The woman in the picture is HER! She definitely got trafficked.

This.

This makes the most sense.

If you’ve ever been in a cruise cabin, you know how small they are. The parents would be asleep in a bed between the balcony and bathroom. Opening the door would wake everyone up. It’s loud.

I think it’s very likely that she ended up in the ocean, but the door leading from the balcony into the cabin was left 10-14” open, per Amy’s dad. Either she or her brother had left it open. Her dad also says “something” awoke him around 6am. The something could have been Amy exiting the cabin into a hallway. There were young women on the ship who had spent time talking to Amy and claim they saw her take an elevator going up with Yellow (the musician) around 6am, but only Yellow came back down.

I’m not convinced she was smuggled off the ship, but there is no way that a scan card system is infallible. Shit happens and there isn’t 100% compliance with official procedures. A crew member would know how to sneak people or things off the ship.


The timeline isn’t exact.

And there tend to be a decent number of crew and passengers up and about at 6am (especially on a port day).

I think those girls might have seen them together earlier. Maybe.

But how could they see them going off together and him returning alone? Were they just parked by the elevator?

If that was the case, it would point towards a sexual assault and murder, not holding her prisoner someplace and finding a way to sneak her off a ship during a port day where they scan everyone getting off the boat.


I didn’t think it was an elevator. … The two girls said after they left the bar they weren’t quite ready to go to bed so they went up on the top deck to hang out. They claim they saw Amy and Yellow walking around there, but remember this was in the middle of the night after drinking and they didn’t know Amy personally.

The alleged witness specifically mentioned that she and her friend were sitting on the deck, chatting, and they saw Amy and Yellow enter a well lit glass elevator and go up, but only Yellow came back down that elevator a little while later. Supposedly, the girls headed to their cabin soon after. They didn’t use a key card to enter the cabin (the mother of one of them opened the door from the inside to let them in), so there’s no way to verify the time, but the witness recalled the mom asking why they were out so late and saying that it was almost 6am.

That just seems unlikely.

The crew member in the band basically would have risked his entire career as well as his freedom for what? To traffic one white girl? The risk isn’t worth the reward. He earned more with his 6 month cruise contract (that allowed him to not work the rest of the year) than potential cash for trafficking someone who very easily would stick out like a sore thumb on any island filled with people who aren’t white.

I’m still stumped as to why a lesbian who poured her heart out to a girl who ghosted her would hook up with an older black guy in the first place. Seems unlikely, which is why the theory of drugging her has caught on.

But remember the DC intern who went missing and everyone wanted to pin it on the elected official she was having an affair with? That theory didn’t make sense either: risk wasn’t worth the reward (and it eventually came out that she was murdered by some random hood).



His side gig might have been trafficking girls to order. Maybe that is why he took the photos (his “catalogue”).

A band member who worked part time and had a family would have needed extra income.
(Part of his compensation for the cruise was undoubtedly food and a cabin.The cash was probably limited.)

Entry level musicians NOW—27 years later—make only $2400 a month.

I think they kept her drugged and under threat of death or death to her family. The whole thing is sad

When they had the crew search the entire ship, they were each responsible for searching their own private cabins, so if she was drugged by a crew member and being kept in their cabin until they could sneak her off the ship, she wouldn’t have been found during the search.

I know. Having each crew member search their own cabins is a huge problem.

Law enforcement would never do that, but as has been pointed out, cruise lines have a major conflict of interest.

No, their memories were very specific.

Women are never believed.

It is like they are children or assumed to be confused.

There’s no way that happened.

If you’ve cruised, you know they tightly control who gets on and off—including crew. They scan your card and match a photo to each person before they exit. No way anyone could just walk off.

Snd fell off, jumped off, or was pushed off. Those are the only 3 options.


Have you actually watched all 3 episodes of the documentary?


Have you actually walked on or off a cruise ship? There’s one exit and they scan your card and match the picture on file with the person. Nobody gets on or off without the cruise line knowing. It’s just not possible.


There are other ways to exit a cruise ship.


Correct.

You can jump, or fall, or be pushed.

But no, you cannot exit a ship in port without going through the secure exit. While they have a loading dock, there’s no way a passenger could go that route.

Plus, if you want to kidnap and traffic someone (a white lady), then you kidnap them at a resort…not on a cruise ship where it’s impossible to get off the ship unnoticed.

Sadly, a lot of people jump off ships to kill themselves…and their families are always shocked. Some woman did it within the last year. Her relatives weren’t that surprised actually.


I agree accident or suicide seems more likely but if you are a bad enough guy to drug someone and sell them into sexual slavery, you could probably also put them in a box and bring them out the cargo loading dock. Or put them in a bass case if you’re a musician or whatever. I don’t know if they were x raying packages back then the way they do now when you get on or off a ship.

If she left the room to go meet Yellow or whatever she did she leave her sandals on the deck? Seems unlikely she would have put on a different pair of shoes especially if she was hungover and maybe still groggy. My guess is she leaned over and fell. It was very early in the morning so unlikely anyone would have noticed. The interaction Judy had with a young woman in the bathroom to me seems believable but she almost seemed too eager to tell it and if she really sensed the woman was in danger, why didn’t she do anything about it?

Agree I found that odd. Why didn’t he go and say good morning or see if she wanted to come inside and get into bed? I wouldn’t have left my grown daughter on the balcony at the crack of dawn. Then he said “something” then woke him up-I think it was her falling. Maybe the table moved when it happened but that’s when he said she was no longer there. So did he drift back off to sleep between 5:45 and 6:30? The timeline is very strange.

I don’t think it’s strange he didn’t invite her to come in. The whole family was sharing a small cabin. The parents had gone to bed, but the kids were out partying for most of the night. Amy and her brother had each returned to the cabin separately. Then they went out on the balcony to smoke. Then the brother came back inside the cabin, but Amy stayed on the balcony. The ship was coming into port early that morning, and the dad had been awakened multiple times during the night by the kids. The poor guy was trying to get some sleep and he thought Amy was smoking.
