Archaeologist, author to discuss Amelia Earhart mystery
Much interest and speculation have revolved around the disappearance of aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart and her colleague Fred Noonan in 1937.
Thomas F. King, an author and senior archaeologist for the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR), will give a talk at Texas State University-San Marcos, Taylor-Murphy Hall, room 101, Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 7 p.m. The talk is free and open to the public.
TIGHAR is an interdisciplinary scientific research team that has been working since 1989 to find answers to Earhart’s mysterious disappearance. King’s talk will review the history of the efforts to find out what happened to Earhart. He will also discuss his novel Thirteen Bones, which tells the Earhart story from a human perspective based on the data and evidence collected.
Actually not much information there, but I thought I’d post the link anyway.

I don’t understand why so many serious people expend real effort on a “mystery” like this.
How much of a mystery is it that a plane of that ancient era disappeared over the open ocean? A real mystery, and tribute to humankind, is that ALL of them didn’t disappear.
