On July 2, 1937, Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan left the Territory of New Guinea (now Papua New Guinea) en route to Howland Island in the South Pacific -- but they never arrived.
At an event held this morning in Washington, D.C., U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke with historians and scientists from The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) about where the aviator may have gone missing over the South Pacific 75 years ago, the Associated Press (AP) reports.
According to AP, enhanced analysis of a photograph taken just months after Earhart’s Lockheed Electra plane vanished shows what experts think may be the landing gear of the aircraft protruding from the waters off the remote island of Nikumaroro, in what is now the Pacific nation of Kiribati.
Shown above is Earthart with her Lockheed Electra.

Will they leave us no mysteries? I think I'd rather not know, and have at least one mystery to ponder.
I respectfully disagree. There will always be mysteries but if we can solve them we should. The Bible says in Proverbs 25:2 says "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter." God allows us some mysteries to show His glory...there are some things that He knows that we cannot know...but it is our honor to try to search them out. I hope they renew efforts to find DB Cooper. That is a much more interestng mystery to me.
From what I've read, she was a lousy pilot. She should remain lost as a reminder to not be careless or over-confident.
