Investigators say they've found key clue to fate of Amelia Earhart

Investigators think they've uncovered a key clue that will lead them to solve the mystery of what happened to legendary aviator Amelia Earhart, who disappeared on a trans-Pacific flight 75 years ago.

Ric Gillespie, executive director of The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR), said a new enhanced analysis of a photo taken on the Pacific atoll of Nikumaroro, formerly Gardner Island, three months after Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan disappeared, may show the landing gear of her Lockheed Electra protruding from a reef.

“We found some really fascinating and compelling evidence," Gillespie said at a news conference in Washington on Tuesday.

She's dead and her remains are under water somewhere, mystery solved.

Never understood the fascination with finding people after such a time has passed that they would be dead regardless, as if figuring out where and how they died would somehow make a difference. It's really a very morbid pursuit.

i guess from my part is she was a huge part of american history. how did she die? what happened that fateful day.

i find it facinating and would like to see us put some closure on it.

I think they are going to make a discovery channel show out of it.

Until they find the wreckage and prove me wrong, I believe she crashed way short of where they have always searched. I believe she crashed on New Britain Island. I believe the wreckage an Australian Patrol in WWII discovered and wrote down a number from an engine cowling is her plane.

The problem is the wreckage is so far short of Howland Island that no one believes it could be Earhart and the guy who has the Patrol Map never gets any funding for a search. If this story interests anyone let me know and I'll try to find the links. I have e-mailed the map owner many times. I may do so again and send him this link to get his input.

Funny that you bring this up. I checked the CNN article to see if it had any mention to this, but it did not. Since this has a conspiratorial platform, take from it what you please, but I found it rather interesting.

I love mysteries...and this is a big one.

I remember hearing about it really for the first time like I did a lot of them on...In Search Of.
