A smoker wouldn't pick up the cigarettes and put them in their pocket to jump, she would have left them for her brother.
3 separate witnesses saw Amy with Yellow after she left the balcony. Unlikely they're all wrong.

I'm inclined to believe this, yes. It strains credulity to imagine a 50 year old woman has been held captive for nearly 30 years.
I think she died over the side of the ship.
But if she had been trafficked, they'd have killed her off by the time she turned 40

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.

I mean, really?
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.
I agree with this. I do think she was attractive and vivacious.
Anonymous wrote:"4. Her parents after she is missing only an hour want her to be paged and the boat not to dock? Why? Cruiseships are massive. There are several places to grab coffee or to walk around to see the sun rise. She is 23 and they have no problem with her staying out until 3 am, but she is missing one hour from 6-7 and they want all hands on deck searching for her? Why were they so insistent about the boat not docking? And if they were so insistent why didn't they have one member of the family stationed on the dock watching people?"
This is the point that always bothered me. If he just saw her at 5:30, why was he so concerned just an hour later that he was begging the crew to delay disembarkation? I guess I would have assumed that she left the room for a myriad of reasons--dozing on a deck chair rather than share a tiny foldaway sofa with her brother, needed to be sick and was looking for a public bathroom, just out to enjoy the sunrise, meeting a new "friend" (male or female), eating breakfast, etc. I'm a helicopter mom and I don't think I would have even stirred out of bed, much less jumped up to conduct a full-scale search and report her missing.
Not sure what it means though, unless there was some sort of conversation or action before she went missing that had him concerned.
