In 1994, when I worked at Archives New Zealand, our national archives, a team of archivists was sent to Fiji to retrieve the British Foreign Office Archives, which were kept in Fiji. New Zealand administered Fiji's government responsibilities until 1986, when coup brought about Fijian self government. During the appraisal of the British Foreign Office records in Fiji, an astounding discovery was made. There was a report dating from 1940 from a minister who travelled around a circuit around islands near Fiji, including one called Nikumaroro, an uninhabited island, upon which the minister had made a strange discovery. The minister found the sparse remains of a flimsy shelter. He found the skeletal remains of a person on the island, including an aluminium sheet, and several other objects that were suggestive of Earhart's brief survival. The skeleton was found with foot bones in Oxford shoes, which Earhart was known to wear. The minister suggested that he might have found Earhart. He made his report to the local branch of the British Foreign Office at Fiji. Gormless handling of the archives discovery meant that while reported in the in-house Archives New Zealand publication, it was not released to international news agencies .

The crashed in Japanese territory theory also includes them being on a spy mission. According to one eye witness she saw her execution and being buried in an unmarked grave. That theory aside, I hope they can get a dive down to the plane wreck site to confirm if it is the right plane and maybe find evidence is they got out or died in the crash

Pretty surprised that it took this long. It’s a sad story, but it’s finally getting a conclusion.

I have a dark feeling that someone sabotaged the plane to wreck because she was a female aviator and they didn't like that if she succeeded!.

All efforts need to be made to salvage the wreckage and return it to Earhart’s relatives in the USA to be displayed in a memorial to Emilia‼️👍🏼🫡
