The guy who tossed the bones was, like, almost criminally incompetent. Even if they weren't Amelia Earhart or Fred Noonan's bones, they were still human remains. Who just casually tosses out unidentified human remains like, "Well, it's not someone famous, so who cares?"
@Sky Gardener yea but her being a spy doesn’t make sense why would she put herself in the spotlight. If a spy started to get really well known I have a feeling they’d not want her as a spy anymore. Especially if a “spy” mission was a trip that would make world history, and if anything went wrong there would be millions of people alarmed.
Ok even if it wasn’t Amelia Earhart’s bones on that island, clearly someone was stranded on there and died there. Who was it? Why did no one look further into it? They were just like if it’s not a famous body we just don’t care.
This was back in the 30s/40s, they really had no way of identifying bodies then. Those bones could have been there for a century for all they knew, they didn't even have carbon dating
I think theory 2 is what most likely happened. Ameilia was an experienced pilot who knew what to do under pressure. I think she landed on the island and eventually died with Noonan due to a lack of supplies. Then, they were eaten by crabs.
Crabs yes but good pilot no. She crashes often. Lands at wrong place often. Makes bad decisions mostly. Like marrying Putnam. She was right. He ended up killing her by pushing her into a flight without paul Mantz and harry manning. Pilot and radio man.
@@neatstuff8200 you have to remember this was the 1930s? Planes were much less reliable and equipment much less advanced than it is today. In 2015 an entire commercial airliner vanished from the face of the earth, it’s not unlikely that she had a major malfunction over water and couldn’t contact anybody to help her. You can’t tarnish her legacy because of what most likely was a mechanical failure mid flight.
Both Noonan and Earhart didn’t know Morse Code or CW as it’s know and Earhart had poor knowledge of there Radio equipment that is why they disappeared sadly.
Planes don't just crash when they run out of fuel, they can glide for miles depending on the height. Depending on the sea conditions it could even have been a soft landing
Maybe, but with the strong head winds they were reporting that’s unlikely. She probably lost altitude quickly, maybe even took a nose-dive if the winds were strong enough
'Half the reason that half the cases are unsolved bcoz some people found the evidence and were like, too much work, thrown em' this is sad but so truee
yessss, i listen to true crime all the time and the unfortunate reason why so many of these cases aren’t solved is because they fail to do the most basic things.
Okay, I'm not sure of Emilias shoe size, but what if she wore shoes that were a size or 2 too big so she could wear multiple pairs of socks. It gets really cold up high and old planes weren't as insulated as modern ones so she would have needed to bundle up
There's a difference between a metal behemoth of a ship that they knew what happened to and an extremely light and small plane where they don't where in the world it even is close to.
@@froggytimmy8643 well tbf the titanic was gonna be somewhere in the atlantic ocean and wasn't all that close to where it sank AND split in two, but amelia's plane(if it crashed in the ocean) shouldn't have been all that far from the last place they reported, near the island.
@@alibrooks7495 I'm saying that if that were true, the plane would be so light, it literally wouldn't exist anymore. It would have been pulled to pieces in the ocean, the bodies would have rotted, and any remaining tiny pieces of the plane would be sent around the world by the currents.
And then your parents start asking if you're Amelia Earhart. "It's ok if you're Amelia sweetheart, your father and I still love you all the same." "Mom! I'm not Amelia Earhart! How can you even ask that?" "Well I just wanted to be sure. You're sure? Because I'll be honest, we lost you at the mall one time and you could have easily been switched out. We wouldn't have noticed." Of course, the irony is we now live in a world where someone can claim to identify as Amelia Earhart, and it's an "-ist" to ask for evidence.
@@VitZ9i enjoyed that comment until the end sentence, where i am going to be generous and assume you were suddenly and briefly transported to an alternate universe where that made any sense and had any reference point in reality
saw a comment that said "the scary thing is that Earhart and Noonan are the only people on the planet who know the truth" but the scariest thing is what if they aren't??
@@kaylanierivera1114 right. especially now thag the government has told the truth about aliens being real, thats a great possibility thats what happened, either that, the spy thing, or the coconut crab thing.
Shane really hits the nail on the head (for once) when he points out how many "unsolved mysteries" are marked by carelessly lost or discarded evidence.
Nick Hentschel not even just evidence just poor work in general one woman got kidnapped after calling the police 3 times and no one was sent they even investigated the crime scene poorly
True, but I'm making a more specific point: in science (including criminology, or even ufology and cryptozoology), it's a breach of ethics to destroy or omit either your raw data or the evidence you tested. For example, in this case, the bones on Nikumaroro.
What annoys me about her story is that you KNOW that some douchebags from back then said “see? This is why women shouldn’t fly!” Amelia was such a badass and I’m glad she stayed in the public eye
The funny thing is, they did find Amelia's remains, but the man who investigated her bones said her skeleton was too sharp and angular to belong to a girl.
