Did Amelia Earhart get captured

Answer 1

No one knows for sure what happened to Amelia Earhart. There are a lot of theories as to what happened to her when her plane was lost. The two most popular are that her plane ran out of fuel and crashed into the ocean and sank, and the second one was that she was captured by the Japanese and held prisoner, and probably later being killed.

In June 2012, an international aircraft recovery group, TIGHAR, announced that they had credible evidence that Earhart's aircraft came down on Nikamaroro, a tiny atoll about 300 miles south of Howland Island, where she was due to land and refuel. Quoting evidence generated from analysing dozens of radio calls and artifacts found on this tiny atoll (including a jar of the same face cream Amelia used) they theorised that she put down on this atoll rather than fly a further 300 miles oversea to Howland, and after putting down here, ran one of her engines to power a generator to allow voice radio transmission, thus running totally out of fuel. - The atoll was barely above sea level and it was hypothesised that subsequent large waves picked up the aircraft and deposited it in deep water surrounding the reef.

Answer 2

Probably not, but no one knows for sure.

Amelia Earhart went missing while on a flight around the world and was never found. The exact location, wreckage, and other details of her disappearance are still a mystery. Recently however, there has been some interesting speculation:

For all intents and purposes- NO. Lindbergh"s wife was a licensed pilot, which may be responsible for the confusion.
