[Photo Credits: Minus the news print photos and the Joe Gervais 1965 photo, all photos of the Gervais-Irene and the Non Gervais-Irene displayed throughout this website and more comprehensively in the 1997-2004 Beyond 37'/Swindell forensic study and investigative research analysis, were provided by Ann Holtgren Pellegreno, a well known pilot and author. Most all of the seventy-plus photos examined and compared in the study originated from the late Irene's (the Gervais-Irene's) own collection. They were located among some personal items she had left to her survived friend, Ms. Diana Dawes of Princeton, New Jersey. The now late Ms. Dawes further entrusted them to Ann Holtgren Pellegreno in the 1990s. None of the photos of the Gervais-Irene she left behind pre-dated the year of 1945. The 'early 1940s' Non Gervais-Irene photo displayed here and in the forensic analysis (and a few others of the Non Gervais-Irene) also originated from the Gervais-Irene's own collection.]

<Something Overlooked>

Again, in 2006 the 1934 born son and only child of the original Irene Craigmile, Larry Heller identified the person shown directly above as the woman he recalled to have been his 'early childhood' mother. However, when shown the 1945 Irene Craigmile (Gervais-Irene) 'Zonta' photo farther above, he remarked he'd never seen it before. He also mentioned he held no photos of his 'mother' pre-dating the year of 1947. Also, if such a nice photograph of his mother at all existed as the one shown directly above, (the photo was located among some of the Gervais-Irene's own photos a year after she died by a survived friend of hers, Diana Dawes who was given some of her belongings) why did it not appear anywhere in the 1982 New Jersey News Tribune series? Answer: It would not have fit into the contrived cover story. [Note: In 1984 Ms. Dawes was the person who contacted Lucy McDannel with questions about her late friend, the Gervais-Irene's true identity. The now late Ms. Dawes as well, very much suspected her to have been the former Amelia Earhart, but said she 'knew better' than to directly ask her.]  

2.) Headline:

"Mrs. Heller Waivers on Irene's Identity"

To add to such oddities, consider the following excerpts from one of the curious stories that appeared in the two week long New Jersey News Tribune series on October 29, 1982. This particular one also described the opinion of Larry Heller's Wife, Joan Heller:

As the by-lined "Middlesex County Publishing Company" story described, originally Larry and Joan Heller viewed the identity claim about Larry's Mother as incorrect. However, the paper quoted Mrs. Heller to have said both she and her husband changed their view on the matter to describe how "...they are no longer sure." It went on to further quote Joan Heller this way: ""I really don't know what to think anymore," said Mrs. Heller, who two weeks earlier denied there was any identity question to be settled. "It appears to us now there are a fair amount of people who think that she is (was) Miss Earhart," Mrs. Heller said." (Recall though, at the time the public was unaware of the shared identity issue discovered in 2002, where more than one person had been described as the same 'Irene Craigmile Bolam' in the series.)

The late Father of Larry Heller, Al Heller's opinion was also printed in the same article. By the 1970s Al Heller, (who died in 1979) had ascended to become a Senior VP of the Miami Aviation Association. Miami of course, was the same place Pan Am's headquarters was located, and the same place Amelia Earhart last stood on United States soil in 1937. (Recall Fred Noonan had been considered Pan Am's best air-over-ocean navigator before he left Pan Am to fly with Amelia Earhart, and Larry Heller also grew up to become a Pan Am pilot.) According to the article, Al Heller said he had met Amelia Earhart before and he adamantly stated, "There is no possible resemblance between the two women." Of course, one look at the Gervais-Irene comparison to Amelia above will beg one to differ.

[Note: In 1982 Selig Altschull and Marylin Bender's voluminous expose' book The Chosen Instrument was published by Simon and Schuster. The book thoroughly profiled Juan Trippe's and Pan Am's history, citing its title "The Chosen Instrument" as a reference to consistent U. S. Government contracts exclusively awarded to Pan Am from the 1930s into the 1950s. In essence, the book's title referred to Pan Am as the U. S. Government's 'chosen instrument' it would regularly call on to accomplish important global aviation achievements, as pertained to its future military and public travel needs, and its Federal mail carrying needs. The book all but described Fred Noonan as Pan Am's premier long distance navigator in the 1930s, and about Earhart and Noonan's 1937 loss it included the following statement: "Numerous investigations foundered on official silence in Tokyo and Washington, leaving the fate of Earhart an everlasting mystery."]    

