They found Amelia Earhart . . . again . . . maybe

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.

They found the same picture in a book published a couple of years before she disappeared. It wasn't her.
 
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.:D

I think we have da winna!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A crew says it found Amelia Earhart's plane. It could take years to confirm.

A crew led by Tony Romeo, the founder of underwater exploration company Deep Sea Vision, said they captured an image of what might be Earhart's Lockheed Electra.

We have so many unresolved mysteries out there, Hoffa, D.B. Cooper, JFK, Roswell, the list is endless.

Captains Earhart and Noonan are part of that lore even though we are not too far from the century mark on its anniversary.

Back in that day, 1937 was only 34 years from the Wright Bros. so aviation was still an oddity. If you think Murphy's Law is bad now you can imagine what it was like then under those conditions.

Anything could've happened...we will never truly know although I hope that is wasn't both of them dying a slow death as castaways on a desert island.

Most likely they ran out of fuel and went in the drink.

If it is their plane that was found, at least it provides closure to the casebook...and in that regard should be left alone as a grave just like numerous ships over the centuries until the sea gives up her dead.
