It would be interesting to see whether they do ever resolve the mystery of where she disappeared.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... gests.htmlI recall reading about the skeleton which they found on this remote island; but the numerous radio messages for help was new.
It will be interesting to follow what is discovered by the mini sub. Although, how much is going to have survived all this time in the sea is,I would suggest, a big question mark.

As only the Australians can, they say apparently they had 'dropped off radar'.....................

Seems that there is a high certainty that the skeletal remains found are from Amelia Earhart. Also, they suspect that most of the remains would have been taken and eaten by crabs.

From the BBC
Bones discovered on a Pacific island in 1940 "likely" belonged to famed pilot Amelia Earhart, according to a US peer reviewed science journal.
Earhart, her plane, and her navigator vanished without a trace in 1937 over the Pacific Ocean. Many theories have sought to explain her disappearance.
But a new study published in Forensic Anthropology claims these bones prove she died as an island castaway.
The report claims they are a 99% match, despite an earlier conclusion.
The study, titled Amelia Earhart and the Nikumaroro Bones, was first published by the University of Florida and conducted by Professor Richard Jantz from the University of Tennessee.
It disputes that the remains found on the eastern Pacific island of Nikumaroro - about 1,800 miles (2,900km) southwest of Hawaii - belonged to a man, as a researcher had determined in 1941.
Earhart was known to have been near the island when she vanished during her doomed attempt to fly across the globe.

The actual bones haven't been re-examined, they are lost.
The existing old, descriptions of the bones have been re-evaluated.
