The disappearance of pilot Amelia Earhart, which occurred in 1937 while trying to go around the world, is one of the great mysteries of aviation. But now, an alleged photo of him would prove an old theory that the Kansas-born pilot would have been captured by the Japanese when taken by a spy.

The photo is part of the material that will be presented on July 9 on the Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence (History Channel) program, in which the former executive assistant to the director of the FBI, Shawn Henry, tries to solve the mystery of his disappearance.

The photo shows Earhart alive and sitting on board a ship, apparently tied hands and taken prisoner.

On July 2, 1937, Earhart and his co-pilot, Fred Noonan, boarded their Lockheed Electra ship to depart New Guinea for Howland Island, in the Pacific Ocean, to complete the third stage of their feat.

The couple had to land on the small island that same day and from there continue to Hawaii and California, but never reached their destination. "We are running out of fuel," said the pilot in her last communication, who was approaching the island and whose messages were captured by the Coast Guard. “We have not been able to communicate by radio. We are flying 1,000 feet [high].”

The plane Earhart was traveling in was never rescued and one of the lucky theories that she and Noonan ran is that the pair had to make an emergency landing while stranded on Nikumaroro Island, west of the Pacific Ocean. "This absolutely changes history," says Henry about the discovery of the photo and the alleged evidence that will be presented during the television special. "I think we have proven beyond a doubt that she survived the flight and that she was taken prisoner by the Japanese on the island of Saipan, where she eventually died."
