Her shoes were black uppers with white or yellow rimmed soles. You can see them in an image just before the plane lands in the water.

The pilot, whose name officials refuse to release, claims the plane's engine suffered a catastrophic failure after he heard a large bang shortly after takeoff . The pilot told authorities that he was successful in getting life vests on the planes' eight passengers before it crashed into the ocean about a half-mile offshore. The pilot says that he decided to swim ashore after the passengers began to drift from the crash site. The Coast Guard says it received a distress call around 3:27 p.m. Wednesday afternoon from the pilot of another plane who saw the crash debris. Coast Guard and Maui Fire Rescue helicopters rescued the surviving passengers from the ocean.

It's hard to tell what the color of her soles are because they are in shadow versus bright sun light.
If you watch the video from NightLine you can see her feet one at a time come in and out of the water. She's pedaling her feet.

The pilot did not swim to shore, one of the passengers did.
If you were going to kill or disappear Ms. Fuddy you wouldn't concoct a scheme involving hundreds of strangers from numerous walks of life. You wouldn't crash land a plane (especially one with fixed landing gear) into the ocean if the goal was to put her into a witness protection program.
You guys are venturing into the fake moon landing territory.

Schuman declined to identify pilot, whom he has known since 1996, but said he flew for Aloha Airlines before it went out business in 2008 and other air carriers in Hawaii. "He joined us full time a year ago," Schuman said.

The Rev. Pat Killilea, pastor of St. Francis Church at Kalaupapa, said he didn't see the plane hit the water, but watched rescue operations from Kalaupapa's airport where the survivors were taken. Killilea said the pilot swam to shore to get help for the passengers floating offshore. "He (pilot) had been able to get the passengers out of the plane wearing their life vests. However, once in the water they were beginning to drift apart and so he decide to swim to shore to get help," Killilea said this morning in a phone interview. He added, "There was blood on his (pilot's) chest when he arrived at the airport." Also, while at the airport, Killilea said he spoke with crash survivors including Deputy Health Director Keith Yamamoto; Rosa Key, a National Park Service administrator at Kalaupapa; and Key's husband, Jake. The names of the pilot and other passengers have not been released. Killilea said Fuddy's body was taken to the settlement's care home where he held a prayer service for her. Her body was later taken to Molokai General Hospital. Killilea described the scene at the airport as "hectic but calm" as nurses and people from settlement attended to the eight survivors. "That's what happens here," Killilea said. "Everyone was on board to help."
