Here is an interesting bit of Catholic trivia thrown in with the mystery.

------

Reineck picked up the search. In 1991, he went to New Jersey to interview Msgr. James Francis Kelley, 89, a retired psychologist, who affirmed that he had been commissioned by then-Archbishop Francis Joseph Spellman to bring Amelia Earhart back to the United States after the war and help give her a new identity. Spellman, who died in 1967, had been designated military vicar for the United States by Pope Pius XII.

Two of Msgr. Kelley's inner-circle friends also claimed to know that Bolam was Earhart.

"She was adamant that she no longer wanted to be identified as Amelia Earhart. He [Kelley] gave no reason for her inflexibility in this regard, but said only that this was her very strong demand," said one of those friends, Helen Barber of New Jersey.

When Kelley died in 1996, a few noteworthy items were found among his possessions: a folder with "Irene Bolam" written on one side and "Amelia Earhart" on the other. There was also a note, apparently written to himself, that said: "It's too bad that her mother never knew she had survived."

and because JFK was going to reveal her identity he had to be assasinated.

From what I have read, Amelia and her co-pilot died due their own arrogance. Eg: no radio, no flight plan, and most of all, lack of training.

I see no conspiracy, only romance about her being the first woman "aviator" (added and abetted by her husband) who wished to circumnavigate the globe.

I take it the "Who killed Kennedy" threads are winding down.

Around 1980, when I was at the USMC historical center, the three greatest requests for information were for:

Agent Orange

Amelia Earhert

Peking Man

Go figure.

Did she go and live with that woman who claimed to be Princess Anastasia?

This face-on shot of Amelia shows how wide-set her eyes were; compare with Irene's. The way the hair lays appears to be on opposite sides.

Has any of these ‘detectives’ ever heard of a paragraph? It sure makes reading easier. Maybe a proof reader would help.
