Ikr. I was just thinking the same. I think it was an organized criminal ring and they had a person or persons inside to help them kidnapping young girls.

I’d have to disagree. I can somewhat relate to the stress one must be feeling when a love one has gone missing, but to fork over $200,000.00 to someone who’s only given you sketchy evidence or proof that he’s actually seen them is asinine, and they were ready to give away more.... Eee Gads!!

The moment that the Blue Orchids bass player knew she was missing before he should’ve, the FBI should’ve placed him under targeted surveillance & trailed his every movement.

He said the brothel was "out of bounds" for the Navy, so he was breaking it by visiting there. Still a lame excuse. He could've done something in some way without exposing himself. And to say he "forgot" about it? How? I couldn't! Yeah & it looks like Alistair handed her over to "them" that morning by waking her up with a call to lure her out of their cabin, drugged her drink enough for her not to pass out, keep her functioning yet disoriented. I'm sure the FBI strongly suspect him too but they got absolute zip to hold him for. Hope she's still alive & shows to her family some day despite any shame or unworthiness she may be feeling cuz they still love her & want her back regardless!

[@hardstyle2289]

@@Skindoggiedog too pixelated to be sure about ears, although the top of the ear seems wider on jazz she has a lot more hair and it could just be the hair pushing it out a bit as she leaning against something. The length and position on the head seem the same. Her nose and mouth and the position of those seem identical. She has some very distinctive cheekbones and laugh lines present on both pictures, same hair color aswell obviously. Chin seems same just a bit different angle on the comparison. Distance between eyes is identical. I would say there's a very high chance of that actually being her although that doesn't mean much. Those sites often use pictures of women they don't even know or old pictures and just try to scam people so it doesn't mean she was alive at that point. Don't forget even her parents are convinced that's her.

Don't go out of your way to be a hero and put yourself in harms way. Just... report it, keep tabs, keep notes. Even if it's a prank or a ploy, it's better to be safe than sorry. Because, honesty... I would hate myself if someone came to me for help and I shrugged it off only to find that this person WAS in distress and that I likely sent them to their death. That would haunt me forever.

[@celialovett5880]

Here are some cheerful facts: Cruise ships are 100% more concerned about taking your money than guaranteeing your safety. The cameras are there for their liability and protection and not yours. The film is the property of the cruise ship and even governmental agencies won't be able to see it. They do not run background checks on their employees nor do they mitigate the pollution they dump in the world's waterways. The rates of rape, assault and thievery on cruise ships are astounding. Folks, do your homework and you'll see for yourselves. Happy sailing!

[@clray123]

Eh, I'm pretty sure the companies do care about security, given the damage to reputation and repeat business which can result from stories like this one. I mean, would you go on a cruise on this particular liner or with this operator? A luxury hotel is not very keen on their guests being robbed either and I suppose it's way cheaper to pay for security than to hush up after an incident.

[@bettywith2girls]

We've gone on about 20 cruise ships throughout our lives; this is extremely bad but extremely rare. Maybe Amy was not thrilled about going because she had been alerted or warned ahead of time, but just didn't believe it. Yes, I agree, cruise ships "seem" very safe and lull you into probably a false sense of security. As long as you know that...you will be fine. The thing about these ships is you can't be vulnerable and very ALONE (which Amy was at 5:30 am on deck by herself sleeping). I know a woman who has two teen to 20-something girls, and if she found her DD sleeping alone on a secluded deck early in the morning, when no one else was around, she either would have woken the DD up and insisted she finish sleeping in her room; or the mother would have stayed or slept next to her on deck, keeping on eye on her the whole time, if she didn't want to wake her up. As a woman, I have been asked by a crew member to go to a secluded room for him to "show me something" when me and my DH were having marital problems on board, and I refused and stayed only in common areas where there were a lot of people, or in our room. Yes, cruise ships are actually lots of fun and safe, in general...if you stay with the crowd and watch your safety, as you would do anywhere.

I think Mike said that it wasn't the *security* cameras, but a photo service provided by the cruise line. Still leaves the same question ... except that it might have been a ham-fisted effort on the line's part to help drop her disappearance down the memory hole (not realizing what the Streisand Effect would do). That much a cruise line might do safely, at the cost of bad optics; mucking about with security camera footage could essily have huge legal and regulatory consequences.

Things to take away from this: If you have a bad feeling about a trip, don't go. Cruise ships seem to have more and more problems with missing people and you have conflicting laws with where they are registered and what country's territory they are in. If you must go on a cruise, rely on the buddy system, never go anywhere alone.

When that ship docked on the morning she disappeared, they should have had the family members and crew cover every disembarking point .... Or limit it to ONE exit.

