New Documentary Features Shocking Evidence Surrounding Earhart's Last Flight
07/05/2017

(KAIR)--A photograph potentially proving Amelia Earhart actually survived her final flight.

That's the subject of a new documentary Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence s where former FBI Executive Assistant Director Shawn Henry, investigates new, shocking evidence surrounding one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of all time, according to the History Channel website.

Lost for nearly 80 years, the photograph along with other evidence, might show Earhart didn't crash in the Pacific Ocean, as is widely believed, but crash-landed in the Marshall Islands where she was captured by the Japanese military and held prisoner on the island of Saipan.

Jacque Pregont is the Atchison Chamber of Commerce Director who works each year to organize Atchison's annual Amelia Earhart Festival celebrating America's first female aviator who originates from Atchison.

“Is it going to be proof enough that we say 'Yes, that's what we know happened,' or is it just going to be another side of the mystery?” Pregont said. “ We've had all those people here over the years who talk about things that they think happened. One of the ladies here last year, she was from Saipan and talked about her grandmother who saw this woman, and they were just sure it was Amelia.”

Pregont said it's going to be fun to see how this story progresses and see if they produce real evidence.

As for the impact on Atchison, Pregont said it's exciting.

“It's a lot of publicity,” Pregont said. “I know a couple TV stations have been in town today already. I've always said, any publicity about Amelia is wonderful for us. She's in the news, and inevitably, most stories say she was born in Atchison, Kansas. That's just about as good as you can get as far as we're concerned.”

The two-hour documentary is set to premiere July 9 on the History Channel.