I find it interesting that Earhart was also particularly involved with women's issues and supporting women's aviation. She fought for changing the draft to include men, women, and elderly, and she promoted birth control. She wrote books about society's gender roles and their stupidity. And then at the height of her fame, she vanished. That's fishier than that combed ocean. ALSO, I would like to point out that Amelia Earhart earned all these achievements and awards without military training like most male aviators had, and because she was a woman, she had a smaller, less expensive plane than male aviators had, and she STILL beat male aviators asses.
Niksa Nico It wasn’t proven that she crashed into the ocean, and even if she did it wasn’t her fault lmao. Someone feels threatened it’s possible for a woman to achieve more then men huh 🤔
I think it's possible that Earhart and Noonan crashed in the ocean and while the plane was sinking that's when those messages the girl found were heard, like they were stuck inside and couldn't get out. Noonan obviously never made it off the plane either dying on impact or after the crash. However, Earhart was able to figure a way off the plane and swam to that nearby island where she built that fire and where the Sekstant was found. The studies of the bones that were discovered later showed that they could have belonged to a taller than average woman and Earhart WAS TALLER THAN AVERAGE, and that makes it definitely possible that the bit of shoe sole was hers as well. I mean, I'm about 5'8 ish and my feet are about 9 1/2 - 10 inches in size. Regardless, she attempted to survive as long as she could, but without a source for food and probably sustaining many injuries, it makes sense that she wouldn't have lasted more than a week if she could find water. If no water was to be found then that would cut it down to a few days. Especially given the brute force the elements would have had on her. In the end, she died of starvation and her body wad eaten by the coconut crabs, explaining why only 12 of the bones remained. It's not unsolved, people just like the air of mystery that hangs about it. It's also extremely easy to fly over your destination, especially back then with less advanced navigation. There are dozens of cases of pilots going missing due to getting caught in jet streams and losing their navigation. Earhart is no different considering the radio message told us that she was way higher than she was supposed to be. In conclusion, the only unsolved bit is what happened to the rest of the plane, and the absence of Noonan's body. Either way. Thanks for listening to my TED talk lol.
Theory: Just wanted to mention something that has become apparent to me after watching this episode many times. The shoe that was found and deemed not Amelia’s due to the fact that it was a too big for her I believe was overlooked. It’s very common for legs and feet to swell while travelling, especially by plane. I believe it’s very likely it was her shoe, and because of said swelling she may have worn larger shoes.
If she was around 5'8 or 5'9 a size 9 in mens wouldn't be over the top huge. Big, sure, but maybe she had big feet? Add on thick socks, a roomier shoe to make up for having to wear them for long stretches, and the slight swelling factor.
What about Noonan? If they were planning on travelling together then they probably bought equipment and stuff together, so from the same brand. Size 9 for a man is much more likely?
Fun story, maybe nsfw- Some years ago while driving down a very long road on the way to the beach, my bladder was ready to burst and I couldn't hold it in any longer. We passed by an old abandoned church and it was the only place I could pee. I went behind it and did my business. When I looked up I read a sign 'This stone was placed in the memory of Amelia Earheart' and it had an image of a plane and her birth and death. I looked down at my puddle and stared in horror. It was square in the middle of the site. I ran back to the car and we pulled off. I later learned that that church was a historical site. I got home and searched her up and was mortified. Now every time I read her name, I think about that fateful day where desperate times called for desperate measures.
Well try not to beat yourself up you had no way of knowing, plus I know from experience how an extremely full bladder can change the way someone thinks.
Haha this made me laugh. I’m sure it’s a simple mistake anyone in your position could’ve been in. At least you acknowledge it & learned the history of Amelia through the memorial; bitter-sweet.
Same. And I thought everyone thought she got lost in the bermuda triangle as well. I even remember watching documentaries of her crashing somewhere in the Atlantic. It really messes me up I think this is an example of the mandela effect.
What if she got stuck in another dimension where she’s either forever flying or repeatedly trying to land on the island she was supposed to but it’s just a loop
While I like the idea of the picture of Earhart and Noonan on the island what irks me so much is Hoodless who disposed of the bones. Even if they weren't Amelia's it's obvious someone was on that island and something or someone died there and the bones should have been sent in for diagnostics. Even if the technology wasn't up to snuff they could have kept the evidence preserved. Like I said even if it's not Amelia that's someone's body if not a larger animal
They find a sole of a shoe the same brand she’s been pictured wearing but it’s a size 9 so couldn’t be hers...what size shoe was the male navigator who was with her in the plane? 9?
It's also perfectly within the realm of possibility that she did actually wear size 9's. I'm within her estimated height range and wear size 9 shoes. If you look at height to shoe size averages for women, it's completely plausible that size 9s would have fit her. Even if her feet were smaller, she could have been wearing larger shoes (as others have pointed out) to wear more layers of socks and insulate herself better.
@@carolinemcguire6224 great point! They didn’t actually say that wasn’t her size, they just assumed it wasn’t. Surely that’s quite easy to check? Her friends/family would probs have vaguely known her shoe size
Im a girl shorter than Amelia, and I have size 9 shoes, I'd say with a few layers of socks or a thick pair of socks it's very possible that the shoe was hers.

