The Trump administration has ordered FBI employees in Washington, DC, and New York to immediately search their workstations and digital media for any records pertaining to the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, two law enforcement sources told CNN.
Employees in the FBI’s DC and New York field offices received a highly unusual message from their leadership flagged with high importance late Tuesday telling them: “Per a priority request from the Executive Office of the President of the United States, please search any areas where papers or physical media records may be stored, to include both open or closed cases, for records responsive to Amelia Earhart.”
FBI employees were given a priority deadline of Wednesday to respond to the request, which comes on the seventh day of an ongoing federal government shutdown.
Earhart was attempting to become the first woman to fly around the world when her plane went missing over the Pacific Ocean in 1937. She was declared lost at sea following a 16-day search.
President Donald Trump last month said he was directing his administration to “declassify and release all government records” related to Earhart.
“Her disappearance, almost 90 years ago, has captivated millions. I am ordering my Administration to declassify and release all Government Records related to Amelia Earhart, her final trip, and everything else about her,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Earhart, the first female pilot to fly solo over the Atlantic Ocean, broke a number of aviation records, and she has been a source of public fascination during her life and after.
Conspiracy theories have developed since the aviator’s disappearance, but as CNN noted in 2024, the US government suspected that Earhart and her navigator crashed into the Pacific when the plane ran out of fuel.

Yup. I forgot but that was in the documentary as well. Noonan liked his liquor.
They might find some of her intimate apparel in J. Edgar’s old closet.
When I was first assigned to Ft. Riley, KS, I found out all the troop units and motor pools were on a part of the base called, "Custer Hill." I had had similar thoughts...why would we want to work, train and live in an area named after somebody who was best known for getting a bunch of American soldiers scalped and killed.
Look…squirrel!!!
yes Fred Noonan was a drunk. but AE could not find another nav to fly with her on the flight
People forget that aviation was still fairly new at the time and qualified navigators were in short supply. Noonan was a fairly decent navigator when he was sober.
the original flight was to leave from Oakland ca and flight west to hawaii, but she crashed on take off and the plane had to be trucked back to lockheed in burbank to be repaired.
MY dad told me a family story as AE plan crashed in 1036, and as happened my grandfather and great grandfather both worked at lockjheed at the time.. and my dad and his older sister got to take a flight with AE I called BS on him. turned out that yes he did, and was told to never repeat anything that came out of her mouth as she cused like a longshoreman..
and that i went to the school library and took as many books they had on her..
true, 1930’s aviation was still in its infancy.
Look!
Over there - squirrel!
Wow. Interesting! Maybe all this evidence being made public is a good thing. Having fact over fiction is always better.
