Amelia Earhardt, Where Are You?

Deep-Diving Explorers Set Out To Find Her

It's one of the greatest mysteries of our time. There's the question of what happened to Jimmy Hoffa, how many gunmen killed John Kennedy and... whatever happened to Amelia Earhart?

Come the Spring, David Jourdan and his underwater exploration outfit, Nauticos, hope to find out.

Jourdan plans to scan 1,000 square miles of ocean bottom 17,000 feet deep, in hopes of finding out what happened when Earhart and her co-pilot, Fred Noonan, disappeared in 1937. They were on a 'round-the-world flight when Lockheed Electra simply disappeared near Howland Island in the Pacific.

The last time anyone heard from Earhart was on the radio, July 2nd, 1937. She and Noonan had departed Papau, New Guinea. Some time later, Earhart called out that she only had 30 minutes of fuel remaining and there was no land in sight.

This isn't the first time Jourdan has gone deep looking for evidence of the pioneering pilot. Two years ago, on the 65th anniversary of the history-making flight, Jourdan had to abort his mission after suffering technical problems. A scan of the area in 1999 found no conclusive evidence of the Electra's fate.
