What ever happen to Amelia Earhart?

"Regarded as a feminist icon, Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean- a very respectable achivement in those days. She set many other records and wrote best-selling books about her flying experience. Known as the "Queen of the Air", Amelia disappeared over the Pacific Ocean near Howland Island when she attempted to make a "circumnavigational" flight of the globe in 1937."

Have you ever wondered what ever happened to Amelia Earhart? With so many speculations, it still remains a great mystery until today. Some believed that her plane ran out of fuel, crashed and sunk down into ocean while others believed she became an American spy on the Japanese in the Pacific on the request of Franklin Roosevelt, the President of the U.S in 1933.
It's amazing how some even claimed that Amelia came back alive only returning in a different identity and had named herself Irene Bolam. Bolam obviously denied being Amelia Earhart and this was apparently proven by Kevin Richlin, a professional criminal forensic who studied the facial measurements on Bolem and Earhart and found many differences.

Sometimes I wonder how the world can come up with various interpretations on what really happen to Amelia Earhart. I suppose we'll never know.

Maybe someday God will tell me..!
