She 'captivated millions.' Now Trump wants Amelia Earhart records released. [View all]

President Donald Trump is wading into one of the country's great unsolved mysteries, promising to release government records about famed aviator Amelia Earhart.

Earhart disappeared over the Pacific Ocean in 1937.

"Her disappearance, almost 90 years ago, has captivated millions," Trump wrote in a social media post. "I am ordering my Administration to declassify and release all Government Records related to Amelia Earhart, her final trip, and everything else about her."

Earhart is described by the Smithsonian as "probably the most famous female pilot in aviation history." In 1932 she became the first woman, and the second person, to fly solo nonstop across the Atlantic Ocean. She was attempting to fly around the world when she disappeared.
