Several theories has been made, that Earheart and Noonan made it to the island Gardner Island (today Nikumaroro) where no one lived.
Another theory is that they would have a job to take photos of Japanese militarypositions and by that beeing caught and executed by the Japanase.
There is also a theory that the accident was caused by Noonans alcoholic problems.
