Although some people believe Amelia Earhart didn’t die because she made a perfect landing allowing her to get equipment and a raft to get to a nearby island. While others for instance, believe Earhart was actually a secret agent working for the U.S. government, pointing to her close friendship with Franklin D. Roosevelt and his wife, Eleanor. They suggest that the plane crashed after its pilots intentionally deviated from their course to spy on Japanese-occupied islands in the Pacific, or that Earhart and Noonan landed on one of them and were taken prisoner. Yet another theory holds that Earhart returned safely to the United States, changed her name and lived a long life in obscurity.

Earhart's grandparents, Alfred and Amelia Otis were well off, and although Amelia would know some financial hardship in her teens and twenties, her early life was spent in the midst of plenty.

Earhart was a very independent woman, and prided herself on this. Born on July 24th, 1897, from a very young age she embraced a sense of experimentation and physical freedom , which led to her success in woman’s rights later in her life. As a child Earhart described, “It has always seemed to me that boys and girls are educated very differently.” When Earhart got married to George Putnam she was very clear with him that “even though they were to be bound by marriage, she was still an individual woman with her own rights.” She even went as far as to say on her wedding day that she would “not hold [her husband, George Putnam] to any medieval code of faithfulness to me nor shall I consider myself to bound to you similarly.” She also would never take up her Putnam’s name in order to remain an independent woman; in fact her Putnam was often called Mr. Earhart.

The death of Amelia Earhart, has continued to bring up women’s accomplishments, which is why many decide to abandon the questions, and leave Amelia wherever she is. Instead of focusing on the one event that brought her life down, people can remember her for all the records she set, the people she helped, and the events that made her life so distinct in the eyes of Americans. Walter J. Boyne, a retired United States Air Force officer, once said, “Amelia Earhart came perhaps before her time,…the smiling, confident, capable, yet compassionate human being, is one of which we can all be proud.” Earhart and her adventurous life will never be forgotten, and instead will be honored and remembered.

On June 1st, 1937, Amelia Earhart, took off on what she thought would be a historical flight. She began her journey in Oakland, California. This was her second attempt to become the first pilot in history to circumnavigate the globe. She and her navigator, Fred Noonan, took flight in a twin engine Lockheed 10E Electra, and successfully flew to their first destination, Miami, Florida, followed by a successful flight to their next destination, South America. Together, they continued on their journey and successfully crossed the Atlantic Ocean and stopped in Africa, then continued East to India and then Southeast Asia.

They had already flown 22,000 miles and were only 7,000 miles away from their starting point in Oakland, California. It appeared as though they would complete their journey (“Amelia Earhart”).
Sightings of Bigfoot have been seen in different places and been described in various ways. A recent study concluded that “Most descriptions set Bigfoot to be between seven and eight feet tall however other sightings have described the creature to be as tall as fourteen feet, and as short as five feet”(DSCL, 2014). Bigfoot also vary in colors including black, brown, and white. According to (DSCL, 2014), “ Bigfoot fur range from black, white, brown and even red and many Bigfoot stories describe the beast as having a foul odor. Although, people encounter Bigfoot and found evidence leading to that story, Bigfoot would still be a legend until a live Bigfoot body is recovered.(DSCL,2014). According to the information, “Although there have been many Bigfoot videos, stories, recorded sounds, hair samples, and foot tracks all claiming to prove the legendary animal's existence, until a live Bigfoot body, or recovered carcass is found that can be put to test then the legend will remain just as that.

Amelia received a letter from the Clarksburg Rotary Club in which it said, “Congratulations your daring solo across the Atlantic placed womans achievements in aviation at a new high mark in history welcome back to our shoes.” This letter shows how big of an inspiration and leader Amelia Earhart was through her outstanding expedition.

On the evening of March 1st, 1932, famous aviator Charles Lindbergh and his wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh put their 20 month old baby, Charles “Charlie” Augustus Lindbergh Jr to bed on the second floor of the Lindbergh home near Hopewell, New Jersey. When the child’s nurse, Betty Gow, went to check on Charlie, he was gone. Gow then reported the child’s absence to his parents. The police were contacted immediately and the search for the baby began. While trying to get in touch with the suspect who was leaving handwritten notes, the Lindbergh’s were very close to receiving their precious child. On May 12th, 1932, 72 days after the kidnapping, a decomposed body of a baby was found in the woods near the Lindbergh house. The child was dead and was predicted to have died on the night of the kidnapping as a result of a fractured skull. Charles Lindbergh was able to identify the baby as his own. Now the kidnapping had also become an immoral murder. Bruno Hauptmann is proven guilty through physical evidence, some which is found at the crime scene, his own physical features, and his handwriting. Additionally, his residency and money, specifically gold certificates assist in determining his innocence. Lastly, the testimonies at Hauptmann’s trial lead to one clear statement at last. Through an examination of physical evidence and case details, it can be concluded that Bruno Richard Hauptmann was responsible for the kidnapping of Charles Augustus Lindbergh.
