“Amy Bradley is Missing” Netflix

US citizen, involved family, well educated, older than an expected target, on a cruise ship where she would be noticed missing relatively quickly. It seems so extremely risky and like there are many other avenues available that would be far less risky.

I guess on some level I also just hope that’s not the case because it’s such an alarming and terrible potential outcome.

She also didn't have the look that people wanted in the late 90s. They wanted a virginal all american girl look, not an athletic woman with a butch haircut.

The family filed in court in Dec 1988 to declare her dead. The court found "presumed dead" on 5/14/99

Bradley vs. Bradley (Virginia, declare Amy Bradley dead to get death certificate, 1998) https://ibb.co/fUZAbQ https://ibb.co/hZosqk
5/14/99 "presumed dead". They tried suing Royal Caribbean but lost and had to pay Royal Caribbean.

The other strange thing is if Brad and Amy both were partying hard. Why did they not return to the cabin at the same time? Brad returned at 3:35 and she returned a few minutes later. If the siblings were so close, would a brother leave his wasted sister alone to make it back to the cabin?

I found that strange as well. They should have returned to the room together. Brad said in an interview that they ‘did their own thing’ at the club. He was off with people and she was hanging out with other people/dude from the band.

You are forgetting it was almost 30 years ago. Being gay was not that accepted, this would have made her appear vulnerable to traffickers. She was petite, attractive, and partying with the band and employees. They lay a lure and she walked into it. No cell phones, no life 360 or find my, no social media.

Cruise ships warn their employees about traffickers. Not because they care about their employees but they don’t want employees jumping shift at ports. Traffickers will attempt to lure employees with promises of higher wages, safety etc and then they are stuck. Cruise lines are truly horrible in terms of circling their wagons.

Because he was wasted too. The lack of real-life considerations in some of these posts is strange.

The other huge factor that no one seems to report is that prostitution in Curacao is LEGAL. In 1988 Curacao was part of the Netherlands where prostitution is legal and regulated. The Dutch Caribbean consists of six islands within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Three of these, Aruba, Curaçao, and Saint Maarten, are constituent countries, while the other three, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba, are special municipalities of the Netherlands, also known as the Caribbean Netherlands. Think like Puerto Rico or Guam for the United States. So why is someone going to traffic a 23 year old American into a place where prostitution is legal?

Alistar "Yellow" Douglas is from Grenada - a former British colony where English is spoken. Unlike Curacao where he native language of Curaçaoans is Papiamentu: a Creole language containing elements of Portuguese, Spanish, African languages, Dutch, French, English, and Arawak languages. While Dutch and English are spoken by some people, Papiamentu is used the most in local TV shows, in parliament, and on the street.

So it is ridiculous that Yellow is going to somehow kidnap Amy and take her to a country that he is not linguistically or culturally affiliated with in any manner. The really victim here is Yellow, his livelihood was completely ruined.

You’re conflating IS trafficking with violent offshore, Caribbean trafficking. Worlds different.

There is a table next to the rail. You step up to vomit to make sure the vomit goes overboard. She was on the 8th deck of the ship AND the cruise ship is traveling around 20 knots so that means there is wind.

I thought an FBI agent says in the documentary that the room was cleaned before law enforcement examined it as a crime scene, so they can’t be 100% sure that the table was in that same spot when Amy disappeared. It may have been moved.

Her missing posters say she was 5’4” and 120 lbs. It’s ridiculous to claim she was too big to be pushed around.

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.

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.

No matter how logical that conclusion is, the FBI can’t treat it as fact. It’s pure supposition.

Yeah, but she may have been drunk and looking to party. Easy takings, and at least she was white. In the p*rn website with her picture her hair was grown out significantly.

Alistar either trafficked her himself, hooked her up with a trafficker and pocketed a finder’s fee, or at a minimum knew of another crew member that did this. He kept quiet as he was either guilty or knew of others involved but didn’t want to implicate himself, or lose his job. Maybe he or another staff member owed someone money and this was the only way to pay them back.

At

I think he put her in touch with unsavory people for drugs, may or may not have known what the risks for her were.
