The Expert Who Reviewed Earhart’s Newly Found Wreckage Now Reveals What Was Really Inside

The Expert Who Reviewed Earhart’s Newly Found Wreckage Now Reveals What Was Really Inside A forensic anthropologist published a peer-reviewed analysis in 2017. The partial skeleton found alone on a remote Pacific island in 1940 matched Amelia Earhart's known body proportions more closely than roughly 99 percent of the individuals in the entire reference population. That same year, satellite imagery from 2020 was placed under independent analysis. The object sitting in the lagoon is 12 to 14 meters long, has stayed in the same position and shape for over 80 years, and appears in aerial photographs from 1938, one year after Earhart vanished. A permit has now been signed. Sixteen people are preparing to sail six days across open Pacific water to the island where both pieces of evidence converge. What they find when they put a hydraulic dredge on that object will be the most direct physical test this case has ever had. My name is Marcus Reed and let me tell you, the search for Amelia Earhart has been running for 88 years. What most people don't know is that for the last four decades, one team has been quietly building the most detailed evidence file in aviation history, layer by layer, expedition by expedition, on a single uninhabited coral island 400 miles from where the official search ever looked. Here is what the evidence actually shows, and what the lead researchers say it means.