Please do an episode about the Hash Slinging Slasher. He is so creepy and has commited many murders. He likes to sneak into local restaurants and terrorize the employees. And the scary thing is... He's never been caught. I get the chills just writing this.
people are ignoring the fact that in the radio call amelia earhart said "The water is knee high" i think the plane crashed and begain sinking so that they were trapped in a airpocket in the plane, and therefore she said the water was knee high
or the plane crashed in the water, close to the island. They got to the island and the plane sunk, but then low tide made the plane visible for a short period of time, making the radio usable until high tide. A few hours later and its was low tide again and they went back. Repeat the cycle till they ran out of coconut water and died, then the crabs eat their bodies and some idiot throws out the bones.
Random question, but are they fast? Crabs freak me out because they look like spiders. Tasty spiders, but still. I'm now picturing those massive crabs with spider-level speed and.. I'd never go near the beach again.
Freak80MC we do hunt them but not like that. Natives of our island are the only ones who are allowed to hunt and eat them. And there’s a season for us to hunt them (sorry I don’t know the months specifically)
Donald J Gump Official they didn’t know her shoe size, they said based on her height it was too big, which is correct because it could easily be a 9. I used myself as an example
So glad I’m not the only one! This whole time I’ve thought he was a bit taller than me (I’m Asian so I’m shorter than most at 5’2.5) at maybe like 5’5-6 but DANG 5’10?! I was baffled to say the least
right! i didn't understand that part. maybe it was because humans used to be like, smaller? i'm 5'6 and wear a 9-10. the average female shoe size is also a 9, and the average female height is 5'4, which i know women that are that height with that shoe size, sometimes even shorter.
I realize that, but no one wonders about the navigator. Just like in the music industry, song writers are always over looked for the artist. My point is that he is just forgotten.
I want to thank Ryan and Shane for telling me more about Amelia Earhart than my actual history books. I never knew that she went missing or had a navigator with her when she did, so it also allowed me to understand the Amelia Earhart joke in Night of the Museum.
You guys should do a series of 'True Crime Solved'. As much as I like learning about the unknown of our world, I also like understanding why people do what they do. It would finally give Shane some justice as well.
yess like talking about cold cases that were eventually solved and still getting into the previous theories before solved but then telling the answer to the mystery and discussing it.
even if he didn't save the bones cause he saw no future purpose, it's still kind of fucked that he threw them out instead of maybe figuring out who's bones they are edit: can we stop editing our comments and saying 'thanks for the likes'
He's almost as inept as the people who were investigating the bodies of the Hinterkaifeck Farm, the case from an older Buzzfeed Unsolved Episode, who lost the heads of the family members while performing autopsies.
Channels like this really help me! I started a journal and I have these pages where I include a piece of history and this is something I wanted to include and you made this possible!
My great grandmother always told me stories about the lady who was rescuide by my grandfather. She told me that he was out fishing when an airplane crashed into the ocean. He rowed closer and was able to help a young woman out of the plane. She kept saying "we have to help him" but my grandfather didn't see anyone else on the plane as it sank into the ocean. The lady died 3 days later because of her injuries. My grandmother was of Japanese desendance she lived in the Marshall island so, its possible I don't know.
Amelia Earhart’s disappearance was actually solved! She crashed onto an island, and once she was able to send transmissions of distress calls, operators ignored and disregarded them. She ended up dying of illness on the island. (Yes, I know this is an old episode. Just thought it was interesting.)
Ananya T I Think: Since the crash was a long time ago, the system that tracks that stuff wasn’t advanced and would probably glitch often, so they paid no attention to it.
@@baraamando8115 Ive read a lot about Earhart over the years, and a lot of the information I brought up is really easy to find! I have seen a lot of different studies about the solving of her case recently, and I thought it would be interesting to bring up. If you wanna read more about it, I recommend doing a few quick internet searches on investigations and such like I did.
@@annietanjavur4080 From what Ive read, people either chalk it up to technical glitches (such as Cynthia pointed out) or - according to some other sources - misogyny and such.

