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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?
