New post on Nat. Geo. site about the giant coconut crabs on Nikumaroro Island. "King thinks it’s likely that Earhart perished on the island as a castaway. After she died, the crabs consumed her body and dragged her bones into their burrows—except of course for the thirteen that Gallagher discovered....

I always thought she was abducted by space aliens.
