Our June speaker was Dr. Ian MacKay and his research on the fate of Amelia Earhart. For many years the mystery of Amelia Earharft's final voyage has intrigued Dr. Mackay. There have been many conspiracy theories even including a 1943 movie. Dr. MacKay took a more scientific route. He examined all the evidence and  coordinated the pieces to see what bits corelated with other bits. Finally combining evidence from radio transmissions, skeletal analysis, possible wreckage sightings and geographic proximity to her final destination, Dr. MacKay gave us his theory that  Amelia Earhart crash landed on what is now Nikumarroro Island (formerly named Gardner Island) some 350 miles south of her original destination.
