In April 2007, the catamaran Kaz II was found drifting off Queensland.

The engine was still running. A Sunday paper was on the table. A coffee cup was still upright.

Three men had sailed her out of Airlie Beach. No one was aboard, and nobody was ever found.

CASE 005 is live.

@data_globe On Roanoke, one detail that often gets left out of the lists: the colonists had agreed to carve a cross if they were in danger. In 1590 John White found the word CROATOAN and no cross. That doesn't close the case, but it does narrow what "vanished" can mean.

@RogsRabbitHole That's the right distinction. The official report describes a tidy kitchen and a lamp left ready to light, not a meal abandoned mid-bite. The "God is over all" log lines often repeated with this case are later embellishments too, not entries from the keepers' log.

@Dark_Archives0 The Buxton bottle is a useful caution in this case. It was taken seriously at first, then shown to have been written by the man who said he found it. The Cape Lookout lightship hail is still one of the few facts fixed in time: lost anchors, and then the crew is gone.

@_glorianas Shoreline change on the Outer Banks is a real problem for this case. One caution: the 1587 settlement itself was on Roanoke Island. White's 1590 clue, CROATOAN, pointed to the people and island we now call Hatteras, and some search areas there are still on land.

Before John White left Roanoke in 1587, the colonists agreed on a code. If they moved, they'd carve where they went. If they were in danger, they'd carve a cross above it.

In 1590, he found one word on the gatepost: CROATOAN.

There was no cross.

I go through each of these records in CASE 006: https://t.co/Q5HWC7vhvZ

[Cold Signal Mysteries @letsgonevermind]

Earhart's last logged transmission, at about 8:43 in the time recorded aboard Itasca, referred to a line numbered 157337. That is not a set of coordinates locating the aircraft on an island. Drawing that line on a map cannot by itself confirm a route to Nikumaroro.

[Cold Signal Mysteries @letsgonevermind]

The 2026 search weakened the claim that the Taraia object was Earhart's Electra. The broader castaway hypothesis still needs evidence that can be securely authenticated and connected to the aircraft or its occupants. What would actually change this case for you?
