"We don't know wether it's her plane, but what we have is a debris field in a place where there should be a debris field. If what we had put together based on the evidence that we had is correct." Said Ric Gillespie, executive director of The International Group for Historic Recovery.(Abcnews.com)
When Gillespie was on the expedition to find Amelia's plane he said he was bummed because he didn't see anything in the coral reef from the video camera. They used a high definition camera but it couldn't be viewed in real time, so they sent it to a forensic analyst. On Tuesday he got a call and the forensic analyst said there's stuff here, it looks man made.
The last thing that Amelia said over the radio was that she was on the line 157337, which is the two Islands near Howland Island. Expeditions in the past they had found freckle cream and lotion. Which woman in the 1930s would have bought. They think it could have belonged to Amelia because it was found on the coast of Nikumaroo Island and that's where they think she had landed.
