I think the folks that have focussed in on this island. I think this group's story fits the info the best.
Landed on the reef at low tide, able to send radio messages for a while, but the aircraft washed off
of the reef later into deeper water. A few possible artifacts and bones found, too.
This is my personal choice as best of all the theories out there. Mostly because there were many radio
amateurs who picked up her signals and were disbelieved at the time, thought to be hoaxers. I suspect
that they got some calls out for a while (hours? days??) but radio reception at sea level is only night
skip, super irregular, even though it CAN be heard for thousands of miles if conditions are right, just
impossible to predict WHERE.
A forensic anthropologist says he's 99 percent sure bones found on this Pacific Island belong to the lost Amelia Earhart.
