Recently there was rumours that Amelia Earhart may still be alive based on some photographs. Now it seems some are choosing to go the other way and find proof of her remains. Unexplained-Mysteries reports: Was Earhart a castaway on Nikumaroro ? Sniffer dogs have detected possible human remains during an investigation on the island of Nikumaroro. Just days after an alleged photograph of the famed aviator suggested that she may have survived following her ill-fated flight, an expedition to a remote Pacific atoll has yielded possible evidence to suggest that she and her co-pilot Fred Noonan may have died as castaways on a desert island. Led by The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery ( TIGHAR ), the trip had focused on using forensic dogs to look for traces of human bones on the island of Nikumaroro. According to reports, each of the dogs, which had been trained by the Institute for Canine Forensicswere (ICF), suggested the presence of human remains beneath the same tree.
