[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She looked really out of it in the video.   Dancing way too slow for the beat - everyone else is fast dancing and she’s in her own zone.  Doesn’t look drunk to me - more like E.    [/quote]
So what’s your theory? No snark, I’m genuinely curious.

Let’s say she’s drunk and drugged, makes it back to her hotel at 3am or whatever time it was. Smokes with brother, falls asleep on balcony. Dad sees her at 5:30, but by 6 she’s gone.

What happened? [/quote]

NP but here's a theory I've been building while reading all of these comments (I did watch the Netflix special, but I don't think I watched it as closely as some - it was on in the background while teleworking).  I think that Yellow was kind of a generic hustler - maybe sold a little drugs, definitely slept with a bunch of women on the boat, and may have had unsavory connections but I don't think he actively trafficked women off of cruise ships.  Like, the suitcase of pictures of white women is strange, but there's no corresponding trail of missing white women from all the cruises he's been on.  I think he was keeping mementos of conquests, or possibly conquests + hot women he would show to his friends and pretend that he'd slept with.

I think Amy got drunk at the bar and he gave her some drugs, not slipped it to her but she wanted to take them.  Then he said she would have to pay him - this is why she comes back out with him at 6am.  She brought money, he says "that's not enough, it's $200 more".  She doesn't have that, but he says that she can go to an ATM right on the dock and pay so-and-so who is the guy she really owes, and she drunkenly/stupidly decides to do this quickly rather than wake anyone up, alert her family to the predicament, or try to sneak away from her family while they're on Curacao together (they spent the entire day on Aruba doing pre-planned excursions; likely the same was planned for the next day).  But when she gets there either the price keeps going up or she tries to buy more or the ATM isn't where it was supposed to be so he has to drive her to one: I don't know what but something happens that ties her up with the drug dealer on shore, and at this point she's just a thin young white woman who is drunk/high/disoriented/shoeless, so the whole "it's too risky to take an American citizen off a cruise!" angle doesn't really apply.  She gets swept into a seedy underworld, hooked on much harder drugs (they could have kept her near catatonic for the first few days until the boat leaves and the furor dies down, then move her to Barbados or something), and is probably dead by 2007/2008.

This lines up with 1) her being seen with Yellow again in the elevator after she went to the room, 2) her being seen by witnesses after the fact at the brothel/on the beach, 3) her being shoeless when she left the room, 4) the railing being too high for an accidental fall for someone her height, and 5) the tie-in to the Caribbean trafficker that has been mentioned.  Yellow's polygraph was inconclusive because he didn't want to say he even talked to her later that night, let alone that he was trying to run a scam on her to get money.  He could also have been afraid of the people who ended up taking her, if he knew who they were.  I think he thought of the whole thing as a light-work shakedown and when it devolved into something worse his reaction both out loud and internally was "this has NOTHING to do with me!"

Okay, going back to keep reading from the point of this comment I'm replying to.  Just wanted to write this down before it got away from me (or one of you debunks it before I can say it out loud!).[/quote]

I completely agree with paragraph 1, your take on Yellow. I did initially think you she left the ship voluntarily to get recreational drugs then got into trouble. It makes sense Yellow wouldn't be willing to disclose this due to fear of losing his job. However, I now think she fell and that they were farther out in the ocean based in the inconsistencies in the father's timelines. I'm not certain of this because of the semi-credible eyewitness sightings, but it is more likely than not they were all mistaken. A fall is the most credible theory, and she did seem quite wasted when she was waiting for the elevator.[/quote]
