They'd be grown now, but I agree with PP hard to see how she'd have kids in her situation. |
Exactly. She was smoking and relaxing on the balcony then *was seen* shortly after going back to the disco with the bass player, at close to 6am. Then she wasn't spotted again, but it had nothing to do with the balcony. |
Her brother said Netflix had more information but didn’t air it all. Maybe the FBI wants to keep some things under wraps. |
This gives me hope, actually. Cotten must be in their sights with his recent trial. |
I was all in on the sex trafficking theories at first, but after doing a deeper dive, now question it. The sex worker website photos have been only selectively published. There are others that show the parts of the body that should have tattoos but there are none.
I still think the other sightings were credible and maybe it was about drugs instead. |
I really thought it was her. Her mouth/teeth, in particular, are pretty unique. Is it possible the tattoos were airbrushed because they were too distinctive? Don't know if that was a thing twenty years ago. |
Netflix also left out other information that I think is interesting, and I’m not sure if it is just not part of the “where is she?” narrative or if it muddies the picture of the family and the people who claim to have seen Amy. First, I don’t think there was any mention of the family’s failed lawsuits against RC. Second, the family was scammed out of a lot of money by someone claiming to have seen Amy and who was going to rescue her. |
I think the lawsuits were dismissed because the family maintained she was alive yet were trying to get damages for her death. RC apparently introduced 100 witness sightings to suggest she left intentionally rather than under nefarious circumstances. This is a strange case. |
I'm left wondering about Amy's relationship with her family. On the one hand, she had a lot of positives in her life, lots to live for. On the other pressure by her family to deny her queer identity must have been crushing. I wonder what the dynamic was like on the ship, and how much time they actually spent together. There is the possibility (if all the RC witness sightings have any truth) that, frustrated and fed up, she left on her own and then got stuck in a bad situation. It might explain the Caribbean internet hits on meaningful dates yet no direct contact. Just talking out loud. There is no hypothesis that perfectly fits the evidence. |
There's also the question of drugs. Was she really just after weed, or was she already on harder stuff. |
It all comes down to credility of the sightings. The most important one is the top deck one, where the two women saw her with the bassist. They seemed to have no doubt, and that would have been after she was on the balcony. That means she didn't fall or jump, a hypothesis I have trouble with anyway due to the height of the railing.
If that's correct, then how she left the boat is the big question. Did the bassist hook her up with a drug dealer, and it quickly went south? How long was the boat docked? Could she have missed it, and that's why the taxi driver saw her looking for a phone? Then the drug dealers offered her a place to stay and she was entrapped? I agree none of the scenarios fit exactly. |
Or make up? |
Her brother said they were tipsy. You don’t have to be sloppy drunk to feel sick from the effects of 6-7 beers over several hours. She wasn’t feeling well and probably fell asleep on the deck, but she still could have woken up hung over and not 100% steady on her feet. I’ve fallen asleep tipsy and still have had the tipsy feeling waking up. It’s not outside the realm that she hoisted herself up on the balcony to take a photo. She may not have been steady from drinking the night before and fell over. Did the doc say her camera was left behind or not? I can’t remember what they said about that-I thought the camera and film were missing. |
Brother has the camera-NOT missing |
I think the only things missing were Amy, the clothes she had on, cigarettes and lighter. Which could have been in her pocket.
An accident fall to me is out of the question. I'm 5'0" and getting over a 54 inch railing is very difficult (not impossible). It would be very intentional. You do not throw up, or talk to the guy next door, etc and just fall over a railing that high. |
