30 miles = approximately 2,827 square miles. That is a massive search area. Her body could have been anywhere. You're following the brief Netflix clip, which gave no details or context but was crafted to follow the Bradley family's preferred (unconfirmed) timeline. |
follow the thread, don't deviate. If you can't find an entire plane full of people, you're not going to find one body in the ocean. that's the bottom line. |

Look folks, the recent debate about her falling overboard came about because it just sounds really dismissive to just jump on the thread and say I think she drowned. While that is certainly a possibility, people are simply pointing out that that would be highly unlikely given that scenario was explored, there was a search, and she didn’t disappear in the middle of the ocean, but much closer to when they were coming to port.
Again, not impossible but unlikely. It’s also a very rare occurrence to have an upper middle class adult traveling on a cruise with her family to become a victim of sex trafficking. The point is there is no straightforward answer for what happened to her so if people simply say things like she drowned people are going to argue why that is unlikely. |
It would have been EASIER to find her body because authorities knew where it should end up. It wasn’t like searching the vast expanse of water where a plane that’s disappeared from radar and is traveling much, much faster might have gone down. |
Nobody searched the ocean. We’re just talking about the expanse of shoreline where the currents would have carried a body. |
That's simply not true because the timeline was unconfirmed, resulting in a huge search area. |
But we’re not talking about searching the water where she disappeared; we’re talking about the shoreline where she should have washed ashore. That’s not a huge search area. |
| A human jawbone from a Caucasian female n her 20’s actually was found in the area. Authorities thought it might be Natalee Halloways but when they tested it it wasn’t from her. Surprisingly it was never tested to see if it was from Amy Bradley. |
I read there was something about it (wisdom teeth, I think) that made it obvious it wasn't hers. |
If the ship were 30 miles out (ie much farther than the Bradleys are positing), not necessarily. Look at the case with the NOVA girl who drowned on spring break. She was one of 4 people who drowned at that location in the past year, and only one body was found. This was right offshore. Currents are not predictable like you and the heavily-skewed Netflix program are suggesting. |
I would agree with you if she’d only disappeared a year ago, but no remains have ever been found, no scrap of clothing, nothing in years and years. |
I don't understand your point. Nothing at all was found from those other bodies either, or from many other bodies that were never recovered. Once they're swept out to sea, they're gone. Period. Sometimes I think people just don't comprehend how vast the ocean is, and how quickly any surviving remnants sink, degrade, or are otherwise lost forever. |
Yes, look at the Titanic. We know exactly where the ship sank but the bodies were all scavenged by marine life then gradually disintegrated. Just gone. |
Sometimes clothing items survive, but any scraps would be at the bottom of the ocean at this point. Or just disintegrated. Shoes are the most likely to survive, but it seems she wasn't wearing any. After 27 years, the odds of any remnant of her body surviving are slim to none. |
Recently there have been women who have drowned and experts have said they'd find them, and they have failed. I think the biggest variable here, is just the expanse of water. It is outside of human control. |