All cruise ships ALWAYS have only ONE exit for the passengers disembarking. They should have blocked all the other doors that crew members could get out of. I think they probably DID do a quick search of the ship, but let's be honest here...it's wouldn't have been hard to hide a young girl who is probably tied up and gagged or unconscious in a closet or a bathroom. These ships are simply HUGE. It's really hard to do, unfortunately.

[@martynstembridge7714]

[@bettywith2girls]

Didn't someone see her leaving with a male early that morning, as soon as the ship docked and let people off??? By the time they found her "missing", she would have left the ship and could have been anywhere on the island. I remember being a 23 yr. old girl and you are extremely naive to the dangers of the world. I'm guessing, after dancing with her and plying her with alcoholic drinks, the male band member suggested that they go on the island to meet his family, or meet some of his friends, and/or show her something on the island that she just has to see. He might have told her she shouldn't tell her parents or brother b/c they will just get mad at her for having fun being up all night with him and they'll only be on the island for an hour or two...they will be back before her parents probably will wake up for breakfast and miss her, he could have reassured her. Yea...and no, she's with "the band" so she doesn't have to show her cruise card (which ALL cruise passengers HAVE to show and have scanned every single time departing or coming back onto the ship)...he probably told her. Poor girl. I think she really was trafficked, sadly.

[@junesnow5422]

I heard that they concluded she could have been taken off the ship in a rolling suitcase. They watched the surveillance of the exit.

That's what I was thinking. I've been on a couple of cruise ships and all have just used one ramp to disembark at the ports.

I grew up with 4 sisters. As we grew older, started dating & moved away we had a innocent sounding code word to use if we were in trouble.

(Umbrella was the code word) if I ever replied "yes" they would know I was in deep trouble & not free to discuss it. Also If they forgot to ask the question, all I had to say was "I need my umbrella". 40 years later and states away from each other this code word is still used by us today to check on each other. My point is that if that i was ever missing & had opportunity to ask for help quickly I add the world Umbrella to the quick details & my parents could gage the validity of the info & be less prey to crooks on the take everywhere.

I worked on fast craft pax ferries for years and one of the very worst members of crew I ever had the misfortune of not only trying to train but I drew the short straw so had them on my ficken crew was someone that was supposed to have over 5yrs experience serving on a cruise ship. It should have been an easy 1 day recertify and 1 day type rating for our ship. This idiot had no clue and had to go through the entire 2 weeks with the rest of the new starts and they barely passed! It got worse when they actually started the job. The most basic of basic mistakes every ficken drill and yet strutting around like they were taking a step down from the QE2 to slum it on Seacat. If that's the caliber of crew that lasts 5yrs on a cruise ship I'd say you're bang on staying well clear! They lasted 4 weeks with us and that was only because it cost so much to train the smeg but when you have to carry an extra member of crew because you can't trust them on muster, that's just dead weight.

Cruise ships have been commonly exposed as possible hunting grounds for traffickers. Especially targeting foreigners because they will have their travel documents they can use as leverage. 2. The crew was involved either in a cover up to prevent bad press or they were part of a sex trafficking ring. 3. Had they prevented everyone from leaving the boat it very likely she would have been found quickly. I hope the ship’s captain feels very guilty. 4. That private investigator is a horrible person and I hope he burns in hell. 5. She might be found one day, I pray to God she is found alive or at least they are given answers. This case has always stayed with me. I truly feel like she is alive somewhere and I pray she is found one day.

This broke my heart. I don't know what I would do if that happened to someone I loved. I would have probably torn apart the entire island until I found her.

[@bm-ww8kb]

they did. there were literally no more things to tear apart. somehow nothing. i honestly think id have moved there though. but these parents are obviously doing the best they can and im sure still doing it better than we wouldve

Hard to believe this level of trafficking is still possible in today’s world. Amy is one of many taken to be used. Tragic world we live in

[@MrJooge100]

I followed this case for bit and not one thing that I read or watched ever mentioned the guitar player from the ship or the money scammed from the family. Thank You for the new to me info! Great Channel!

[@MultiSmartass1]

I tend to think Bradley was taken off the ship. The fact that her photos were gone strikes me as suspicious. Had she been killed accidentally or died as an accident , it would have made no sense to get rid of all the photos of her in totality.

