He’s trying to raise money for a 12th to support this theory, and maybe find Earhart’s plane. Some of that support comes from Earhart’s radio signals seeking help, which investigators say most likely emanated from an area near Gardner Island, Gillespie said. “Earhart made a relatively safe landing at Gardner Island and sent radio distress calls for six days,” Gillespie said in the YouTube presentation. And the airplane still had fuel — not enough to get anywhere, but enough to power the plane’s battery and work the radio, Gillespie said. Gillespie’s Gardner Island theory has its critics, though.
