Well, she's not there, so where do we go from here?
The ten Steps to where's Amelia.

Amelia's Lockheed Electra was within 75 miles of her target Howland Island when her radio cut out. The US sent nine ships, 66 aircraft, and well over 3,000 sailors and airmen. They covered well over 250,000 sq. miles of open sea and every island within a 650 mile radius of Howland.

Step 2
Itasca's Associated Press Newsman James Carey 23, was on the search and wrote: "At 10:37 am, the radios are going full blast. The Itasca set off full speed ahead to search the northwest quadrant off Howland as the probable location of Earhart if the plane were afloat or rubber float were used. All morning nothing was seen."

Amelia Earhart was an American heroine, a record-breaking aviator, and a celebrity world wide; but Earhart was not a spy -- she was a decoy.
