disappearance has been the subject of at least fifty
books, countless magazine and newspaper articles,

and TV documentaries. It is seen by journalists as the
last great American mystery. There are currently two

main theories about Amelia Earhart's fate.

k-s
There were reports of distress calls from the Phoenix utb
Islands made on Earhart's radio frequency for days
after she vanished. Some say the plane could have
-
broadcast only if it were on land, not in the water.
oal

The Coast Guard and later the Navy, believing the


distress calls were real, adjusted their searches, and
s

newspapers at the time reported Earhart and her


an-

navigator were marooned on an island. No-one was


able to trace the calls at the time, so whether Earhart
tih

was on land in the Phoenix Islands or there was a


hoaxer in the Phoenix Islands using her radio remains
a
4/l

a mystery. Others dismiss the radio calls as bogus and


insist Earhart and her navigator ditched in the water.
/0

An Earhart researcher, Elgen Long, claims that


23

Earhart's airplane ran out of gas within fifty-two miles


of the island and is sitting somewhere in a 6,000-
20

square-mile area, at a depth of 17,000 feet. At that


depth, the fuselage would still be in shiny, pristine
m/

condition if ever anyone were able to locate it. It


would not even be covered in a layer of silt. Those
o
t.c

who subscribe to this explanation claim that fuel


calculations, radio calls and other considerations all
spo

show that the plane plunged into the sea somewhere


off Howland Island.
og
.bl

Whatever the explanation, the prospect of finding the


remains is unsettling to many. To recover skeletal
ana

remains or personal effects would be a grisly


experience and an intrusion. They want to know
uly

where Amelia Earhart is, but that's as far as they


would like to go. As one investigator has put it, "I'm
