Experts In Forensics Might Finally Uncover The Mystery Behind Amelia Earhart’s Disappearance

When we list some of the most iconic women of the modern era, there is a big chance that Amelia Earhart would be on it. She was written into the history books after becoming the first female pilot to ever fly across the Atlantic Ocean. But, unfortunately, on her attempt to cross the globe in 1937, she disappeared and was gone without a trace. Or was she?

On A Glorious Journey

As of May 21, 1932, Amelia Earhart went to become the first lady to fly non-stop over the Atlantic all alone. She was on her own so, obviously, there was a lot of danger that was there. After her 4th hour of flying, she had some issues. “I saw flames shooting from the exhaust pipe,” she revealed, “I became uneasy…It would have taken four hours to return, however, so I thought it would be safer to go ahead.” Her tank had leaked.

Finally Discovered?

So since she was such a memorable woman for what she achieved, Amelia quickly gained fame. And following years of heavy speculation and inspection, several researchers might have the answers to finally unlock the secrets regarding Earhart’s intriguing tale. Where did she disappear to all those years? The curious case of Amelia Earhart may be uncovered…

Additional Evidence

And though Tighar’s discoveries were impressive, there was still a number of people who were skeptical about Gillespie’s announcement. A critic wrote, “everybody should have facts to back up [their] opinions, and Mr. Gillespie, well, he doesn’t.” But these people did find an “ointment pot” that seemed to be a Dr. Berry’s Freckle Ointment. She was conscious about her complexion so, “Earhart had freckles and is known to have considered them unattractive,” Gillespie explained.

Maybe A Spy?

There is yet one other urban legend being circulated. There is another speculation on the reason for Amelia Earhart’s trip. Rumors arose that the former president Franklin D. Roosevelt was actually sending Earhart on a secret mission, that she was a spy. After a successful mission, the pilot came back home to the US and lived under a new alias, Irene Bolam. There are no facts to back this rumor up.

Captured?

This photo also led to another speculation regarding Amelia Earhart. Some claim that this was clear proof that she was actually abducted by the Japanese on her attempted flight to cross the Pacific. The photo allegedly has Amelia’s flying partner Fred Noonan on the Jaluit Harbor of the Marshall Islands. Journalist Amy B Wang explained that “a figure with Earhart’s haircut and approximate body type sits on the dock, facing away from the camera.” This is still a topic of debate till now…

A True Story Or Not?

In the year of 1960, an elderly American coastguard called Floyd Kilts recited a story he had heard of 14 years ago. The tale was of a man who was walking through Nikumaroro and met with an incredible incident. “There in the brush about 5ft feet from the shoreline he saw a skeleton,” Kilts recalls, “What attracted him to it were the shoes. Women’s shoes, American kind…” Could this have been Amelia Earhart’s shoes then…?

A Safe Landing

It seemed as though Amelia should have failed at attempting to cross the Atlantic. But she ended up beating the odds. And within 20 hours and 40 minutes after taking off from Trepassey Harbor, Newfoundland, Earhart reached Pwll, nearby Burry Port, South Wales. “After scaring most of the cows in the neighborhood, I pulled up in a farmer’s back yard,” she stated. A farmer allegedly asked, “have you flown far?” which she answered, “from America.”
