imean maybe the ship's crew had something to do with her disappearance i mean isnt it odd that they call for amy over the ship's speaker while passengers were already off the ship instead of passengers on the ship on this just made me realize it is very suspicious.and the bass player maybe one of the crewman told the bass player that amy's family knew about amy being missing

While that is a possibility in this case, you have to ask yourself one question: why? Why would several members of a cruise ship's crew be that concerned about hiding an abduction to cover for the band's bass player? Would there really be that much money to go around and keep all of these crew members quiet for all of those years? Because that would be the only incentive these people would have in keeping quiet. And why target Amy out of all of the women on board the ship?

I think its likely an abduction but probably not involving the bass player. In the UM segment, they mislead in IMO about the circumstantial evidence on "Yellow".


Their big thing was the bass player went up to Brad Bradley before the "rest of the ship" knew of the abduction and said "sorry your sister is lost". UM portrayed the bass player as the main suspect because of this conversation.


I definitely think this is unfair to him because in an article I read recently it said while the crew was searching for Amy at 6am, they went to Yellows cabin and woke him up, because others including the Bradleys suggested he was hanging out with her the night before. That's why the bass player knew.

I just don't see how they could have gotten Amy off of the ship without there being several members of the crew involved. And why a cruise ship's crew would help abduct a woman and cover it up is beyond me.

This case left me thinking something accidental happened. Fell overboard maybe? Was the overboard angle ever discussed (I don't recall...)?

if she was abducted,perhaps someone was given a large sum of money to do it.

Who would fork over the large sum of money for one, and why Amy out of all of the other women on board the ship? More than one crew member would have had to have known what was going on, were they all paid to be silenced?

The problem with that story is that Alistair Douglas ("Yellow") was questioned by the FBI, after the Bradleys reported this meeting between Brad and Douglas. Douglas denied this encounter and claimed that he knew nothing about Amy having disappeared. How could he not be aware if the cruise line manager was knocking at his cabin door at six o'clock that morning, looking for Amy?

Ron Bradley claimed he awoke at about 6 AM, and when he noticed Amy was missing, searched for his daughter for approximately an hour. When he could not find her, he woke up Iva and they went to the ship’s captain together. How is it that at 6 AM, as Ron awoke, noticed Amy missing, and was getting dressed to go look for her, Douglas already had the cruise line manager looking for Amy before Ron and Iva reported her missing?

Another factor against Douglas was that two female eyewitnesses reported seeing Douglas and Amy at around 5:45 AM. Amy is believed to have left her cabin between 5:30-6:00 AM. They claimed that Amy and Douglas stepped off an elevator and headed towards the disco. Another female passenger, who had met Amy on the cruise, also reported seeing Amy and Douglas walking up the stairs to the next level, and then ten minutes later, Douglas walking around by himself.

Lastly, the Bradleys were not aware of Douglas as a person of interest until after they had returned to the ship for the second time and two eyewitnesses ran up to them to report what they had seen. This was on the 26th, I believe. It was only after hearing about Douglas that Brad remembered that the former knew about Amy’s disappearance before anyone else did. Only then did Douglas become a suspect, but not before. This is also important because the FBI told the Bradleys that the ship captain never searched the entire ship for Amy; they just searched the common rooms and the rest rooms. Douglas's room, along with his band members' cabins, would not have been searched later on the 24th as he claims, but after the 26th, when the FBI did a "bomb search" on-board for Amy.

It is obvious that Douglas lied then or is lying now. The FBI should have investigated him more thoroughly. They just did not have enough evidence to hold him as a suspect. On the other hand, if Douglas was merely acting as a go-between another party, what evidence could they find if he only lead Amy away and then left her to her fate? No blood and no body almost always equals to the belief that there is no crime. The fact that all of Amy’s pictures from the dinner party on the 23rd went missing from the photo gallery makes me thinks she was chosen and stalked to be abducted. In that case, other people were most certainly involved, and they could possibly have been other band members or crew members.

I lean towards her being abducted. And that haunting picture of the prostitute that looks JUST like Amy...........wow, the similarities. Amy's father believes it is her. You would think she'd have had opportunities in those years to escape, but you never know. It just really, really looked like her.

To be honest, not everyone aboard a cruise ship - including the employees - is a salt of the earth type person. I know the crew members and the bass player are suspects but what about the passengers? I wouldn't rule it out either. People think rules and laws get thrown out the window once you hit the sea.

I don't believe the overboard accident theory for the reason that Amy was apparently petrified of standing even near the railing. This isn't to say she couldn't have been thrown overboard though.

Lastly, does anyone remember the movie "Flightplan"? Yeah, its only a movie but there was a missing person on a plane and they were found in the most unlikely place. So if it can happen on a plane, it can happen on a ship.

I think the possibility of falling overboard is higher than I once thought. It happens more than people realize even though it seems impossible. Who would not be scared of falling off of a cruise ship? I don't think that this idea that brave people(with heights)would not be scared of falling should make a difference especially in an accidental situation?? No one in their right mind would risk falling off a ship at sea, But with alcohol involved it does happen. I watched a documentary on this very thing and after cruising 3 times I'm shocked that it happens and I'm also shocked how long it takes the cruise line to react and in some cases they never do.

It was anyone but allistar Douglass

What do you mean?


Besides this I do think cruise ships should be more careful and held responsible for over serving alcohol at sea. Many of the falls have to do with extreme intoxication. Not saying this happened to Amy but In documentaries I've seen about cruise ship scandals this has happened more than once.

Care to elaborate?

Yep, the only good thing is nowadays with all the video footage the chances of cases going unsolved are rare. From what I can gather it is now incredibly difficult to fall overboard accidentally due to vastly improves safety measures, either you have to jump on purpose, or you have to be messing around drunk or on substances.

Yeah true I haven't heard any more details on this one. I just went on a cruise out of Galveston recently.

I have nothing to add to this thread other than the grammar the poster of this thread used, makes me cringe.

LOL. Simma down, Grammar police. :) (Although it's a pet peeve of mine, too.)

I feel like some of the crew HAD to be involved. I don't think Amy fell overboard. I believe she was abducted and sold into slavery. Is the picture of the prostitute her? I'm not sure, but it DOES certainly resemble her.

I still want to hear from the poster who said it was "anyone" but Yellow.

Ok, Ok. :D

I agree. I think she was sold into slavery as well. Of all the pictures UM profiled that were possibly a missing person, this is the one who looks the most like the missing person IMO.

And unnecessary commas, make me cringe. :crazy:

I don't think Amy was abducted and sold into slavery. That theory makes no sense whatsoever. I think she either fell overboard or was murdered on the ship and then either thrown overboard or sneaked off. Maybe in a cargo crate or laundry or something.

Yep, more likely she fell overboard while out smoking or having a tryst with Yellow or one of the crew. Being a lifeguard means very little if you aren't wearing a life jacket, are full of alcohol & nobody knows you have gone in, or somebody who does nothing through fear of losing their job.

I agree 1000%.
