I would say with the blond curly hair that she is probably Larry.

Subject: Re: news feed: new photo may show Emilia Earhart after crash
So, let me get this straight [and pre-empt next season's exclusiveshock revelation photo revelation] .... Does this mean that AmeliaEarhart was really Shemp Howard? Alasdair's silence on the matter just makes this more compelling.Denis- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Denis GojakPO Box 457Newtown NSW 2042Australiae [log in to unmask] 0400 474 405- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ----- Original Message -----From: "HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY" To:Cc:Sent:Wed, 12 Jul 2017 03:59:02 -0700Subject:Re: news feed: new photo may show Emilia Earhart after crash The History Channel has form with misrepresenting photographicevidence. This time last year I was in Argentina helping to film what turnedout to be a couple of episodes of the History Channel show 'HuntingHitler'. More complete details (including my reasons for agreeing toparticipate in the first place) are available in last year's Fall SHANewsletter, but one point is particularly relevant here... The first episode of the second season begins with someonemelodramatically throwing a photograph of an elderly man down on thetable and declaring that 'this is a photograph of Hitler in Misiones[province, Argentina]'. Unfortunately, that photograph turned out to be an elderly Moe Howardfrom the Three Stooges, apparently sourced from this website:http://web2.airmail.net/~/z1528052/ (scroll down the page and look forthe photograph directly under the headline 'MY PAL MOE by Bob Bernet'when the main story begins). Once a few observant people on theblogosphere pointed this out, the photograph mysteriously disappearedfrom most later episodes, with a subsequent 'scientific test'obscuring Moe's face, and reaching the conclusion (unsurprisingly)that Moe wasn't Hitler (or vice versa) after all. I stress that I had absolutely nothing to do with that rather awkwardsegment, but it does rather help to display the level of academicrigour being used in these programmes - even the ones that don'tinvolve aliens. And no, they didn't find Hitler either, oddly enough. Alasdair Brooks
