Earhart and Noonan left for tiny Howland Island, their stop for the refueling on July 2 and that was the last date when Amelia was seen alive. During their travel to the Island, they lost their radio contact and disappeared en route.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt organized a 2-week expedition for the pair who was never found unfortunately. And finally, on July 19, 1937, both were officially declared lost.

There are several theories proposed for the incident – what happened during the travel. Some said that their plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean, but actual report is still missing.

Amelia Earhart Found – Sink and Crash Theory

According to the theory – their plane ran out of the gas and it got crashed into the open ocean somewhere on the island.  Even the high tech sonar and robots had miserably failed in detecting the location of their plane crash.

Gardner Island Theory

The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) speculates that Amelia and Noonan landed some 350 miles on the Gardner Island (Nikumaroro). Just after the plane was disappeared, some Navy planes flew over the place and noted some signs of habitation but they didn’t find any clue of an airplane. TIGHAR believes that both may have lived for weeks before dying.

Some of the facts include the pieces of Plexiglas, improvised tools and women’s cosmetic jar, bones that appeared like that of a human figure. (8.1)
