No, actually she wasn't. That was a rumor, but it has never been confirmed. I think you may bge refering to this 2004 press release which later found to basically be a hoax. http://www.rense.com/general59/amelia.htm
Neither the plane, any confirmed wreckage, her, or her navigator's bodies have been found. There has been one piece of cockpit window screen located on one island in the approximate vicinity, however that piece has no serial numbers on it, and was located on an island that aircraft were known to operate out of during that approximate time period. It could also have been a plant by someone looking for more funding

Actually I saw a two part show on Discovery channel I think a 3-4 years ago. They showed the plane that was found a few hundred yards off a waterless atol, they said it was confirmed to be her plane and showed the skeles that where found, no confirmation could be made to confirm whose, but it was male and female and they died of thirst according to the autopsy of the bones. Of course I could just be remembering it wrong and it could have been a show on the theory that this is what happened.
Was this show based on the hoax you mentioned, I do not know? I will do some searching to try and find out.
Looks like a job for...
MYTHBUSTERS!
