The Continuing Mystery of America's 'Lost Colony'

And I'm Faith Lapidus.  Roanoke Island is off the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States, in North Carolina.  In fifteen eighty-seven, more than one hundred people arrived from England to live on the island.  Three years later, they were gone.  Today we revisit the mystery of whatever happened to America's "Lost Colony."

Historians have theories.  Native Americans may have killed the colonists.  Or the British could have been killed by Spanish troops who came up from what is now Florida.  Or perhaps the settlers went farther inland.  There, they might have met friendly Indians and married into their tribes.
