What difference does it make?
Sounds like someone is asking for money.
They have found something, they are a long way from proving it’s Earhart’s plane.
Who? Kiribati, you might like to know, is an island nation in the Pacific Ocean, the Gilbert chain, has about 100,000 permanent residents, and is a member of the United Nations with a vote equal to that of the United States.
I didn’t know she was driving a Buick when missing.
Links not responding. Maybe they’re swamped?
The Republic of Kiribati, the sovereign nation of which Nikumaroro is a part, ....This is joke, right? Where is Kirackatchee and which part of Nigunomoreomar and what THF nation are they?
I sure appreciate your contacting me. My great grandfather, Samuelly Heney, was one of the principal investigators into the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, the famed woman aviator whose plane disappeared over the Pacific in 1937. Unlike other investigators, Samuelly was convinced that she overshot all her targets and ended up marooned on an island somewhere in the Indian Ocean.
In a bizarre twist of fate, his own plane crashlanded on Sri Lanka in the early 1940s, and while he survived, he was unable to repair his plane. He spent several years in a suburb of Colombo before meeting a young adventurer named Pari McKuster. Samuelly and Pari ended up buying a boat and sailed eastward. They ended up in modern day Burma, where they helped squash a rebellion by the Ewoks, a native people who lived in the interior of the country. As a result, the ruler of Burma, Vut KiRiprip, the so-called “Cardinal King” sent them on a special mission to Jakarta, where he was trying to find the kidnapped prince of Singapore. Samuelly went on alone, as Pari had become an invertebrate (you know, confined to a wheelchair). Although he scoured the area, Samuelly never found the prince, who, it was assumed, died of polio. Disenchanted, he eventually moved back to Nebraska, where he took a job as the manager of one of the first McDonalds franchises in the Great Plains. There, he met a Sumatran woman, and they relocated.
But back to your client and your situation. It is a sorry, sorry situation and heart-breaking (no pun intended). Were you close with him or her? That must be tough on you, as well. My condolences. I know it has been six whole years since the tragic disaster in Indonesia, but the pain never fully subsides, you know?
If I am the lone survivor, and the money you speak of would rightfully be mine, please let me know how we should proceed in this matter. Although the whole idea of the inheritance is new to me, I think it might be appropriate to take some portion of the money and put it toward a memorial to my distant relative and all the other victims of the tsunami, those who died, those who didn’t die but died later, those who still might die, and those of us who are the living ones who have memory of things and so forth and such. I’d appreciate your thoughts on that, too.
I look forward to your sincere and most speedy reply,
Paul
The subject came up last year. Their press release from then had the old B/W pictures of what looked like a piece of landing gear and a few other odds and ends on the beach.
That’s what they were basing last years search on.
The found a sonar image which may or may not be the wreckage of the Electra. This is the same group which has in the past claimed to have found evidence of Earhart only to later back track. I’ll wait for a corpse or actual airplane parts
This is a top-priority message from TIGHAR.
I represent the financial secretary of The Republic of Kiribati, a sovereign nation and member of the United Nations. My name is Nikumaroro and I am in possession of treasury notes equivalent to 500 million US dollars. These funds were found on Emelia Earhart’s crashed aeroplane.
In exchange for my passage and sponsorship to the United States, I am willing to evenly divide these funds with you.
Please send me your personal bank information (account and routing numbers, please) so that I might deposit the funds prior to arriving in the US. You will be designated as my immigration sponsor.
All this information is strictly above-board as you can see by my inclusion of my close personal friend and US Secretary of State, Mr. Jon Cary in the distribution list of this email. Accordingly, I will request you furnish the “Jon Cary for President” campaign fund an appropriate contribution.
Please replay to my missive at your convenience.
Your sincreely,
Nikumaroro
Earhart has become like Bigfoot almost ready to be found.

And a hottie...
Earhart was a pilot of modest talent, but she was in over her head on her around-the-world trip. If she had been lucky and everything had gone right it was possible she would have made it (and she did make a large portion of the trip successfully).
The distance from Lae, New Guinea to Howland Island was over 2200 miles. It was well within the range of her plane, but even a few hours of spare fuel would have been eaten up pretty quickly if she didn’t home in Howland right away. There is some evidence that the antenna on the belly of her plane tore lose on takeoff from Lae. In any case there was a lot of confusion about which radio frequencies would be monitored, and when, and there was never any reliable two way communication established with Earhart after she took off from Lae.
The Navy had a ship (Itasca) stationed at Howland Island, and they heard Earhart on the radio as she got relatively close to the island, but it appeared that Earhart could never hear them (maybe that missing belly antenna came into play). It was a tough task finding a small island in the middle of the Pacific ocean, and with communication difficulties it would have been just that much harder.
The simplest explanation is that Earhart ran out of fuel and crahsed near HOwland Island. However TIGHAR has made a logical argument that Earhart could have headed southeast (to the area they’re concentrating on) after not being able to find Howland Island. The Electra that Earhart flew was a relatively rare plane and if any verified pieces of an Electra are found in the area Tighar is searching it would be hard evidence that Earhart made it to that area.
Why not just ask Dale Jr. where the old Buick was hiding?
Here we go again, ping....

For the love of god, people; let it go. She was a mediocre pilot who attempted a crazy dangerous stunt, got lost, ran out of gas, crashed and died. Enough already; let her rest in peace.
