ts time for #TheTruthAtLast regarding the Earhart disappearance. The government media complex has kept the true fate of these two American heroes a secret for 81+ years. Forget all the "theories". They died in service to their country and paid the ultimate price and they deserve no less than honor. In this hard-hitting interview with Earhart author, blogger and respected authority Mike Campbell (#TheTruthAtLast) we follow the trail of the hundreds of eyewitness and secondary witness accounts and supporting evidence gathered by active journalists, reporters, and military veterans who volunteered information about the missing fliers based upon their experiences in Marshall islands and Saipan. Mike Campbell's book The Truth At Last is the #1 ranked Earhart-related book at Amazon among 1,500 books.

Without a doubt, Mike Campbell is the best-informed living authority on the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, having amassed thousands of documents and interviews with authors, journalists, witnesses,and persons involved in or knowledgeable of Earhart's life and untimely disappearance from the world stage on July 2nd, 1937.. Mike is a crash and capture proponent, and believes that all the other so-called theories out there are a waste of focus and energy, especially when the answer lies right in front of us. When I reached out to him for this interview, he said he did not do interviews, having grown disgusted with journalism's stubborn persistence to follow any and all explanations for her disappearance that didn't involve Japanese capture and imprisonment. Finally, he relented, and what resulted is a fantastic two hours called AMELIA EARHART: THE TRUTH AT LAST.
