Well, it has been nearly 80 years since Amelia Earhart went missing as she attempted to fly around the world. Today her death remains a mystery while the search for her body continues her legacy has never been diminished as foxs lea gabriel reports. Reporter Amelia Earhart easily the most famous female pilot disappeared july 2nd, 1937. The coast guard modally alerted the us navy in Honolulu Hawaii and the us navy began what turn out to be the largest sea and air search for missing aircraft in history and they searched for over two weeks. She was already well known when she went missing during an attempt to fly around the world. In tenyear period, she sky rocked. She was the equivalent of a rock star in her day. And the last flight she made was in 1937 of course she did not complete that flight. Reporter earhart almost completed the trip but the plane went down and her remains were never found. Despite numerous searches in the pacific. They used battleships, they used carriers, they used aircraft, aircraft actually over flew the island while they saw some people had probably lived there at some point, they did not see any evidence of immediate recent activity and certainly no evidence of anyone on the island. There are many other theories out there. It is believed she may have landed on and uninhabited island thousand miles north of figi. Some having her go to other islands to be spying back in the 1937 time era some have her landing on island and being captured by the japanese and executed. Theres another theory for years that she was living as a housewife in new jersey. Two this day, research vessels, archaeologists and forensic dogs are still on her trail. I would almost be sorry if they did find her. Because its that mystique that keeps her legend going. And that legend is an inspiration even today. In new york, lea gabriel, fox news.