bro what. It was a tiny plane with 1930's technology crossing a massive ocean with no communication, with frequent storms. It's not far fetched to say it just got caught in a storm or something malfunctioned, and it sunk to the bottom of the ocean.

I think I remember a documentary that I saw at school that made a theory of Amelia Earhart and her copilot being on an island of Japan. They could have been held prisoner there. Experts used a photo of Amelia to compare with a photo taken in Japan with a woman similar looking to Amelia.
I guess they forgot about the time Michael Jordan disappeared in order to save the joy of children around the world. We would've never known what happened to Michael on that fateful week if not for the brave journalists at Warner Bros. (and Bill Murray) as they sacrificed everything to give us the documentary released in 1996, Space Jam.

I think the most shocking and craziest thing about this video... Is finding out that Ryan is 5'10!!! I was dead sure he was like 5'4 or 5'5 !!!! LOLLLL
It's not related to the case, really, but as a child, Ameila Earhart was more than a hero to me. She was so important to me, eerily so tbh. I'd always find myself drawn to her and there were times she'd find me, find my dreams. Always found it so odd but never scary really.. more, oddly, comforting.
Exactly! Hoodless shouldn't have chucked the bones in case they might be able to work out who it actually was. People might want them for further testing (NEVER chuck out evidence seems to be the main lesson from a lot of unsolved cases) and/or a proper burial.
An interesting aspect of communications with the flight is that Earhart never acknowledged any of the voice transmissions directed toward her airplane during that fateful flight. Ric Gillespie (TIGHAR) believes this was because the receiving antenna was ripped off of the plane's belly during the high-weight takeoff from Lae. The transmitting antenna atop the airplane was fine, so Earhart's transmissions were heard OK. Radio navigation was essential to ensure Howland could be found, so Earhart asked Itasca to transmit a beacon on 7500 kHz which she could track using the Electra's DF loop antenna atop the cockpit. She reported reception of the 7500 transmission, but the loop gave no null so she could not determine a bearing to Itasca. In fact, the problem was that the DF loop was only designed to be directional below 1500 kHz, and Amelia's misunderstanding of this fact was likely what led to her loss. Interestingly, she had tested the DF loop with HF transmissions at Lae, the test of course failed, but she departed anyway. She may well have thought, I will have many opportunities to test the DF loop during this flight by taking bearings on commercial broadcast stations and aeronautical beacons, and I can always turn back if it doesn't work. But it would have worked, because those stations would have been under the loop's 1500 kHz limit. She did not realize the flaw in her 7500 kHz plan. There was a missed opportunity for success at Howland. Even with the loss of her main receiving antenna, she was able to receive the 7500 beacon when her receiver's antenna selector was in the "loop" position. The Itasca did not have voice transmission capability on 7500, but had Earhart left the antenna switch in the loop position when she switched back to 3105, she would have received Itasca's voice transmission on 3105. The Coast Guard had their own plan, which Amelia knew nothing of, to transmit the homing beacon on 333 kHz. If they had 2-way communication with Earhart, they could have tried this plan and she likely would have landed safely on Howland.
Tamara Turner True I misspelled it, which fitted more, but regarding pronunciation, flying planes makes more sense. If it was more (I can’t spell finetic, which is pretty ironic) accurate with how it was pronounced, then I don’t even know what she would have done lol
Probably one of my favorite cases on the show so far. Regardless of what happened to Amelia & Norman, at least they both died doing what they loved & were experts in their field & recognized for it, to the point Amelia is still considered a household name a near century later.
5'7 and never worried about it. in another episode, they showed shane and ryan standing in front of wall measurements, shane is over 6 ft, ryan close to 6ft.
This was solved on International Women's Day 2018 !!!! Her bones were found and identified on an island but it turns out she'd actually been discovered in 1941 but the man thought the skeleton was a short, stocky male because "a woman wouldn't be flying out over here" or some crap. But yeah, she was found and can rest now !!!
I'm a bit late but, their plane and bones were found on May 6, 2021. They were found in Nikumaroro Lagoon! It's crazy how Shane and Ryan managed to make this theory come true. Blow this up!
@@bennettr9218 For me, when I searched up "Where was amelia earhart found?" or "Where was amelia earhart plane found?" it said Nikumaroro Lagoon. Also, I don't think it's been confirm yet though. Additionally, if you look at the images, you can see some photos of her bones and airplane.
@@elghostly yeah, that's what I found too, but I'm fairly certain that they were just articles on the theories of her getting marooned on the island, nothing is confirmed. The images of bones are the ones that were mentioned in this video, (which could possibly have been Amelia's but obviously we will never know for sure), and I have no idea where you found photos of her wrecked airplane from. I personally believe that she did in fact get stuck on the island (since she was very skilled at landing planes in dangerous scenarios), but she would've ended up starving to death there. But obviously there is still no definitive proof, just theories, so we will never know for sure.
Except she didn't have the fuel to be as near to Howland as her radio signals indicated, and a "direct" flight would have required gross navigational errors by Noonan, who was a renown navigator. TIGHAR's claims were debunked by Robert Ballard in 2019.
I have a theory that Nazis Killed her Hitler wouldn’t have wanted an female American to be the first to circumnavigate the globe I think it’s “plausible” a u boat could’ve gone into the pacific maybe sent from a naval base on a Japanese island an have been shot at by said u boat or Japanese plane.
@@georgecant-stand-yeh5451 Unlikely, because she wasn't the first person to circumnavigate the globe. She was the first WOMAN to. The first person to do it was a man named Ferdinand Magellan. Now I'm not denying she was shot down (though I'm not agreeing with it either), but the reason you gave isn't right...
AntiSocial Pleb maybe it was just a random Japanese boat that shot her down but I think the Japanese and especially the Germans would want an Aryan or Japanese person to be the first woman to circumnavigate the world
Amelia Earhart's shoe sole was found on an island, a message was heard in parts of the world, a photo shows what they believe a landing gear sticking out of the water, she also said "Gas is running low." Some dude: idk man i think she's a spy

