Stolen Amelia Earhart Statue From N.L. Town Has Been Found — Cut up in Pieces

HARBOUR GRACE, NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR, AUG 11 – All parts of the 300-kilogram bronze Amelia Earhart statue were recovered after being found cut into pieces, with police investigating the motive behind the theft.

  • In April 2025, a life-sized bronze figure of aviator Amelia Earhart was taken from a park in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, and was later recovered several months afterward, found disassembled near Heart's Content.
  • The theft occurred late one night in April, and the statue commemorates Earhart’s 1932 solo transatlantic flight from Harbour Grace to Northern Ireland.
  • Harbour Grace RCMP recovered all statue parts after receiving a tip, and the cuts on the over 300-kilogram statue were clean and deliberate.
  • Mayor Don Coombs emphasized the statue’s importance to the community’s heritage and expressed eagerness to have it reinstated at Spirit of Harbour Grace Park, its rightful location.
  • Officials intend to collaborate with the original artists to restore the statue before reinstalling it at its original location near the airstrip from which Earhart took off on her historic flight.
