The headline worth sharing today: Crabs 'The Size of Cats' Said to be Biggest in the World May Have Eaten Amelia Earhart
The fact that it comes from Knewz tells me that the headline is the highlight and the rest will be a slide downhill into disappointment.
But not today. That's because the story actually came out in 2017 and is replicated in many places.
"According to this unproven theory, coconut crabs on the island of Nikumaroro may have come upon Earhart's body after she crash-landed and dismembered her remains. Parts of a skeleton whose measurements "matched the description of Amelia Earhart" were discovered on Nikumaroro by a British colonial officer in 1940, and then lost to history."
That source is Newsweek. They provide the rebuttal in their article:
"Every credible historian says Earhart's Lockheed Electra ran out of fuel and sank in almost 20,000 feet of water. It's expensive and difficult to look in the deep ocean, but I promise you that's where she'll ultimately be found."
And concludes with: Whether or not the Earhart theory is correct, the idea has kept an incredible, terrifying creature in a strange kind of limelight.
