Former U.S. Treasury Agent Les Kinney discovered the photo in National Archives records in 2012, which is revealed in investigative documentary “Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence,” airing Sunday, July 9 at 9 p.m. on History.
The photo, which Kinney believes must have been taken before 1943, shows a ship towing a barge with an airplane on the back with several people on a nearby dock. Two independent analyses by Doug Carner and Kent Gibson said the photo appears to be legitimate, according to People. Carner determined it had not been altered, and Gibson, who specializes in facial recognition, said it’s likely the individuals are Earhart and Noonan. They both recognized the ship in the photo as Koshu Maru, a Japanese military vessel said to have captured the duo after their crash.

Who knows if that is her, there really isn't much to go on.

Seems like for US to have a photo of it that means "they'd" have known, which means they would have used it as war propaganda to further rally people to the war.

If I know the back of her head like I think I do, then yes 100% probably.

Do you think this is Amelia?
The formerly top secret pic released in 2012 show a man and women who were captured by the Japanese and died in custody as POW's. The pic also shows what is thought to be her plane too (in the extreme background). It is thought they were blown off course and then were captured.

I was just reading this story. Completely fascinated here. If the picture was indeed accidentally filed and this guy found it, I wonder if the government would possibly make a statement as to the validity of the claim of her being a spy.
What an interesting turn in the story. I have always been fascinated by this and the DB Cooper story.

Is her navigator supposed to be standing behind her on the left?

Fred Noonan is supposed to be the guy on the far left.
It actually appears to look a lot like him, especially from the "ear portrusion" he had, for lack of a better term.

How tall was Noonan? The guy on the left does appear taller than the others in the photo. This is an interesting photo. Certainly circumstantial...yet they don't appear to be POW in this picture.
Does anyone have any detail on when this pic was acquired? It certainly makes more sense that they may have been recovered...then detained when war broke out.
