An Associated Press article from March 8 2008 says a new book offers a new theory.

""An author of historical books thinks he's finally unraveled the mystery of Amelia Earhart's disappearance almost 71 years ago.

America's most celebrated female pilot of the 20th century simply ran out of gas and crashed into the ocean on July 2, 1937, says Doug Westfall, author of "The Hunt for Amelia Earhart."

He bases his opinion in part on the account of one of the few surviving members of the team that sent Earhart on her planned flight around the world in 1937. Retired engineer Don Fowbie, 93, who lives in the Los Angeles suburb of Arcadia, put the engines on Earhart's plane and told Westfall their configuration meant that once the aircraft hit the water its radio would have shorted out.

The plane could have remained afloat for some time, however, and Westfall believes Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, would have drifted out of the area midway between Australia and Hawaii by the time U.S. ships arrived to rescue them.

Still, where did she go?

"I believe the Japanese picked her up," Westfall says, adding the country, on the brink of war with China in 1937, likely would have kept that quiet. ""

I found that by going to Google home page (which I use as my home page) selecting NEWS at the top of the page and typed Amelia Earhart into the search bar. There are many other theories also Wikipedia has a full page on her.

There are several articles on her disappearance in most search engines. Try "Amelia Earhart Enigma: Three groups with three theories". It's on National Geographic News.
