china, that went off radar. radar suggested the plane did a u-turn and went over the south indian ocean, never to be heard from again. now, after years of searching, with helicopters, and underwater drones, the search is being called off. the most expensive and complicated search in aviation history is over. after nearly three years, the hunt for malaysia airlines flight 370 has been called off. crews have been searching for the aircraft since it vanished during a flight from kuala lumpur to beijing on march 8th, 2013. the search run jointly by the governments of malaysia, australia and china, which spent $150 million trying to locate the missing plane, released a joint statement. despite using every effort, and as well as modeling and advice from highly skilled professio l professionals who are the best in their field, the search has

not located the aircraft. >> the malaysia 370 mystery is one like none other. if they suspend the search before they find it, it may go unanswered. >> reporter: in july 2015, the first proof that 370 was in the indian ocean. a wing flap washed ashore, thousands of miles to the west, on reunion island, just off madagascar. but investigators never termed what caused the crash. and a small amount of debris, has done little to shed light on what happened. >> if you lock at amelia earhart or the "titanic," which took a hundred years to find that wreckage, this could be along those lines. >> reporter: they have found pieces of wreckage washed ashore in africa, but really small pieces. a support group for the families of the missing passengers, have pushed continuing looking for the plane, moving the search zone to the north. overnight, they released a

statement, saying commercial planes cannot be allowed to disappear without a trace. and stopping at this stage, they say, is irresponsible. guys, back to you. >> tom costello, thank you. now, to major developments in the istanbul terror attack. the attacker has been arrested. istanbul's governor says the man is an uzbekistan national who entered turkey illegally one year ago. he confessed to the nightclub shooting and his fingerprints matched those of the gunman. isis claimed responsibility of the attack but produced no evidence of its involvement. we have new developments in the pulse nightclub shooting in orlando, as well. the wife of gunman omar mateen is in custody in connection with that master. kerry sanders has more on that. kerry, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, matt. since the massacre seven months ago, here at the pulse nightclub in orlando, there's been one lingering question, did the

gunman act alone? this morning, in a federal courtroom in california, they'll unseal an indictment that says the gunman's wife knew what was about to happen. this is the first video of the rest of nor salman, the wife of shooter omar mateen. agents took her into custody and raided her home near san francisco. she has been charged of bading and abetting the terrorist attack and obstruction of justice. >> this is a matter we continue to take seriously. it was our goal and we said we were going to look at every aspect of this case. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: the night mateen carried out hais attack at the pulse nightclub. she texted her husband. where are you? he replies, do you see what's happening? no. she says. he answers, i love you, babe. the next day, i asked mateen's father what he she told him.

>> everybody is shocked. especially his wife. she cannot talk. she is said. >> reporter: but law enforcement officials told nbc news, she became a person of interest, after telling officials she was with her husband when he bought ammunition at walmart and drove with him past the club. she told "the new york times," i was unaware of everything. this morning, the family is saying they're shocked and surprised. at her arrest because they had been cooperating with law enforcement. her attorney calling her innocent. writing in a statement. noor salman had no foreknowledge nor could she predict what omar mateen intended to do that tragic night. we believe that it is misguided and wrong to prosecute her. a pulse survivor says salman's arrest doesn't change much for him. >> does it make anybody feel any better? i'm not really sure. >> reporter: noor salman is expected to be extradited back here to florida to stand trial.

researchers at oregon state ran numbers on people over 65. it lowers the chance of dying by 11%. it keeps you healthier. research from the university of miami. people who work past 65, say they're in good, very good or excellent health. mental sharpness is a big one. even people who say they're working just for the money, at least to begin with, say it really helps keep them clear. and the biggest one, i think, is that it reduces isolation. we looked at some research from age wave. they say if you're isolated in retirement, it can have the impact of smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. >> really? >> unbelievable. >> gosh. >> and those of us who love what we do, it gives you an identity, which is night. >> let's look at financial benefits. people looking to earn a paycheck or disposable income. >> that's right. let's talk about the money in your retirement accounts.

if you're earning a paycheck, you can leave that money in your retirement accounts, which means it can continue to grow. you can keep contributing. if you take off putting the pension, you may receive a larger paycheck throughout your retirement. that's a big one. social security. we talk about this all the time. >> all the time. >> for every year you delay taking social security, from age 62-70, your benefits grow by average of 8% every year, guaranteed. that's enormous. and you may still be eligible for some company benefits. if you work for a company that has more than 20 people, you may be able to stay on their health plan, rather than going on medicare. and when you do retire, you won't have wait for the open enrollment period. that may be something to consider. >> i did not know this until reading the notes. a lot of people consider this working in retirement rather than working past retirement. >> i think the difference in the language there is that it reflects that it's more of a

choice. if you say you're working past retirement, it's a little like a slog. but working in retirement, seems to say, this is something that i'm choosing to do. and when you're thinking about what to do, you want to cast a very wide net. what we know about people that are working in retirement, three of five are doing something new. retirees are three-times more likely than other people to be entrepreneurs. but it's not something that you can just decide that you want to do, the day before you retire. you have to make a plan. you should be laying the groundwork for this. at least five years in advance. and brush up your tech skills if you can. that's absolutely huge. >> hang out with the teenagers or the grandkids in the area or take classes. >> get free tech education. go to a community college. learn those skills that will be useful. >> the other thing here. consider a breather. how long do you wait or how soon do you jump back in? >> we know that on average, people are taking a breather of about 2 1/2 years, from the time

they leave their traditional job until the time that they enter working in retirement. but for every year you take off, it becomes a little harder to get back in. while you're taking that breather, make sure you're networking and getting the skills back in shape. >> great information, jean. thank you so much. you can find all of jean's tips for the month at today.com/starttoday. and tomorrow, bob harper will be here to walk us through his "start today" fitness plan. send it over to the team. >> tamron, thank you very much. a little early. let's do birthdays. >> absolutely. let's spin the smucker's jar and see who we see. happy birthday to irene lucente of staten island, new york. she loves to read and spend time with her family. ray sigmon this entrepreneur from south carolina. ran his own landscaping business and was a fireman for his town, as well. happy 100th birthday to gladys,
