        Below Are Excerpts From The Seven-Year Swindell/Beyond 
        37' Forensic Analysis. The Samples Shown Here Represent A Small Portion 
        Of The Overall Study; One That Includes Full Head To Toe Body 
        Comparisons, Published Photos Of The Different Individuals The Study 
        Discovered To Have Shared The Same Irene Craigmile Bolam Identity, (One 
        Shown Here In The Lower Middle Column) And Even Handwriting And Voice 
        Comparisons Further Matching One Of The Irenes To Amelia. [A Large Photo 
        Panel From The Study Appeared As A Backdrop In A National Geographic 
        Channel Earhart Special.] In 1997 Beyond 37's Investigative Researcher- 
        Filmmaker Tod Swindell Began A Long Trail Of Consulting With Human 
        Identity Experts, Medical Professionals, And Document Examiners. Also 
        Referred To Were Academic Textbooks On The Subjects Of Human Body And 
        Character Trait Comparison Techniques. The Study Results Were First Made 
        Public In Colonel Rollin C. Reineck's 2004 Book,
        Amelia Earhart Survived. 
        After Reading And/Or Hearing About It, Other Enthusiasts Such As Dave 
        Deal Duplicated The 'Overlay Method' With Amelia Photos To Yield The 
        Same Positive Results.  |

          The nose difference evidenced itself as a common 'deviated septum 
          rhinoplasty' procedure. So much slightly flattened it to widen the 
          passages. The upper nose bridge was thinned, and from straight on her 
          brow ridge became a bit more furrowed. Human identity forensic ID 
          qualifiers such as DNA, dental records, and fingerprints help solve 
          cases that involve 'missing-person' 
          body evidence. But the Irene-Amelia case was very unusual. The 
          enormous amount of forensic research data long pre-supporting the 
          Gervais claim, (to later include the Irene 'shared identity' 
          discovery) made it all but impossible, or irresponsible to simply 
          ignore the controversy. Many self-proclaimed 'Amelia Earhart research 
          authorities' tried their best to deride the Gervais equation, (and 
          still do) mostly because they found it hard to believe Amelia would 
          opt out of her public life.

          By now it is fair to calculate how the former Amelia Earhart had 
          been working with the family of the original Irene Craigmile, and how 
          she had confided in, and worked with some of her past friends to 
          include her own Sister Muriel Morrissey, in an effort to successfully 
          change her identity in pursuit of further avoiding the public eye. She 
          also apparently worked with the Catholic Church, the ZONTA 
          organization, certain masonic figureheads, and United States, Japan, 
          and England historical divisions in order to achieve the future 
          non-famous person status she desired. Again, all to secure her further 
          non-public person status.

           After she gave birth to her Son in 1934 the original Irene no longer 
          appeared. Records of her past existence were obfuscated for any future 
          public referencing, and the short marriage she endured with her Son's 
          Father, Al Heller was legally annulled by 1940. Meanwhile Amelia 
          Earhart had turned up 'missing' in 1937. Notably, if the original 
          Irene Craigmile Heller died at some point (for instance as a result of 
          post-childbirth complications) there appeared to be no record of such 
          a thing having happened. However, apparently it was the case that the 
          original person known as Irene Craigmile in the 1930s who Amelia had 
          known, was a person who actually did disappear at some point after she 
          gave birth to her son in 1934, and she was never seen again. It is 
          certain the former Amelia Earhart, during the time adjacent to the 
          World War Two era, assumed the original Irene Craigmile's still extant 
          ID value for her own future use in order to live further in anonymity. 
          This, while she also continued with helping to raise of the original 
          Irene Craigmile's Son, and her own Canadian born daughter from 1924 no 
          one knew of who had also been taken in by the O'Crowley family after 
          Amelia suddenly became famous in 1928. Mr. Swindell's research states 
          it is the younger (mid-twenties) and older version (age fifty-eight in 
          1982) of Amelia's non-recognized birth daughter featured in the bottom 
          middle in the photo section on this page. He points to Lloyd Royer, 
          one of two men besides George Putnam to have proposed to Amelia, as 
          the likely Father. A highly controversial assessment to be sure, this 
          too remains to be disproved. The bottom line is, the true identity of 
          the woman featured on the cover of Irene Bolam's 1982 Memorial Dinner 
          program... has never been authoritatively revealed... either by still 
          living O'Crowley or Earhart family relatives, or by some other entity 
          whom does know who she really was, or still is.

          The Beyond 37' film, book, and website projects are dedicated to the 
          late USAF Major Joseph A. Gervais (1924-2005) and the late USAF Col. 
          Rollin C. Reineck (1920-2007). Both were World War Two heroes who 
          learned the basic Irene-Amelia truth decades ago. Major Gervais, who 
          was considered by many to have been the most devoted Amelia Earhart 
          researcher ever having pursued the mystery since 1960, discovered the 
          Irene-Amelia reality in 1965. The controversial 1970 McGraw-Hill book 
          by Joe Klaas, Amelia Earhart Lives expounded on the enormous 
          amount of Joe Gervais' investigative research, and displayed the first 
          nationally published photo of Irene-Amelia. Myriad fallout the
          Amelia Earhart Lives 
          book caused notwithstanding, and still lacking official authoritative 
          guidance, Colonel Reineck spent the last several years of his life 
          trying to advance the Gervais claim of Earhart's name-changed survival 
          to authenticity. Colonel Reineck's book Amelia Earhart Survived, 
          published in late 2003, was largely inspired by the Irene-Amelia 
          forensic studies of Beyond 37's Tod Swindell. Several portions of the 
          analysis appeared in the Reineck book, and more samples are better 
          displayed in this website. [Beyond 37' was formed in 2001 by the Tod 
          Evan Company in Los Angeles. It is run  by Investigative 
          Researcher/Filmmaker Tod Swindell, who also serves as Chief Editor of 
          Irene-Amelia.Com]