[@julz3tt3]

Also the fact she was seen in years to come makes it almost impossible she died on the ship. She was Trafficked and sold to various people who worked in the industry. Sickos

[@Manamanamana36]

I’m sure that bass player kidnapped her

[@sleekelegancesuave]

@@julz3tt3 so many people could’ve stand up for her but instead they didn’t, if a girl would’ve grabbed my arm so hard and told me she’s being held on her own will, I would’ve completely went into detective mode... figuring out a way I could help her and if I was carrying... oh it would’ve been a show down. I’m a Christian but I refuse to see a person be taken advantage of, I don’t care how dangerous those men is or claim to be, I would’ve made sure she was safe

[@mommy2libras]

Of course not. And her pictures would have still been in the picture wall until her family decided whether or not they wanted them if it had been an accident or something. They take pictures on cruises constantly and everyone has a little slot in these nooks. A few people have the job of just sorting photos and putting the ones with the same people in them together so you go down, find your slot and look at what pictures are available of you/your family and decide whether or not to buy them. They just keep adding to your slot the whole cruise and at the end they just collect all the ones that didn't get bought and toss them. Someone had to deliberately go and take them from the display.

[@edsworld760]

I've been hooked on your channel for a week now. God bless these families.

[@glorygloryholeallelujah]

I totally get her apprehension… it took a LOT for my family to finally convince me to join them on a family reunion cruise, because I’m petrified of open waters!!

[@4everfaithful32]

It could be that they told her they had her papers and threatens her with that - and so she believes they do.

[@mikehawk4388]

The cruise's crew was absolutely in on this. The band in particular. Of all the cases in the world, this is one I hope is solved before I die... I think that was her in those pictures. I worry that she was 'taken care of' when the case was getting more widespread, because it's been so long since a sighting--and by now, she may have gotten 'too old' to 'use.' However, there is still some hope for me that she's alive, whether or not that's a good thing. She may have been brainwashed into staying, or shamed into it by being forced to do terrible things. There's still use for older people in human trafficking that don't have to do with sex work, but in my heart, I do worry that something terrible has happened already.

Poor poor Amy. This case is always in my mind and got me interested in true crime. I hope one day she's found.

[@user-pe4en4sp8x]

Love your work Mike! It's like a visual podcast. You're a true crime legend! A true professional. Thanks for all of your amazing work . I really love your integrity , sincerity, true emotion and sarcasm in equal measure.

[@ladonamariposavigilis6447]

As a former crime scene photographer and P.I. I can tell you with almost 100% certainty a suicide's family always insist their loved one was happy with a great home life. I think that it helps them not feel guilty for not noticing how bad off their loved were. I've had people try to throw a lot of money at me to prove their relatives were murdered on get the coroner's verdict overturned and didn't commit suicide. Never seen it pan out that way, EVER. ETA: Apparently my mother got one turned over from suicide to accidental/homicide. It is still unsolved, the death was in 1977.

[@chrishill3785]

Seems possible and not much was done to rule out just jumping over the side

[@WangMingGe]

There's too much of a rush to bend over backwards in deference to the feelings of the families in some of these cases. Of course it's sad - it's sad however she died (almost certainly falling overboard, either accidentally due to alcohol, as happens plenty of times on ships, or suicide as you suggest). But when playing along/not wanting to offend someone's feelings results in years of investigation and enormous expenses on what are plainly wild goose chases....it's a real waste. All because nobody along the way can muster the courage to tell the family what they don't want to hear.

[@tessfabled4115]

I'm almost certain that escort photo is her, they look far too alike, and the circumstances surrounding her disappearance... :( Unfortunately I truly believe she's no longer with us, with the publicity of her case growing to become too much of a liability to her captors. I hope one day the truth can come out and Amy and her family can get the justice they so truly deserve.

[@googleuser2609]

Correct. It was a big risk to have released the 2005 photo.

[@gigglyme2001]

The cheekbones were the major giveaway of that photo that it was her. As soon as I noticed, my heart sank.

[@bettywith2girls]

You know what's REALLY sad? It's that, with all the personal interactions that people have had with her, when she's basically cried out for help, that nobody helped her. I know it's frightening, but just sad that nobody got the police involved right after their interaction with her, nor tried to help her escape either. It wouldn't have been easy...but there actually were a lot of chances that were missed.

[@nadiac1605]

Betty Smith I 100% agree. If the interactions are true, why the hell did no one do anything? It would definitely be scary, but calling the police as soon as it’s happened probably would have saved her.

I can not understand why some of these people say they seen her, that she spoke to them and needed help and they did NOTHING! This story has been one of the scariest because we are all vulnerable and can be easily caught of guard like Amy :(

The laws regarding cruise ships and being in different territories/countries is EXACTLY why I will NEVER step foot on one. NOT 1 case has ever been fully investigated and/or solved. Better chances of getting killed anywhere but on a cruise ship.
