A decade ago, a plane carrying 239 people vanished over the Indian Ocean. Since then, the mystery has stumped experts and left the loved ones of those aboard without closure.

However, some researchers believe that searching in the right area will reveal the remnants of Malaysia Airlines flight 370. One of them is Vincent Lyne, and he recently joined the “Something Offbeat” podcast to discuss his research.

“As far as the science goes, we know exactly where the plane is,” he told host Mike Rogers. Lyne is a researcher for the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) at the University of Tasmania. He’s been independently researching the disappearance for years.

Already, millions have been spent on searches for the missing aircraft, which was headed from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. There have been reports that a new search for the missing plane could be launched.

Listen here to learn more about where Lyne thinks search teams may finally be able to solve the mystery.
