Where is Amy Bradley? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Clockworkhigh · 03-25-2010, 11:41 PM

The story of a young woman who went on a cruise with her brother and parents in 1998 and disappeared in the early morning.

Her dad claims to remember her sleeping on the couch in the middle of the night but by 6am she was gone and seemed like she pretty much vanished off the face of the earth from the ship.

There was the theory that she either jumped or fell into the water. Doubtful. She was deathly afraid of the water and wouldn't even go close to the edge of the ship. Plus her body likely would have washed up. The most likely scenario is her being kidnapped by a crew member and then maybe taken to a part in the Caribbean used as a sex slave. I believe this is a strong possibility.

The actions of the one crew member were suspicious as well. He was the last person to have been seen with her and he apparently offered his condolences to Amy's brother at a premature time in the early time frame that she was missing.

Any thoughts?

I for one believe that Amy fell off the into the ocean by accident. It's almost scary how easy it is to fall off a cruise liner. She wouldn;t necessarily even need to be that drunk for her to take a dive off the railing.

That doesn't mean that I completely rule out the possibility that foul play was involved.

If foul play were involved I lean more toward an attempted rape that resulted in her body being thrown overboard.

I agree. My wife and I took a cruise on Carnival Cruise Lines in October 2005. The price you pay for the cruise includes food, which Carnival has a 24-7 buffet. We decided to get a late dinner around 9pm and sit on a table by the deck so that we could eat by the water. Bad idea. Our silverware fell off and our plates almost did as well just due to the crashing of the waves. It jolted me enough that we decided to eat inside before anything else happened. Its not all that unlikely that she fell off the balcony.

Watch the movie "Taken" that's what happened to Amy

I think all we have to point to that theory is an alleged photo of her.

Do tell. I do not know that part of the story. If you have the picture, post it.

Also, while the theory of her accidentally falling overboard has its merits I often wonder why her body didn't get washed up by now. I know the sea is deadly, but there is a strong possibility that her body would show up if she drowned

1. Sharks and other fauna may have eaten the body.
2. The nature of ocean water and topography is so unique and volatile, there are numerous reasons why a body may not surface
3. It;s possible that her body was found and nobody has recognized here...because the body washed up miles away in a whole different country.

I hope I'm not losing it, but I believe there was a very popular photo that is allegedly supposed to be Amy Bradley as an exotic dancer in the Middle East(or somewhere).

Do a google search or check unsolved.com.

off topic for a minute but the unsolved.com website is true to the glorious past at least.

You're not losing it. There is a picture of a girl that someone found on a website advertising "exotic fun". Her family thinks its her. It definitely resembles her but I have no clue if its actually her. It can also be found on amybradley.net.

Hey all,

I'm more inclined to believe that she accidently fell of the boat too (Occam's Razor)

However,

apparently, the boat was close to shore (I can't find any info on exact distances, though) and Amy was a trained lifeguard and a strong swimmer.

But who can say if she didn't hit her head and was knocked unconscious and then accidently fell into the ocean? A shark got her?
Or someone hit her and rendered her unconscious (going with the attempted rate angle)? Perhaps she dozed off and fell overboard?

There's not a heck of a lot of info on the ship band's Bass Player, "Yellow", either (the guy who was stylin' her up all the time she was on the boat).

There's been sightings of her on two seperate occasions - one where the witnesses described her tattoos. However, on both occasions, the people that spoke with her at the time didn't realize she was a missing person and didn't come forward until later on

Now after checking out the "escort photos" - the pics certainly look a lot like Amy-but it's really hard to determine for sure. I'm mean, I'm in no way an expert but there are people who, by coincidence, eerily seem to have near identical features to others, while not even being related to them. Not often, but there are the rare occurrences someone will come across a person who could almost pass for a twin (I'm saying this 'cause it happened to me in grade school with another kid- we could almost pass as twin brothers - it was really annoying)

Anyway, I'm just wondering if there's any way to get verification on these photos in order to exclude them as actual proof. As the guy who originally found these photos pointed out, the tattoos (may be) "strategically covered."

Her hair covering her left shoulder blade and her right ankle is not visible in either pic, - one pic of her is a side view and the other is a three quarter shot of her in a reclining position with her legs up - so unfortunately, there's no way to see her belly or her lower back

If you'd like to see for yourself, check out the very popular online Encyclopedia site - (yes, the one that starts with a "W") for Amy Bradley's entry and the link that reads: "Photographs of woman suspected to be Amy Bradley, as shown on Dr. Phil" is the one ya wanna click on

The photos are somewhat explicit so fair warning

Again, my gut feeling is she accidently fell into the ocean but I mean, I could be totally wrong. If she did though, then there's pretty much zero chance of finding any remains

But if those photos really are Amy and there's a good chance she's still alive, then hopefully someday soon she can be reunited with her family and friends

The only definitive proof would be to find the girl in the photo. If she;s found and turns out to be someone else, then the photo is a false lead.

I for one believe the many people who believe the falling into the ocean theory.

It's so easy to fall off of a boat...

That being said...there is no body.

Apostapler · 05-04-2010, 08:28 AM

Wasn't Amy drinking at the club that night? I just thought it adds another element why someone who was capable of being a good swimmer may have been impaired. I too believe she fell off the boat and drowned.

Smokescreen · 05-04-2010, 09:43 AM

Yeah, good point Apostapler.

I mean, let's say hypothetically, Amy's been drinking, it's late, she's tired -
She goes out on the deck for a smoke, sits down on the balcony, (perhaps) dozes off - a few strong waves hit and she accidently slips off - she's in the ocean and gone

BTW - what do you guys think about the photos from the brothel website?

It looks like her, it really does... but unfortunately it still doesn't really prove anything

until someone can verify exactly who it is in the pics - arrgh so damn maddening

I truly feel for her family and/ or anyone who has a missing friend or loved one
