A Canadian woman who found a beloved Amelia Earhart statue stolen from a community says that, rather than receiving a reward, she has seemingly become a suspect in the caper. The peculiar case began back in April when a sticky-fingered ne'er-do-well snatched the sizeable bronze depiction of the pioneering pilot from the town of Harbour Grace, which prides itself on being the origin point for the aviatrix's historic 1932 transatlantic flight. The statue, sadly cut into pieces, was subsequently discovered in August by a woman who now laments that the serendipitous find has landed her under the proverbial microscope of authorities and the subject of speculation among some community members.
