In September 1979, South African writer Oliver Knaggs was hired by a film company to join Loomis in the Marshalls and chronicle his search. The Knaggs-Loomis connection is well known among Earhart buffs, but neither Loomis, in The Final Story, nor Knaggs, in his little-known 1983 book, Amelia Earhart: Her last flight (Howard Timmins, Cape Town, S.A), mentioned the other by name. In Her last flight, a collectors item known mainly to researchers, Knaggs recounts his 1979 and 81 investigations in the Marshalls and Saipan.
Knaggs wasnt with Loomis when Ralph Middle told him about Lijon and Jororo at Majuro in 1979, and wasnt there when Loomis interviewed Jororo. Knaggs wrote that our leader [Loomis] had told him of Lijons story, which he didnt believe initially, but later, when a village elder repeated it, Knaggs became interested. Knaggs returned to Mili in 1981 without Loomis but armed with a metal detector in hopes of locating Lijons silver container, and establishing his own claim to fame in the search for Amelia Earhart.
