Taipei Times: Fate of Amelia Earhart prompts jail excavation
An old Japanese jail in the Northern Mariana Islands is to be excavated in an effort to end decades of speculation about the disappearance of famed aviator Amelia Earhart, officials here said yesterday..."In the past there had been rumors that Amelia Earhart's plane was shot down and she was held captive by her Japanese captors on suspicion that she was a spy. Later she was burned and buried at the back of the jail," Historic Preservation Office (HPO) director Epiphanio Cabrera said....A year after the Earhart disappeared, a French consul sent a telegram to the US State Department, claiming she was a prisoner on Saipan, and some locals still insist she died in captivity and was buried on the island.

She was captured then later burned and buried?? So what did they burn her at the stake then bury her or give her a bit of a singeing and then bury her alive? :roll:

Amelia Earhart was a barely capable flyer with several crashes to her credit and probably sink somewhere in the vastness of the Pacific. :roll:

Earhart, Amelia

American aviator, b. Atchison, Kans. She was the first woman to cross the Atlantic by airplane (1928) and the first woman to make a solo flight across the Atlantic (1932). She was the first person to fly alone from Honolulu to California (1935).

The fate of Atchison native Amelia Earhart, the famed aviatrix who in 1937 disappeared while flying across the Pacific, will be the subject of a feature film based on a screenplay by a former Kansas Citian.

. . . The evidence, Dow said, strongly suggests that Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, were captured by the Japanese and later died in captivity.

They could have been prisoners for as long as two years,&#12539]more[/B]

Many years ago, I was an official representative attending the so called "Liberation Day" festivities on Saipan marking the day they were freed from Japanese rule and I was introduced to a Priest who had been on the island since when (?).

He told me that he had very reliable first hand reports of a red headed man (likely Noonan), being executed by the Japanese prior to the onset of the war. He had been brought to the island with a woman, who to all stories had not left the island. The priest for his part, firmly believed it was Amelia Earhart.

I can probably find his name and notes I made at the time and even though there was no supporting facts, it sure does make an interesting war story.
