Purdue Foundation and Archaeological Legacy Institute Set November Search for Earhart's Electra

  • Purdue University and Archaeological Legacy Institute will lead a November 2025 expedition to Nikumaroro to inspect the Taraia Object as Earhart's lost plane.
  • This expedition follows decades of theories suggesting Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan crashed near Nikumaroro after vanishing in 1937 during their world flight.
  • Previous efforts, including a 2017 team with forensic dogs, found artifacts and a scent of human remains but no definitive proof of Earhart's presence on the island.
  • Richard Pettigrew said the Taraia Object’s size and location correspond with Earhart’s plane and radio signals, while Purdue’s Steven Schultz stressed 'smoking gun evidence' remains elusive.
  • If confirmed, the expedition could solve a major 20th-century mystery and fulfill Earhart’s wish to return the Electra 10E to Purdue for aeronautical study.