On October 18, 1982 on page four of the News Tribune series, Amelia's then eighty-two year old Sister, Muriel Earhart Morrissey was also quoted to have said, "Of course I knew Irene. She was a sister Zonta." Muriel, who died in 1998 was also a long time Zonta member. Of course she also referrenced the claim of Irene to have been her survived sister and the former Amelia Earhart as "foolish," while advocating to the many individuals who felt there was a keen resemblance, "There is practically no physical resemblance." Again though, one look at the Gervais-Irene comparison to Amelia above and the comparisons elsewhere in this website and contained in the full study, easily begs one to differ.   

Strangely as well, in final follow-up New Jersey News Tribune installments, featured on page one on December 15, 1982 Larry Heller was once again asked if he was going to further pursue the release of his mother's fingerprints from Rutgers Medical School where she donated her body. The school previously turned him down after he formally requested them in writing. This time he responded, "Heller told the News Tribune that he has decided to let the matter rest. ""I'm not interested in digging around," he said. "I would just as soon let it hang as a mystery...." ('it' being the true identity of his mother.) "Let it remain an unsolved mystery,"" he said. Heller added that he would object if others were to take action seeking a court order for the medical school to release fingerprints."

3.) Admiral Nimitz, Commander Pillsbury,

Monsignor Kelley Quotes 

"You're onto something that will stagger your imagination." Retired U. S. Navy Commander John Pillsbury, 1962, as spoken to Earhart investigative researcher, Fred Goerner in referring to the Earhart disappearance case.

"Amelia Earhart and her navigator did go down in the Marshall Islands and they were picked up by the Japanese." U. S. Navy Admiral Chester Nimitz, 1965, to Earhart investigative researcher, Fred Goerner.

The following excerpts were taken from a September of 1991 tape recorded conversation between USAF Colonel Rollin C. Reineck (Ret.) and the then eighty-nine year old Monsignor James Francis Kelley, who had been President of Seton Hall University from 1936 to 1949. [Note: See more about Monsignor Kelley in the 'Miscellaneous' link.] Recorded nine years after his long time good friend, Irene Craigmile Bolam's (the Gervais-Irene's) passing, it is the only known of taped interview with Monsignor Kelley about his opinion on the subject of Amelia Earhart:    

Rollin Reineck: "I want to know about Amelia Earhart. Did you bring her home from Japan?"

Monsignor Kelley: "Yes, I was instrumental in getting her freed and she stayed here. I have some of her things here. I'm certain it's in my book. I did write a book, and I'm positive I did put in a chapter about her."

Rollin Reineck: "We believe Jackie Cochran was sent to Japan to help bring Amelia home. Are you aware of that?"

Monsignor Kelley: "Yes, I was involved with that."

Rollin Reineck: "Are you aware that she was Irene Bolam?"

Monsignor Kelley: "What?"

Rollin Reineck: "Amelia Earhart was Irene Bolam?"

Monsignor Kelley: "That's right, yes."
 

4.) The Overall Forensic Argument Conclusion,

And The 'Not So Free' Free Press

Introduction

One might think the above 1991 spoken words of Monsignor Kelley should have been deemed newsworthy information. Yet the reason they were not may be found in the following, which evidently, has long existed as the main road block to exposing the true Earhart post-loss story through the news media.

Pertaining to influential control over the United States national media circuit, and the way major newspapers and broadcast stations evolved to be owned and run in the Twentieth Century, ideas from the 2004 Robert Kane Pappas documentary film Orwell Rolls in his Grave may be considered with Earhart. The national news media was steered from the begining about it, where by the 1990s there appeared to be a collective code recommending to only deal with it on the surface. In this way, the national media collective displayed its ability to overwhelm any and all competing voices.

'Orwell Rolls' cited how the national media circuit historically aligned itself with the government to maintain a more authoritative stance over crucal issues. Almost from its onset, the Earhart story 'press awareness' was steered in the direction of ignorance, and left parked there. The national press only ever reported on what private citizens were doing... Earhart investigations wise.    

President John F. Kennedy at least, believed such a thing as outside infiltrations of the national media circuit were a sure reality. In April of 1961 he even implicated 'secrecy' and 'secret societies' that existed in America, as capable of maintaining a controlling sway when it came to controversial or important national news stories, and how the public was often conditioned to perceive them. So even after select forensic truths might be learned, at times the national media would end up portraying them as questionable to the public in order to subdue its curiosity about them. Consider here below, the way President Kennedy opened his speech to the National Press Circuit in 1961, in an effort to encourage national press outlets to engage in a campaign of reporting important facts without prejudice, in the face of any and all who would persuade them not to:

"Ladies and gentlemen: The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society, and we are as a people, inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago, that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts, far outweighs the dangers that are cited to justify it. Even today there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society, by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today there is little value in ensuring the survival of our nation, if our traditions do not survive with it." (Read more of this incredibly bold speech farther down.)

