I agree with others about the family. I felt they tried too hard to come across as this super close, lovey family. I don’t think they murdered her, but their story doesn’t add up. Like someone else mentioned, I thought it was super weird they left the ship early. There’s no way I would have left. You would have wanted to talk with the FBI when you docked.
I find it interesting so many people discount the FBI analysis of the photos.
I also agree with others about the cruise director, he was an odd fish.
I don’t understand what about her look you think would be appealing to either crew or sex trafficker. This was in the late 90s when “the Rachael” was the popular haircut. She had a butch haircut very short, not feminine looking.
This. I’m sure she was a nice woman and her parents loved her, but not everyone is beautiful, and that’s ok.
The men were tripping over themselves for her? Really?
Of course you picked the least flattering photo. I've noticed she looks quite different in photos depending on hairstyle and weight fluctuations. She was slim, attractive, and vivacious--looked great at the time of the cruise.

She’s neither ugly nor gorgeous, but let’s not pretend men were salivating in the way her mother claims.
I Am guessing she had a fun and dynamic personality and was very boisterous, so people were drawn to her as someone to hang out and party with. Mom mistook this for men being attracted to her. Partially because that’s what moms do, and partially because she was desperate for her to get with a man instead of women.

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.

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.
And don’t they still have her packed luggage? I’m sure from that they can deduce which shoes were/were not missing. it wouldn’t take much to account for casual shoes she brought with her and assume she didn’t walk out of the room in heels. The parents seem odd to me and I agree they seem like they created an image of Amy in their heads that wasn’t real. Poor woman. She probably felt rejected by her family. Still I think this was accidental rather than suicide.

Even drunk (and at that point likely not that drunk), would not have jumped from that height. But she was partying, never went to sleep, probably just walked right off the boat and who knows what happened then.

The Netflix documentary has been out a couple of weeks now. I feel like if she was alive, something would have happened or someone would have come forward with more info by now.
What about the IP address in Barbados that goes to that website on holidays and her mom’s birthday?
That's because she's dead, sadly. Whether on the cruise or sometime in the decade after, she's not alive. Heartbreaking for her family, but I hope they can start to come to terms with it.

Yeah, I'm torn between these scenarios--drunken fall (would have screamed though...) that required a significant lean over an oddly shaped railing or left the boat to buy weed or E and got into trouble there. Maybe even initially fantasized about walking away from her life and family. The southern lady named Amy sightings are hard to completely dismiss.
No scenario makes complete sense. That's the problem!
Remember that the side table was up against the railing. Her shoes nearby.
WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE TABLE> THE FBI SAID IT MAY HAVE BEEN PUT THERE BY CLEANERS
FFS pay atttention.
You need to chill. The FBI said it MAY (as you even said) have been put there by cleaners. The fact is, it was found there. They did not say with certainty that the table was moved. There is not evidence that it was moved.
Do you move tables when cleaning a balcony where someone died? Odd.
