For 75 years, researchers, historians and scientists have
tirelessly sought answers in the mysterious disappearance of
Amelia Earhart. Competing theories have emerged, but with those
theories come more questions: Was the famed pilot lost at sea
after a crash? Did she and her co-pilot Frank Noonan survive on
a remote island? Was she kidnapped? For the past 27 years,
Broomfield resident Bill Prymak has studied Earhart's final
journey as the head of the Amelia Earhart Society, a group of
researchers and history buffs who share theories and information
across the globe. At the height of his research in the late '80s
and early '90s, Prymak traveled four times to the Marshall
Islands, where he interviewed potential eyewitnesses who said
they saw a plane crash in 1937. After working for years with
other Amelia Earhart Society researchers, he believes he knows
exactly what happened to Earhart and her co-pilot in 1937: They
crash-landed in the Mili Atoll of the Marshall Islands, where
they were captured by the Japanes
