I thought he was awfully full of himself, and very callous. Not impressed.

He was awful! Agree that he was so full of himself.

Why didn’t he hold everyone on the ship when they docked? I think that was a huge mistake! By the time they did a search of the cabin it was too late.

See I thought he came across as heartless on the show, given what we know in hindsight (woman was never seen by her family again), but I thought the idea he should lock the whole ship down was pretty nuts. There are 2500 people on vacation wanting to get off the boat, and nobody can move because . . . a twenty something who shut the bar down last night hasn't been seen by her dad in 90 minutes?

The parents are freaking out but if I work on the boat my assumption at that point is she is in someone else's cabin either still having fun or sleeping it off, not chopped into pieces or thrown overboard or whatever else.

She was already dead.

It proves nothing about nothing. People get obsessed with stories. Look at this place.

This. And we weren't actually given the data. We don't know the exact dates and the duration of the viewing. If we saw the logs, could turn out to be completely random. Which I suspect it is. If Amy were alive and had access to the internet, she would contact her family. Period. It's sad their hopes were raised, but as the FBI has now said, there is no hard evidence Amy left the ship and survived.

Sadly, I believe she fell overboard.

What do you all think about the unknown person in Barbados who would look at photos of Amy's family online for long stretches on the holidays?

My question- if you thought your daughter was alive and on Curacao or Barbados, why wouldn’t you hire a private detective to live there for 6 months and try to bump into her? Maybe they did and the documentary just didn’t mention it? Also, I think it’s bananas that the FBI doesn’t work more closely with other countries (especially allies) for basic info like the IP address that keeps going to her website

You should listen to the podcast that is mentioned in this thread. It addresses those holes. They did hire private investigators and they also got scammed. There’s a lot more to the story vs what is covered in the Netflix documentary

What is the name of the podcast?

What makes their accounts slightly credible is that the person they *saw* identified themself as Amy from [West] Virginia. The witnesses having some amount of confirmation bias in how they recounted the event is still entirely plausible though.

eh no, not in every instance they did not - the woman on the beach did not. the woman in the bathroom maybe, but the older lady who met her had clearly been drinking a lot. Take it all with a pinch of salt, its not swear-on-the-bible truths here.

The older woman seemed a little nutty. Not sure whether she is credible. I believe the sex worker knew Amy's story (pretty infamous in that area) and was trying to hustle the military guy. Pretty convenient that "all she needed was $200 to be free"...

This

+2 The timeline of the 6am women eyewitnesses on the ship can't be verified. The others saw publicity about Amy months after their purported sightings and "matched" their memories to the more recent pics they saw. The Jas resemblance is striking at first but not convincing in the end. Too many small discrepancies, like the tip of the nose and shape of the upper lip and ear, that don't line up.

I think she fell, and it was a tragic accident that happened to a girl who was under the influence and had been awake for around 24 hours by that point.

I completely agree she fell.

I need to listen to the podcast, but currently I believe the band member is involved— either a premeditated crime or an accident.


So sad
