What Happened to Amelia Earheart?
The official theory is that she went down in the Pacific, either due to lack of gas or a technical malfunction. This, however, does not explain why there were no remains found of the plane or its contents. A popular theory is that Amelia Earheart was captured by the Japanese while flying over the Marshall Islands. Conspiracy buffs believe Amelia was a spy, and this would account for her capture and consequent imprisonment. Recently, a theory has resurged linking Amelia Earheart to remains found on Gardner Island, in central Pacific Ocean, which lead to the speculation that Amelia may have crashed and perished on the then-inhabited territory.
