picture, but there was one photo discovery similar to that which got investigators excited. On further analysis it was identified and determined to be something unrelated to Earhart.

Fred Noonan was a known drunk. I think he got too boozed up on the Papua New Guinea jungle juice and f'd up navigatin'.
We'll see.
Very few people are alive today who remember when Amelia Earhart disappeared in 1937. Plus there are lots of war wrecks in the Pacific.
Jimmy Hoffa will be missing 50 years as of 2025, I remember that as a kid, and I'll be 57 this year.
Stuff like this is basically click bait. It really doesn't matter.

They ditched the plane in the ocean next to a US destroyer and were immediately picked up. On the way back to America, Noonan went overboard in an "accident". Amelia was given a new face and training and began working overseas as a spy, helping the resistance in France. After the war she worked for the CIA and helped to design spy planes. She eventually became the test pilot for the repaired ship that crashed at Roswell. Eventually, she retired and died slumped over a slot machine at Harrah's in Las Vegas in 1975.
Prove me wrong.

OK. My retired slot tech neighbor says she croaked over one his machines at the Desert Inn after a night of passion with Howard Hughes.

She asphyxiated from Lysol.

If you read anything about Amelia, the conclusion is that the was a fair pilot, certainly not a great one. She had many accidents but was fortunately able to walk away from them. She was more interested in setting records than being a competent and capable pilot. She was married to a very wealthy New York publisher whose major hobby was publicizing his wife in every possible way. Basically she was a creation of good publicity and advertising paid for by her husband. Most think that her disappearance was the result of her not having the necessary skills to operate her radio equipment.
