And so Giancarlo and Miriam launched an investigation to find the planes and hopefully bring those pilots to justice. Step one in Miriam and Giancarlo's investigation was locating the planes that were used for the death flights. Years had passed, and they had very little idea where to begin.

The Navy officer had participated in two of the flights. By the time Miriam and Giancarlo launched their investigation, he had blown the whistle and given an interview with two Argentine journalists. They then wrote a best-selling book on the subject called The Flight.

Through digital records, they could trace the transaction history of the planes. When they were first built, who bought them, and how many times they had exchanged hands since. They learned that three of the planes used were actually still in use. One was in Luxembourg and being used for commercial flights. Another was in the UK and operated by defense forces.

And the third was in Florida, owned by a private courier. So they sent a Miami-based freelance journalist named Bruno to interview the owner. Miriam prepared a long list of questions for him.

They tried to get in touch with the owner of the Florida plane, but Miriam says once he learned what they were doing, he fled the country. So they reached out to a second pilot who was able to identify some glaring irregularities in the plane's technical flight logs. From her experience as a survivor, Miriam knew the death flights typically happened on Wednesdays.

Records indicated that many of those flights had taken much longer than they should have if the plane was making a routine trip. A flight from point A to point B might take hours longer than it should, far more than could be accounted for by an unforeseen delay or margin of error. The only problem was their pilot wasn't willing to go public with his findings for their story.

The story eventually premiered on television news. Miriam says that at that point, they had the names of the pilots who flew those suspicious flights, but they chose not to reveal them. They needed more evidence, and they were worried that the pilots might flee the country before they could be charged. Many were still working for international airlines.