This was back in the 30s/40s, they really had no way of identifying bodies then. Those bones could have been there for a century for all they knew, they didn't even have carbon dating

@@clintstephens7287 she may of intentionally descended so she could land
yeah look at the case of the miracle on the Hudson losing both engines under 2000 feet and gliding for over a minute

@@alibrooks7495 I'm saying that if that were true, the plane would be so light, it literally wouldn't exist anymore. It would have been pulled to pieces in the ocean, the bodies would have rotted, and any remaining tiny pieces of the plane would be sent around the world by the currents.

And then your parents start asking if you're Amelia Earhart.
"It's ok if you're Amelia sweetheart, your father and I still love you all the same."
"Mom! I'm not Amelia Earhart! How can you even ask that?"
"Well I just wanted to be sure. You're sure? Because I'll be honest, we lost you at the mall one time and you could have easily been switched out. We wouldn't have noticed."

True, but I'm making a more specific point: in science (including criminology, or even ufology and cryptozoology), it's a breach of ethics to destroy or omit either your raw data or the evidence you tested. For example, in this case, the bones on Nikumaroro.
@@TheSaneHatter True. However..when you want to cover something up, ethics go out the window. So..who knows.

I find it interesting that Earhart was also particularly involved with women's issues and supporting women's aviation. She fought for changing the draft to include men, women, and elderly, and she promoted birth control. She wrote books about society's gender roles and their stupidity. And then at the height of her fame, she vanished. That's fishier than that combed ocean.
ALSO, I would like to point out that Amelia Earhart earned all these achievements and awards without military training like most male aviators had, and because she was a woman, she had a smaller, less expensive plane than male aviators had, and she STILL beat male aviators asses.
beat male aviators asses = crashes into ocean

wow school totally f-ed up this story, I thought she got lost in the Bermuda Triangle by herself

