US serviceman have claimed finding Earhart's attaché and paperwork at the end of the war, on Saipan.

They claim to have been told to keep it quiet by the US Government

A government with a track record of not caring to care for citizens that get in trouble over seas. Especially back then

They could have wanted it "covered up" just to avoid dealing with it or concerns over international incident.

I'd be interested in learning more about the serviceman claims you mention.

I discovered the story originally while absentmindedly Googling about Earhart a few months ago (when I can't sleep I read about curious historical mysteries; Black Dahlia, DB Cooper, etc. Then I have a harder time sleeping!).

It could be hogwash, all built around rumors:
