    Excellent article - thanks. I watched a documentary about her on Netflix (I think) and they talked about people on HAM radio's hearing what they thought was Earhart's voice sending distress signals years after her disappearance. There were also the rumours that she was captured by the Japanese during Second World War, after they invaded the Marshall Islands in the Pacific. But the most convincing for me is the Nikumaroro Island theory - artifacts including a period bone pen-knife, a 1930's makeup box and women's moisturiser container have all been found there over several expeditions... but still no sign of the plane wreckage, or indeed any human remains. It remains a mystery - but a fascinating tale of heroism and adventure.
