Odd because the Island was temporarily inhabited starting in December 1938 (appr. Earhart crash was July 1937). You'd think signs of a plane wreck and/or habitation would have still been visible then and come across at some point during the time people lived there.

You never heard that part of the story growing up.

Maybe they shouldn't have covered that up.

Tapania Taiki, who lived on the island in the 1950s as a little girl, says she remembers an airplane wing on the reef near the village, and the elders told the kids to stay away from it because it had something to do with the ghosts of a man and a woman. Emily Sikuli, who lives in Fiji, left Nikumaroro in 1941, but says her father showed her airplane wreckage on the same part of the reef, and that human bones were found in the area.

It was all just speculation up to this point. With this new airplane part confirmation that might change.

If I am marooned there, I'm cooking the shite out of those crabs. Not the other way around. I would guess water and seasonings for a boil might be hard to come by though. And beer.

How do you keep them off of you long enough to get some sleep?

Instead, they made a forced landing on Nikumaroro' smooth, flat coral reef. The two became castaways and eventually died on the atoll, which is some 350 miles southeast of Howland Island.
the smoke monster got them

I pile fish guts away from my campsite. I learned this years ago.
How do people in MS keep flies out of the kitchen? Easy, they just put a bucket of shite in the living room.

Reason #846 to always keep a pack of chackbay crab boil with you at all times.

What about the exploration group that went there for three days three months after she supposedly crash landed there? Seems like they would have seen something. They explored the island pretty well for three days and no mention of finding anything of an airplane or survivors. I guess it's possible they just didn't see anything.

The other technique they use is just to burn the shanty down and live in the barn, but the farm animals get restless from the smell.
Go State, and take Ole Miss with you.

if she was really a secret spy for the US govt its very possible they did find her and covered it up.
