Two of the most influential figures in the decades-long search for Amelia Earhart died last month. But their theories live on

She hid behind a tree to watch. “I didn’t want to get away,” she said. “I just wanted to look and look.” She kept quiet until she took a job as an assistant to a Navy dentist named Casimir Sheft. One day the office conversation turned to Amelia Earhart. Akiyama, now 20, had never heard of the aviator, nor did she know the English word for pilot, but when Sheft asked her if she’d ever seen a woman pilot, she said yes.
The story had spun out of control. Fred Goerner, a CBS radio reporter, traveled to Saipan multiple times and discovered other people who also claimed to have seen a white woman. But their stories conflicted, especially when it came to how Earhart and Noonan had died, and all the material evidence—a ring, a briefcase, a diary—had somehow disappeared. Goerner suggested Earhart had been on a failed mission for the U.S. government, which then orchestrated a cover up.
They interviewed everyone involved with Earhart’s flight—from the people who designed the plane’s radio direction finder to the guy who gassed up the plane in New Guinea to the radiomen who tried to contact her from the’s radio logs and Noonan’s navigational charts from the first half of the flight.
