Amelia (Earheart), CrazyHorse, and (Jimmy) Hoffa are all historical figures who disappeared. Amelia Earheart was a famous female pilot who, in an attempt to fly around the world, disappeared somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. Crazy Horse was a Native American chief, and although I don't think he disappeared, there's a lot of controversy over how he died. Jimmy Hoffa was a teamster's union leader who disappeared.
I don't think knowledge of the historical figures adds too much meaning to the song though -- he's trying to find someone to who love/loves him (and is frustrated/overwhelmed at the idea of doing so)
