     New evidence of Amelia Earhart being captured by the Japanese has shown up within the past month or two. If this photo evidence is true, it means Earhart was captured in 1937, the years leading up to the United State joining World War II. Multiple facial identification experts say it is likely that the woman in the photo is Amelia Earhart, but other evidence has shown up too. Airplane parts and jars manufactured in the U.S. have been found which heavily supports the capture theory of Earhart. Many still choose to believe the theory that she crashed into the ocean, this is a popular belief yet no evidence has been found around the area she supposedly crashed, and its costed millions to search the ocean. While we usually think Amelia Earhart died being lost at sea, she might have spent her final days behind bars on a Japanese island.