Same
That’s what I heard in school too. They stated as a theory rather than a fact at least.
@@khkayla6575 that's what I was told
Same
I think it's possible that Earhart and Noonan crashed in the ocean and while the plane was sinking that's when those messages the girl found were heard, like they were stuck inside and couldn't get out. Noonan obviously never made it off the plane either dying on impact or after the crash. However, Earhart was able to figure a way off the plane and swam to that nearby island where she built that fire and where the Sekstant was found. The studies of the bones that were discovered later showed that they could have belonged to a taller than average woman and Earhart WAS TALLER THAN AVERAGE, and that makes it definitely possible that the bit of shoe sole was hers as well. I mean, I'm about 5'8 ish and my feet are about 9 1/2 - 10 inches in size. Regardless, she attempted to survive as long as she could, but without a source for food and probably sustaining many injuries, it makes sense that she wouldn't have lasted more than a week if she could find water. If no water was to be found then that would cut it down to a few days. Especially given the brute force the elements would have had on her. In the end, she died of starvation and her body wad eaten by the coconut crabs, explaining why only 12 of the bones remained. It's not unsolved, people just like the air of mystery that hangs about it. It's also extremely easy to fly over your destination, especially back then with less advanced navigation. There are dozens of cases of pilots going missing due to getting caught in jet streams and losing their navigation. Earhart is no different considering the radio message told us that she was way higher than she was supposed to be.
In conclusion, the only unsolved bit is what happened to the rest of the plane, and the absence of Noonan's body. Either way.
Thanks for listening to my TED talk lol.
Theory:
Just wanted to mention something that has become apparent to me after watching this episode many times. The shoe that was found and deemed not Amelia’s due to the fact that it was a too big for her I believe was overlooked. It’s very common for legs and feet to swell while travelling, especially by plane. I believe it’s very likely it was her shoe, and because of said swelling she may have worn larger shoes.
And thick socks because of the cold.
Besides, I wear 1.5 sizes bigger because I’m a waitress and walk a lot.
If she was around 5'8 or 5'9 a size 9 in mens wouldn't be over the top huge. Big, sure, but maybe she had big feet? Add on thick socks, a roomier shoe to make up for having to wear them for long stretches, and the slight swelling factor.
Yes, that's what I was thinking! Also, I don't see how size 9s are that implausible. I'm only 5'6 and I wear size 8 shoes.
What about Noonan? If they were planning on travelling together then they probably bought equipment and stuff together, so from the same brand. Size 9 for a man is much more likely?

Fun story, maybe nsfw- Some years ago while driving down a very long road on the way to the beach, my bladder was ready to burst and I couldn't hold it in any longer. We passed by an old abandoned church and it was the only place I could pee. I went behind it and did my business. When I looked up I read a sign 'This stone was placed in the memory of Amelia Earheart' and it had an image of a plane and her birth and death. I looked down at my puddle and stared in horror. It was square in the middle of the site. I ran back to the car and we pulled off. I later learned that that church was a historical site. I got home and searched her up and was mortified. Now every time I read her name, I think about that fateful day where desperate times called for desperate measures.
Well try not to beat yourself up you had no way of knowing, plus I know from experience how an extremely full bladder can change the way someone thinks.

Ada Sweet like just before she crashes and dies it starts over again
While I like the idea of the picture of Earhart and Noonan on the island what irks me so much is Hoodless who disposed of the bones. Even if they weren't Amelia's it's obvious someone was on that island and something or someone died there and the bones should have been sent in for diagnostics. Even if the technology wasn't up to snuff they could have kept the evidence preserved. Like I said even if it's not Amelia that's someone's body if not a larger animal
Yeah like no matter who they were or how you found them, don‘t fuckin just yeet HUMAN REMAINS?? Into the bin??? That‘s a PERSON dude fuckin hell
They find a sole of a shoe the same brand she’s been pictured wearing but it’s a size 9 so couldn’t be hers...what size shoe was the male navigator who was with her in the plane? 9?
his existence just disappeared in their minds
@@DTMQ clearly, no one seems to be looking for him...seems like that could easily be his shoe.
It's also perfectly within the realm of possibility that she did actually wear size 9's. I'm within her estimated height range and wear size 9 shoes. If you look at height to shoe size averages for women, it's completely plausible that size 9s would have fit her. Even if her feet were smaller, she could have been wearing larger shoes (as others have pointed out) to wear more layers of socks and insulate herself better.
@@carolinemcguire6224 great point! They didn’t actually say that wasn’t her size, they just assumed it wasn’t. Surely that’s quite easy to check? Her friends/family would probs have vaguely known her shoe size
Im a girl shorter than Amelia, and I have size 9 shoes, I'd say with a few layers of socks or a thick pair of socks it's very possible that the shoe was hers.

Me in the dark: oh man I'm really freaked out what if I crash land my plane on an island and get eaten by crabs
people are ignoring the fact that in the radio call amelia earhart said "The water is knee high"
i think the plane crashed and begain sinking so that they were trapped in a airpocket in the plane, and therefore she said the water was knee high
I think she was talking to noonan to let her out of the plane because she was using the radio inside.
That's the radio call heard by that girl, not a legit one.
or the plane crashed in the water, close to the island. They got to the island and the plane sunk, but then low tide made the plane visible for a short period of time, making the radio usable until high tide. A few hours later and its was low tide again and they went back. Repeat the cycle till they ran out of coconut water and died, then the crabs eat their bodies and some idiot throws out the bones.