It is perhaps relevant to note here, how in the early 1970s two Washington Post newspaper reporters by the names of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein decided they would bravely stand up to the U. S. national government system, by convincing their paper's publisher to allow them to freely report on important controversial truths they'd been made aware of to the American public. They did so to the point where after their lives had been all but threatened, they had exposed secret, illicit, and highly illegal activities taking place within the White House, that ultimately caused a U. S. President to resign.

The actions of Woodward and Bernstein started a great trend of bold investigative reporting that lasted into the 1990s. Unfortunately, by the time the century ended such a trend had reverted to a thing of the past, as fewer newspaper owners with more dogmatic control over their news editors took over.

Upon review of all of the information contained in and revealed in this website... one should be able to determine for his or her self what the truth of this matter really is, and always has been. And it should go something like this: From the mid-1940s on the combined families of Amelia Earhart and the original Irene Craigmile, helped to obfuscate the forensic truth of the post-disappearance of Amelia Earhart. They appeared to have shared such an endeavor with a high level of combined U. S., Japan, and Great Britain government awarenesses, as well as the World Catholic Church and the Zonta organization. And as it is known how the United States Government is not permitted to lie to the public when it comes to official matters of state, so much enabled the long held credo of 'official silence' that always greeted queries on the Earhart matter since 1937. Thus, as early as 1938 Secretary of the Treasury Henry P. Morgenthau Jr. is recorded in a meeting saying "I hope I've just got to never make it public," regarding certain information he knew about Earhart's 'disappearance.' Morgenthau's curious response was recorded by a White House Dictaphone device, as he answered a query directed his way by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt on behalf of Paul Mantz and Jackie Cochran. [Both Cochran and Mantz, two of Earhart's closest friends in 1936 and 1937, (although neither had liked Amelia's husband, George Putnam very much) suspected Amelia's quiet continued survival under the auspice of Japan at the time.]

As well, it should be plain to see by now how there were actually three Irenes: One was the original; another, the 1945-1982 identified Gervais-Irene (AKA Irene-Amelia) had post WWII existed in the U. S. as the cloaked former Amelia Earhart; and the third Irene, who remains officially unidentified to this day is suspected to have been the long rumored out-of-wedlock 'daughter' Amelia Earhart had after she left Los Angeles in 1924 with her Mother, Amy Otis Earhart. Some believe(d) Amelia privately gave birth to said 'little girl' while in the process of relocating to the east coast with her Mother and Sister Muriel, four years before she became famous at the age of thirty in 1928. Earhart traditionalists argued against such a thing of course, but 1924 is a noticeably skimmed over year in all of Amelia's biographies, and for the proficient semi-professional photographer Amelia had become by then, it appeared odd how nary a photo of she and her mother's described "seven week, seven thousand mile" road trek sojourn from L. A. to Boston in 1924, that included a side trip to Calgary, Canada yielded no later published photos. As well, in later describing the entire 1924 time period Amelia's own cousin, Lucy Challis offered how it was as if the Earhart's had 'fallen of the face of the earth' then. 

It also appears to have been the case, how it was Amelia's 1930s friend, the original Irene O'Crowley Craigmile Heller who disappeared from the picture in the 1930s sometime after she gave birth to her son Larry Heller in 1934, and she remained gone forever. If she died in the 1930s there exists no record of it, but after the 1930s her image is seen no more in the photo record of Irene's person. Of note, one of Irene-Amelia's later life close friends, again Ms. Diana Dawes did indicate in a tape recorded account in 1993 how she understood the original Irene's (hushed) death enabled Amelia to acquiesce her new identity adjacent to the WWII era. Hence, by the 1940s the other two falsely identified Irene's, who in all likelihood were a biological mother and daughter team, had taken the original Irene's place identification wise in order to obfuscate both of their true individual identities.

