She was attempting to fly around the world in 1937, but radio contact was lost over Howland Island in the mid-Pacific, and never re-established. After an extensive search, neither her body nor the plane was ever found. On January 15, Amelia Earhart was declared dead. Many theories still circulate concerning her disappearance.