Amelia Earhart’s disappearance was actually solved! She crashed onto an island, and once she was able to send transmissions of distress calls, operators ignored and disregarded them. She ended up dying of illness on the island.

9/11
9/11 is more of a conspiracy theory rather than it being completely unsolved
It’s unfortunate what happened to her. I can’t imagine what she felt/gone through when she crashed.
i dont know why i com onto this video, expecting them to solve it even though it is legit called "unsolved mysteries"
Probably metal plastic and glass and mabye her own knees
@@gregorysweet867 💀💀💀
It would have been an instant death so no suffering unless she let the plane down lightly and they drowned or got eaten by crabs or sharks
@@gregorysweet867 mate 😂
I think the most shocking and craziest thing about this video... Is finding out that Ryan is 5'10!!! I was dead sure he was like 5'4 or 5'5 !!!! LOLLLL
ZoeyZoco I'm 5'4
ZoeyZoco I think anyone next to shane would probably give the impression of being 5'4 lol
ZoeyZoco I felt a 5'7-5'8 vibe
So therefore he's over stretching and actually 5'9 and shoes make him 5'10

It's not related to the case, really, but as a child, Ameila Earhart was more than a hero to me. She was so important to me, eerily so tbh. I'd always find myself drawn to her and there were times she'd find me, find my dreams. Always found it so odd but never scary really.. more, oddly, comforting.
Even if Earhart wasn't marooned on that island somebody else obviously was.
Right? If it wasn't Earhart, I want to know who was!
Exactly! Hoodless shouldn't have chucked the bones in case they might be able to work out who it actually was. People might want them for further testing (NEVER chuck out evidence seems to be the main lesson from a lot of unsolved cases) and/or a proper burial.
They should really investigate
Dang just random human bones its no one famous welp on 2 the next
sufficientlyoldskool exactly
getting eaten alive by giant crabs sounds pretty terrifying honestly
Agreed horrible way to go out
That is why the navy does not want you to know.
Probably wasn’t alive
Bones get thrown away

An interesting aspect of communications with the flight is that Earhart never acknowledged any of the voice transmissions directed toward her airplane during that fateful flight. Ric Gillespie (TIGHAR) believes this was because the receiving antenna was ripped off of the plane's belly during the high-weight takeoff from Lae. The transmitting antenna atop the airplane was fine, so Earhart's transmissions were heard OK. Radio navigation was essential to ensure Howland could be found, so Earhart asked Itasca to transmit a beacon on 7500 kHz which she could track using the Electra's DF loop antenna atop the cockpit. She reported reception of the 7500 transmission, but the loop gave no null so she could not determine a bearing to Itasca. In fact, the problem was that the DF loop was only designed to be directional below 1500 kHz, and Amelia's misunderstanding of this fact was likely what led to her loss. Interestingly, she had tested the DF loop with HF transmissions at Lae, the test of course failed, but she departed anyway.
She may well have thought, I will have many opportunities to test the DF loop during this flight by taking bearings on commercial broadcast stations and aeronautical beacons, and I can always turn back if it doesn't work. But it would have worked, because those stations would have been under the loop's 1500 kHz limit. She did not realize the flaw in her 7500 kHz plan.
There was a missed opportunity for success at Howland. Even with the loss of her main receiving antenna, she was able to receive the 7500 beacon when her receiver's antenna selector was in the "loop" position. The Itasca did not have voice transmission capability on 7500, but had Earhart left the antenna switch in the loop position when she switched back to 3105, she would have received Itasca's voice transmission on 3105. The Coast Guard had their own plan, which Amelia knew nothing of, to transmit the homing beacon on 333 kHz. If they had 2-way communication with Earhart, they could have tried this plan and she likely would have landed safely on Howland.
HAH! Y'all clowns still ain't find me.

