Yes, actually it bothers me in the sense that the woman and her large plane didn't disappear into thin air.

If you assume that none of the conspiracy theories are true - so no Japanese soldiers captured her and dismantled her plane, and the U.S. government didn't stage the disappearance - then there should be solid real proof somewhere in the vicinity of the Pacific Ocean! Why, after all these years, haven't we found it?

I'm sure there are a number of scientific reasons about ocean depth, aquatic life breaking down the plane structure, etc. But it is still baffling that ALL these years have passed with nothing. Not one shred of evidence. We know nothing more about her disappearance than we did in 1937. How can one woman (and a man and a giant airplane) just disappear into thin air?

I hope someday we finally have an answer, but at this point either she is buried so deeply somewhere that there is no hope....or, the conspiracy theorists are right and she's never supposed to be found.

Nope. She's dead somewhere. It is unfortuanate, all I know is she crashed somewhere and died somehow.

No. Plane crashes in the ocean still happen today. Back then there were no black boxes to even look for. The oceans are huge! Countless planes and ships have crashed or sunk and never been seen again. On top of that, planes of the period were tiny and made of degradable materials. It is not mysterious in the least.