Back in 1928 it appeared to have been the original Irene Craigmile's O'Crowley family who quietly took in Amelia Earhart's non-recognized four year old birth-daughter, to privately help raise her after Amelia suddenly became famous. And by the late 1930s, about as far back as the original Irene's Son could possibly remember, said girl, who was a teenager by then and referred to by the O'Crowley family as 'Irene Jr.,' was closely helping with the rearing of Larry Heller, to where he could later recall her image from his early childhood. It's interesting to note here as well, where the original Irene's Aunt was later discovered to have been a good long time Zonta sister friend of Amelia's, not one of the many published biographies of Amelia's life ever mentions her name or the original Irene Craigmile's name either. Similar to how Monsignor Kelley's Nephew, Adrienne McBride who did the final editing of his Uncle's memoirs, made certain (perhaps with encouragement from his friend, Bill Prymak of the Amelia Earhart Society) the famous Monsignor's 1987 autobiography was published without including the chapter Monsignor Kelley later insisted he wrote about his long time friend Amelia... who in 1991 he affirmed in a recorded conversation, had changed her name to 'Irene Craigmile' during the WWII era. Otherwise, a section on the Monsignor's past friendship with Charles Lindbergh does appear in his autobiography, along with his many other recollections of famous people he'd befriended from the 1930s throughout the 1970s. 

As also referenced above, by 1945 Irene Jr. was no longer part of the O'Crowley household. Irene Jr.'s henceforth absentia from the inner O'Crowley family realm appeared to have taken place as the former Amelia Earhart assumed the identity of the original Irene Craigmile, enabling her to continue to help with the rearing of the original Irene's Son, Larry Heller. In the meantime, it seemed the unwed Irene Jr. had been sent to Scotland by late 1944, where she herself had a baby girl shortly thereafter who she named 'Grace' after her biological Aunt, Muriel Grace Earhart Morrissey. As the story goes, Irene Jr.'s baby girl was adopted by a good Scottish family to be raised there, with Irene Jr. participating in residence during her birth daughter's early years. 

(Note: One Grace McGuire was born in Scotland in 1945 and grew up to look like a carbon copy of Amelia Earhart. She acknowledged she was an adopted child, and after relocating alone in the mid-1960s to Monsignor Kelley's home town of Rumson, New Jersey, she also acknowledged knowing Irene Craigmile Bolam, and she knew and was known to have traveled with Amelia's Sister, Muriel Earhart Morrissey. Curiously as well, in 2006 Grace McGuire had been scheduled to fly around the world in her own Lockheed Electra Airplane she named "Muriel" with her friend Larry Heller, the Son of the original Irene Craigmile serving as her navigator. The flight never materialized, but on September 20, 2005 the New York Times featured an article with Grace's photo describing her upcoming flight plans, and in 2006 Larry Heller confirmed in writing to Tod Swindell how he indeed was to have accompanied Grace on her flight while serving as her navigator. Not to mention photos of both Grace and Muriel Grace Earhart Morrissey, along with their comments about Irene Craigmile Bolam had appeared in the 1982 fraud-lined New Jersey Tribune series. (See the side by side photo of Muriel Grace and Grace McGuire in the New Jersey Tribune link, lower right hand column.)]      

In essence, the forensic Earhart truth likely ended as a highly contrived and highly controlled multiple family affair, one that always respected Amelia's wishes to never disclose her pre- fame motherhood episode, and one to ultimately gain the silent endorsements of immediate post-WWII official government sanctums on high levels. Both Author Randall Brink and Major Joe Gervais agreed it had to exist as sealed at an executive branch level, meaning the White House of course, and such a seal had to have dated back to the WWII era. And so much, given the enormity and complexity of all the combined circumstances, may very well have been the case.

 
6.) A Masonic Thing? A Zonta Thing? 

There appeared to have been other protective factions. For beyond the mentioned Catholic Church involvement, the real Earhart story dating back to the mid-1940s was surely (as also mentioned) a Zonta protected truth, and it was likely a Masonic (AKA Freemasons) protected truth as well. Such combined entities along with the non-public endorsement of the U. S. Government, would have indeed harnessed the power to control the attitudes of both the Smithsonian and the National Geographic Society about Earhart, and therefore the national press media attitudes as well.