Eye-
Bro where'd you go!?
Amelia Earhart lmaooooo
Girl you gotta set our ghoul bois straight!
With a last name pronounced “Airheart” you kind of are just destined to do something with a plane.
Clumsy Studios lmao
There's actually a name for that haha. It's called Nominative Determinism (which literally means something like "name determines").
Caitlin Well airheart is a perfect example
Well, it’s Earhart so you could argue that she should have done something with ears.
Tamara Turner True I misspelled it, which fitted more, but regarding pronunciation, flying planes makes more sense. If it was more (I can’t spell finetic, which is pretty ironic) accurate with how it was pronounced, then I don’t even know what she would have done lol
I love the mustaches used to illustrate assumed names
Gina Marsh g
Probably one of my favorite cases on the show so far. Regardless of what happened to Amelia & Norman, at least they both died doing what they loved & were experts in their field & recognized for it, to the point Amelia is still considered a household name a near century later.
*looks at bones*
“this aint it chief”
Throw ‘em out!
These bones don’t belong to nobody. Get rid of ‘em! Now.... back to my hunch.
"Burn them all!"
Random Fandom Trash-- why he burn it tho it’s like he wanted her to go missing
Random Fandom Trash I think he threw out the bones because he lied about how it wasn’t them
"I'm 5 foot 10 damn it!!" - Every guy 5'9 and under.
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
31webseries when your under 5’7 every 1/16 on an icy matters(I’m 5’8) and I hear my friends say “I’m 5’4 and 3/4!!!
I'm 5'3" and have no problem w it
31webseries a buddy once asked me why “girls who are 5’9 seem taller than boys who are 5’9?” I said “because the girls aren’t lying” 😂😂
5'7 and never worried about it. in another episode, they showed shane and ryan standing in front of wall measurements, shane is over 6 ft, ryan close to 6ft.
This was solved on International Women's Day 2018 !!!! Her bones were found and identified on an island but it turns out she'd actually been discovered in 1941 but the man thought the skeleton was a short, stocky male because "a woman wouldn't be flying out over here" or some crap. But yeah, she was found and can rest now !!!
Metradell Vy'orei why what happened like did she crash there n die or ?
Metradell Vy'orei they were found in Russia in a hot dog costume
no that was just a woman skeleton. it COULD be Earhearts, but probably just a different person
Doubt if it was her
Queen Rena they said they’re 99.5 % sure that it was her
I'm a bit late but, their plane and bones were found on May 6, 2021. They were found in Nikumaroro Lagoon! It's crazy how Shane and Ryan managed to make this theory come true. Blow this up!
is it confirmed that it's her? do you have a source?
if that was true, it would have been worldwide news...
@@loganbigmo that’s what im thinking. I googled what the guy said and nothing came up
@@bennettr9218 For me, when I searched up "Where was amelia earhart found?" or "Where was amelia earhart plane found?" it said Nikumaroro Lagoon. Also, I don't think it's been confirm yet though. Additionally, if you look at the images, you can see some photos of her bones and airplane.
@@elghostly yeah, that's what I found too, but I'm fairly certain that they were just articles on the theories of her getting marooned on the island, nothing is confirmed.
The images of bones are the ones that were mentioned in this video, (which could possibly have been Amelia's but obviously we will never know for sure), and I have no idea where you found photos of her wrecked airplane from.
I personally believe that she did in fact get stuck on the island (since she was very skilled at landing planes in dangerous scenarios), but she would've ended up starving to death there. But obviously there is still no definitive proof, just theories, so we will never know for sure.
I'm really starting to think they landed on the island and ended up dying there
Except she didn't have the fuel to be as near to Howland as her radio signals indicated, and a "direct" flight would have required gross navigational errors by Noonan, who was a renown navigator. TIGHAR's claims were debunked by Robert Ballard in 2019.
I have a theory that Nazis Killed her Hitler wouldn’t have wanted an female American to be the first to circumnavigate the globe
I think it’s “plausible” a u boat could’ve gone into the pacific maybe sent from a naval base on a Japanese island an have been shot at by said u boat or Japanese plane.
@@georgecant-stand-yeh5451 Unlikely, because she wasn't the first person to circumnavigate the globe. She was the first WOMAN to. The first person to do it was a man named Ferdinand Magellan. Now I'm not denying she was shot down (though I'm not agreeing with it either), but the reason you gave isn't right...
AntiSocial Pleb maybe it was just a random Japanese boat that shot her down but I think the Japanese and especially the Germans would want an Aryan or Japanese person to be the first woman to circumnavigate the world
@@georgecant-stand-yeh5451 Yes, I agree that they would rather have one of theirs be the first. So maybe they did lol

hahaha XD
if only larry asked her how she died...
@@narozan2769 on god
Amelia Earhart's shoe sole was found on an island, a message was heard in parts of the world, a photo shows what they believe a landing gear sticking out of the water, she also said "Gas is running low."
Some dude: idk man i think she's a spy
why didn't they have more then one scientist examine the bones you don't know if he made mistakes
