I had a discussion with someone on Facebook who disagreed with me that the Imperial Japanese Navy or the Japanese Government would have been eager to see Amelia Earhart succeed in her quest to complete her around the world flight in record time.
The Japanese government paid an indemnity of $2,214,007.36 to the US on April 22, 1938, officially settling the Panay incident. Some feel the Japanese captured Earhart. The article Also describes a picture of her taken 2 years before she disappeared and made to appear that she was in Japan as a captured or detained individual. What do you think?

I am with SPC Kevin Ford on this one. I don't believe she was captured by the Japanese. I think she crashed and if she made it to an island, those might be her bones

It seems most likely her plane went down, she was on a desert isle where she later died. We love to make up big complicated stories and endings for people, particularly famous ones. The idea that people die in insignificant ways doesn't sit well with us. If famous people can die in accidents with no purpose, then so can we. So a big Japanese conspiracy sounds better to us, no matter how flimsy the evidence.
That there is even bones on an island at all I find to be a minor miracle. It's a big ocean with precious little land and a lot of ways an early aircraft can fail.

Theory has flaws...
1. Amelia Earhart's disappearance was before Japan entered WW2 with skirmish against China in 1937
2. Charles Lindbergh previously received a warm welcome in Tokyo during 1931 after he had to be rescued by a Japanese tugboat during a flight gone wrong
3. If truly captured by Imperial Japanese military as part of war, Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan would be more valuable as live prisoners for political reasons

Amelia Earhart Captured and Killed? New Evidence Debunks History Channel’s Crazy Theory
A new photo supposedly shows the aviatrix was taken alive, but eyewitness testimony unearthed by The Daily Beast shows the claim is false.
