Next month, a non-profit foundation dedicated to aviation archaeology and preservation will be launching a 10-day expedition to locate Earhart's plane in the waters off Nikumaroro Island.
They have some credible supporting physical evidence.

"The search relies on what Gillespie called "the most exciting breakthrough" -- a photograph of the island's western shoreline taken three months after Amelia's disappearance.
"It shows an unexplained object protruding from the water on the fringing reef," Gillespie said.
Forensic imaging analyses of the photo suggest that the shape and dimension of the object are consistent with the landing gear of a Lockheed Electra. Gillespie said they have reason to believe that Earhart's airplane went over the reef edge near the spot where the object appears in the photo."
The Discovery Channel is going with them and filming the endeavor.

I hope they find something. That would be awesome, although very sad if it turns out she survived there for days or weeks and the searchers simply missed seeing her when flying overhead during the search.
