Interesting details about one of the longest running search efforts

I thought they had already extabished where she crashed?


It's my impression that there are conflicting plausible theories.

I think the idea of tossing out pig bones to see just where the 2 1/2
foot (!) crabs drag them off to is pretty ingenious. The crabs may
have traditional eating areas that don't change much from decade to
decade, and that would be good place to start looking for DNA. If
Earhart and Noonan perished on a island covered with 2 1/2 foot crabs
they would be intimately involved in a "crab feed" shortly after
demise.



Are they still finding her luggage everywhere?
