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