Explorer may have found wreckage of Amelia Earhart’s plane in Pacific

A former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer says he believes he has found the wreckage of Amelia Earhart’s plane, which disappeared nine decades ago, on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean using sonar data from a deep-sea drone.
Hoping to solve an 87-year-old mystery, explorer Tony Romeo plans to launch a mission later this year or next to find the long-lost plane, which a massive U.S. search failed to do in 1937.
“She’s America’s most famous missing person, right? As long as she’s missing, there’s always going to be somebody out there searching,” Romeo said. “If we can help bring closure to this story and bring Amelia home, we’d be super excited.”
Earhart, an American aviator, became the first woman and second person ever to fly solo and nonstop across the Atlantic in 1932.
