Hey there, DETECTIVES! DETECTIVE WRITER here to tell you all about an unsolved disappearance from 1939, the one and only aviation (pilot) pioneer, Amelia Earhart. Now we have all heard of her, especially about the fact that Earhart was the first woman to fly solo (by herself) across the Atlantic Ocean! Earhart helped open a lot of doors for women all over the world to try their dreams of flying.
Unfortunately, after a tremendous adventure and lifestyle, Amelia Earhart went missing on July 2, 1937, at 39 years old and three weeks before her fortieth birthday, while trying to fly a circumnavigational flight of the globe with her acquaintance, Fred Noonan near Howland Island. The plane was a Lockheed Model 10-E Electra and Earhart and Noonan were last seen in Lae, New Guinea. Investigations have continued to this day searching for any trace of them but to avail. It was speculated that perhaps the plane perished somewhere in the Pacific Ocean and almost a year later after her disappearance, Amelia Earhart was declared legally dead.
Do you have any theories as to what could have possibly happened? Why was there no trace of either of them?
