I don’t know that this looks like someone who only drank six light beers. I don’t know what happened to her that night, but I think there is a chance that she was very out of it or even roofied by that a-hole in the band. People mentioned that she was tipsy or hungover back in the room, but she may have been so much more messed up than anyone is mentioning. Also, they always show the photo of Amy in the black formal dress from that fancy night on the cruise - it’s the photo on all of the missing person and reward ads. So strange that the parents chose that photo of her, which doesn’t represent her current style of dress at that time in her life at all, according to any other pictures shown of her. I find that particularly sad that the parents are still presenting that feminine image of her even in the missing ads. |
I think if most people had nice clear, well lit photos taken of their daughter by a professional photographer within the 48 hours before she vanished — photos that clearly show the color of her eyes, the exact length of her hair — they’d use them for the missing posters. Why would anyone use older, lower quality photos? |
It is clear the family knows way more than they are revealing!
1.The parents did NOT accept her being gay. The mother loved when she wore the black dress and had male staff flirt with her. But that wasn't her usual attire. As soon as she could she changed out of it. 2. The family obviously knows more. It is super strange two adult M/F siblings were sharing a bed/pull out sofa that isn't that big. What brother/sister that age would share a bed. That is super weird. Why wouldn't the mom and Amy share and the Dad and Brad share? If the dad saw her at 5:30 am. outside on a balcony, he wouldn't have her come into the room or throw a blanket or towel over her? 3. Her shoes -Birkenstocks (beloved by so many lesbians all over the world) were still on the balcony and none of her other shoes were missing. No way she is going up on deck or off the boat without her Birkenstocks. Someone would have noticed a barefoot young woman since most to the cruise passengers were older. 4. Her parents after she is missing only an hour want her to be paged and the boat not to dock? Why? Cruiseships are massive. There are several places to grab coffee or to walk around to see the sun rise. She is 23 and they have no problem with her staying out until 3 am, but she is missing one hour from 6-7 and they want all hands on deck searching for her? Why were they so insistent about the boat not docking? And if they were so insistent why didn't they have one member of the family stationed on the dock watching people? 5. Your daughter goes missing and you LEAVE the boat and fly home a day early? WTF? How are you not continuing to ask questions. I would have said I want a cadaver dog to search the boat or a search and rescue dog to meet the boat. I would have spoken to the band members or been canvasing at the night clubs with her picture. 6. She was 23 and went to college on a basketball scholarship. She has very short hair and wasn't a small woman who could be easily pushed around. Then there is a 250K reward. Someone would have claimed the 250K if she were sex trafficked. Besides, no way traffickers would want her someone that old who is a college graduate who was used to being physical playing basketball. They would have picked the 18 year old who was walking on the deck in the morning who said she saw Amy and Yellow. I would believe traffickers would want her but no way would they want Amy. 7. The mom said she when she called it a night she told Amy she would see her tomorrow. But they were staying in the same cabin. Why wouldn't she say see you when you come in. 8. When asked about drinking, the dad said everyone was drinking. Well no everyone wasn't drinking on the cruise. The family knows more! |

She WAS a small woman. That was clearly stated, sporty, strong but small. |

This is the point that always bothered me. If he just saw her at 5:30, why was he so concerned just an hour later that he was begging the crew to delay disembarkation? I guess I would have assumed that she left the room for a myriad of reasons--dozing on a deck chair rather than share a tiny foldaway sofa with her brother, needed to be sick and was looking for a public bathroom, just out to enjoy the sunrise, meeting a new "friend" (male or female), eating breakfast, etc. I'm a helicopter mom and I don't think I would have even stirred out of bed, much less jumped up to conduct a full-scale search and report her missing. Not sure what it means though, unless there was some sort of conversation or action before she went missing that had him concerned. |
I don’t know if “the family knows more”, except for maybe the brother, but I certainly agree with all of those points above. This family is odd and wants portray their daughter as a beautiful, feminine young lady, who men on the cruise were falling all over. No, she looked like a typical young lesbian, and it’s not the sort of look that sex traffickers were looking for. |
I could believe that there was some exchange or some very f*cked up behavior that happened in the early morning hours. Maybe a discussion that led the family to panic? Maybe she was really out of it and that caused them to worry so quickly? But then why leave her alone on the balcony? The dad seemed blasé the night before about his kids socializing with random people in the club but then goes into immediate panic in the morning when she’s not there? Seems like maybe she said something or did something that worried them? And was the mom just dead to the world all night in this tiny room? I don’t get it. So much to ponder and think about with this situation. |
1000% this! Excellent write up. Really great point about the shoes; no one would leave their stateroom without shoes in general, but especially when they were RIGHT THERE. I think she might have somehow accidentally fallen overboard. I believe the parents minds’ immediately jumped to “she committed suicide because we disapproved of her lifestyle” and desperately wanted ANYTHING else to be true, as a deflection of their own guilt. You mention the black dress and the male attention—I wonder if earlier in the evening, had her mother been commenting relentlessly about dressing up, or pointing out how men noticed her beauty, etc etc? Maybe they assumed she had jumped because of this and couldn’t deal with that being their reality. I have no clue why they wouldn’t have assumed she went overboard instead. I’m not actually convinced her father actually saw her at 5:30am, and I think that’s possibly why she never washed up on Curaçao—she fell overboard much earlier than that. |
I don't know why people are making such a big deal about shoes. She may have had another pair right by her bed or the door and grabbed those instead. Maybe flip flops.
And why are people simply disregarding the eyewitness sighting close to 6am? |
All of her shoes were accounted for. |
No, they weren't. The family said they had no idea how many shoes she brought. They knew she had tennis shoes, the Birks, and a dressier pair, but weren't sure what else. |
My mistake. |
This is what doesn’t add up to me.
Dad claims he woke at 5:30am and saw Amy on the balcony, then went back to bed. Then he wakes again somewhere “around” 6am and she’s gone. So he knew it was exactly 5:30am but isn’t sure what time it was when he woke again? How is he sure it was 5:30am when he saw her? But most of all, if he woke up “around” 6am, that was enough time to wake, search the entire ship for her, come to a dire conclusion, contact ship authorities, and surmise that the ship needed to stop debarkation? All of this happened in 60 minutes? I’ve never sailed on Rhapsody, but I’ve sailed on a ship the next size larger. It takes nearly an hour to get to coffee, prepare coffee, and walk back, nevermind lingering as to not wake your family, or to enjoy the sunrise or entry into port. An hour is absolutely nothing on ship time. |
How many pairs of shoes do you think Young, not wealthy (non lipstick) lesbian brought on her trip in the tiny cabin with her parents? Come on. |
