Of all the hypotheses of what happened to Amelia Earhart and her
Electra 10-E, William "Bill" Snavely, Jr.'s may be the only one
that starts with a found plane and traces her route backward
towards her last known contact point. Operating on a hunch that
due to low fuel, Earhart may have decided to turn back to a
viable landing strip, which would have taken her directly over
the path of Buka Island, east of Papua New Guinea. While in Buka
searching for clues, Snavely received a tip that an airplane had
crashed in 1937 and still lays submerged off the coast in 100' of
water. According to Snavely, only roughly 30% of Earhart's route
has been searched and has yielded nothing, so why not search the
remaining 70%? Taking that approach has found a plane that so
far, matches the description of Earhart's Electra. If an
expedition could be mounted to identify this plane more
thoroughly, could it be that one of the greatest mysteries of the
20th Century will be solved once and for all?
