New evidence suggests Amelia Earhart died as castaway

Amelia Earhart’s longer-than-average arms may hold the key to figuring out how she died.
A new examination of skeletal remains found on a deserted Pacific island three years after the trailblazing pilot went missing suggest she died as a castaway — not in a plane crash, the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery reported.
There's evidence that Earhart made more than 100 radio transmissions from the location after her plane went missing.
Earhart vanished in July 1937 on an attempt to fly around the world solo, a feat that would have made her the first woman to do so. Neither her plane nor her positively identified body was ever found.