First, consider the Zonta sisterhood, a world-wide private organization all but exclusive to successful career women. The 'Zontas' were founded in Buffalo, New York in 1919. In a way one could describe the 'Zonta sisterhood' as the female equivalent to the men-only Mason's society. Amelia Earhart was perhaps the Zontas' most famous all time member, and there still exists today the prestigious Zonta Amelia Earhart Scholarship Award. Again, Amelia was also a good friend of one of the Zonta's co-founders, Nina Price and of course she was friends with Attorney Irene O'Crowley, the Aunt of the original Irene Craigmile. Attorney Irene O'Crowley served as a Zonta chapter President from 1938 to 1940. The original Irene Craigmile never was a Zonta member. Not to mention, Amelia's Sister Muriel was also a prominent Zonta member, and Jackie Cochran, another 'honorary' Zonta member and the first woman pilot to break the sound barrier, had claimed during the year long period before Amelia vanished she was "closer to Amelia than anyone else." Yet finally once again, nowhere in any of Amelia Earhart's various biographies are her close friendships with Nina Price or Attorney Irene ever mentioned, her Zonta membership history is barely addressed, and her friendship with Jackie Cochran is only lightly referenced at best.

Of course as Irene (AKA the Gervais-Irene AKA Irene-Amelia) she did not become a Zonta member until after the end of WWII. But when she did, she again rose to prominence within the organization as a member of Zonta's Long Island, New York chapter. [Note: After she acquiesced her new identity of 'Irene' she gravitated towards Great Neck on Long Island, where as Amelia she had lived with her friend Marian Stabler before in Marian's wealthy family home. She'd undergone some financial industry training in the 1940s, and while living in Great Neck in the 1950s she actually aspired to become an Assistant Vice President at the Great Neck National Bank. Then on July 25, 1958 (on what would have been the day after Amelia Earhart's sixty-first birthday) she married Englishman Guy Bolam in New York, a fellow later described by his own survived family to have been a past MI6 operative. In 1958 both the Non Gervais-Irene (described by Beyond 37' as Irene Jr. in her thirty-forth year) and Clarence O'Crowley Jr. (described by Beyond 37' as the 1927 first-born Son of the original Irene in his thirty-first year) were shown in a photograph left behind by the Gervais-Irene, standing alone side by side together while attending Irene and Guy's wedding that day. (The original Irene's second Son, 1934 born Larry Heller was in the Air Force at that time.) It all sounds complicated, yes... but once one gets to know the story it really isn't.] 

Later, where the Zontas historically refused to address the issue of the post-war Irene Craigmile Bolam's membership in a public way, so too did it fairly implicate itself as part of the cover mechanism for the former Amelia Earhart's post WWII existence in the United States as a new and different looking, Irene Craigmile (and later, Bolam.)     

* * * 

The Masons, (short for Freemasons) an exclusive and fairly secretive men-only organization with roots dating back a thousand years to the scientific geniuses and architects of Europe's great cathedrals, have been described as 'capable of steering history' through national news media sources 'for the good of public interests.' Even the History Channel reported how nine U. S. Presidents were Freemason members, off hand referred to as 'a society of specialized upper echelon, highly influential intellectuals, and all but public attitude governing authorities.' Some current Mason members could even be involved with keeping Earhart's truth at bay today, with their downplaying of major investigative breakthroughs to the national media circuit, such as those the Associated Press began reporting on in 2002 that became factually twisted, and then almost magically went away without being subjected to further scrutiny.

President Kennedy naturally appreciated the Freemason's place in United States history, although he spoke out against the covert influence tactics of all secret, 'publicly influential' societies in 1961, and most felt he was referring to the Masons. He did so within his own various efforts, to encourage the national press circuit to report the news freely and cleanly to the American public, citing it as the only business protected by the U. S. Constitution through its Freedom of the Press statute. Consider the following additional excerpts taken from President Kennedy's April 27, 1961 speech as he addressed the U. S. National Press Circuit:

"...To withhold from the press and the public, the facts they deserve to know." "...For we are opposed around the world, by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy, that relies primarily on covet means for expanding its fear of influence, on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on Gorillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine, that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed."

So then, who were some famous Freemason Society members from the World War Two era who could have at all obfuscated and steered the course of Amelia Earhart's otherwise true history facts, into its future omnipresent category of 'a solidly existing mystery?' The list of such WWII era Freemason Society members is impressive and worthy of consideration: General Douglas MacArthur, President Harry Truman, General Jimmy Doolittle, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, President Franklin Roosevelt, FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover, WWII national radio coverage reporter Lowell Thomas, WWII Philippines imprisoned General Jonathan Wainwright, cowboy entertainer Will Rogers, and last but not least because of his known post-WWII friendship to the Gervais-Irene AKA Irene-Amelia, Senator Barry Goldwater. [Note: Another, although obviously he could not have directly influenced the future slant placed on Amelia's history, but one of Amelia Earhart's past great grandfather's from the Revolutionary War era was the famous James Otis, a Freemason society member who had coined the phrase "Taxation without representation is tyranny." Amelia's maternal Grandfather was the famous Kansas Judge, Alfred Gideon Otis, a one time law partner of former Kansas Governor, George Glick.] 

