Earhart's Last Distress Calls

Amelia Earhart, the famous pilot, likely survived her 1937 crash and sent distress signals for weeks. However, authorities immediately presumed them to be hoaxes and did not investigate further. A Florida teenager and her father may have overheard her post-crash distress calls on a shortwave radio for hours, writing them down in a notebook that is now with Earhart's crash investigators. Current evidence supports a theory that she crashed on a remote island and was eaten by coconut crabs.
