Earhart's Final Resting Place Believed Found

In 1937 Amelia Earhart attempted to be the first women to fly around the world. Unfortunately Earhart disappeared somewhere between New Guinea and Hawaii. Now the mystery maybe over. Richard Gillespie has been searching for Earhart for many years. Gillespie has found evidence that Earhart may have landed on Nikumaroro island. Nikumaroro island is a small desert island between New Guinea and her next landing site on Howland Island. In 1940 British Colonial Service officer Gerald Gallagher recovered a partial skeleton of a castaway on Nikumaroro. A woman's shoe, an empty bottle and a sextant box whose serial numbers are consistent with a type known to have been carried by Noonan, Earhart's co-pilot, were all found near the site where the bones were discovered.

After reading this story and a few other ones about this discovery I believe that this is Amelia Earhart. I believe that that Earhart had gotten lost and had turn around to find a way back to New Guinea, but was unable to reach her destination. She then had to land on Nikumaroro or had to make a crash landing in the ocean. There are a few things that I am not sure about, but never the less I do believe that Earhart and her co-pilot lived out there lives on Nikumaroro island.

Either way this is a very sad ending to a very old mystery. I can't imagine having to live out the last few years of my life all alone on an island. It would be a hard dose of reality to swallow. Even if it is Earhart this will only tell us where she died, not how or how long she may have lived.

It just goes to prove that just because the story ended with unanswered question doesn't mean that it is the end of the story. I mean even after 72 years we may final know what happened to American ledge.