The relevance of the above list can be found in the realization of Amelia Earhart's pre-war disappearance and her post WWII survival as a new 'Irene Craigmile,' where she outright knew or had somehow been connected to all of the individuals named in the above list. As the post WWII era 'Irene,' she and Senator Barry Goldwater had been described as 'friends' in newsprint having shared their common bond interest not only of piloting, but both were (just as Amelia had been) avid photographers. As Amelia she had known Will Rogers and Lowell Thomas of radio fame pretty well, and if she never met FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover they certainly knew well of each other. And of course, Amelia had been an occasional overnight White House guest-friend of FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt.

There is also little doubt General MacArthur had a great deal to do with the post WWII steering of Amelia Earhart's future described history as perceived by the public. His post war 'future of Japan' influence over President Truman (who had only been President for a few months when the war ended) is well documented. And as 'Irene,' the former Amelia Earhart was described to have off-times visited General MacArthur's widow, Jean (who was Amelia's same age, born 1897) at Jean MacArthur's permanent residence of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, after the famous General died in 1964. And Winston Churchill of course, could have easily influenced the British public perception of Earhart's 1937 loss.

General Jimmy Doolittle, the great American flying hero of the first Tokyo raids after Pearl Harbor had co-received Jackie Cochran on Guam just after VJ Day, before Jackie met with MacArthur and Archbishop Spellman on her way to Japan; and Jackie also described how the newly released famous Japanese POW, General Jonathan Wainwright had symbolically "kissed" her as his tribute to 'lady liberty' who he had not had contact with in over three years while he was held in the Philippines.         

In any case, and after considering the implications of the entire episode of Earhart's so called 'mysterious disappearance,' in the end it appeared the real truth of Amelia Earhart's final destiny bore little resemblance to the various conveyed rumors of "a highly planned spy mission gone bad," or Amelia "perishing on a deserted Island," or "crashing and sinking at sea," or "dying of sickness while in Japanese captivity," or "being shot down by Japan as she entered its air space," or "being executed by Japan's military," or "dying in a plane crash during her post-VJ Day liberation process." Indeed, more than one or even ALL of these various suggestions could possibly have grown from a Masonic origin. In any case, it appears certain anymore how all of these above non-official suggestions made their way into post-war military talk categories somehow, while all along they were more akin to past injected divisive rumors, that were combined to promote and create the 'mystery' of Amelia Earhart in the public mindset, while behind solidly closed doors Amelia Earhart's true final disposition was never a mystery at all.

Granted, only since 2002 have the real story elements begun to be exposed to the public in fairly obvious terms. Hopefully, the free press will finally gain the courage to report on and truthfully scrutinize such elements in the face of such opponents as Bill Prymak of the Amelia Earhart Society, Elgen Long of Nauticos, and Richard Gillespie of TIGHAR. Since the 1970s and 80s all three of these media dominating individuals who sport their own different theories and organizations, have been strong-arming the national press circuit against even considering the Irene-Amelia reality for reasons publicly unknown, yet all but silently accepted by themselves... and perhaps by some seemingly authoritative, shadow-hidden sanctum.

7.) Epilogue
 

In 2006 Larry Heller and the legal firm of Cowan, Liebowitz, and Latman were paid $10,000 by Beyond 37's Tod Swindell for the right to option Mr. Heller's version of his Mother's life story. What inspired Beyond 37' to offer such an agreement, was Mr. Heller's previous 2004 acknowledgment of more than one person having been identified as his 'mother' in the 1982 New Jersey Tribune series. Yet in 2006 after signing the option agreement and receiving payment, he appeared unable to recall such a pivotal affirmation of his. Amazingly, even though Mr. Heller was also made aware of, shown, and given samples of the forensic data separating the Gervais-Irene from the Non Gervais-Irene, he refused to advocate the two women as separate human beings, indicating as long as history called them one person so would he. He also downgraded the opinions of 'forensic experts' and any 'forensic expert analysis' supporting the separation of the two, or the Gervais-Irene as the former Amelia Earhart. Not to mention, after being asked since 2004 for any photos featuring his mother dated prior to 1945, in 2006 he ultimately acknowledged he could not come up with any, and thus it remained as of 2008. For the prominent family his mother came from, such a reality seemed fairly odd.
