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.
