I'm sorry FindAmy ,

I thought the tape being referred to in the article was the one that's on YouTube . I didn't read it correctly ...

So I'm still confused on what tape the article is referring to -- but you confirmed its in the right hands , thank you ...

I thought it was the YouTube tape also, so if you're confused youre not alone, lol. It's my understanding that it's the same video, except what got passed on to the FBI was a copy. Unless, of course, I'm wrong. :rolleyes:

Maybe I misunderstood , I was thinking you were referring to the video made by CF that he posted on his site . :sigh:

There are two video tapes.

Chris Fenwick is not a Royal Caribbean employee. He was hired to create a private video for a group on the cruise. He just happened to be filming when Amy was dancing with Alister Douglas in the disco. His film became evidence that Alister was in the disco with Amy. Chris gave it to Ron's boss who gave it to the FBI. The FBI will never give the tape to a TV company and they will never even admit that they have a tape.

The other video was made in 2007 by a British production company who went to Venezuela and filmed a story about Paul Baxter's escort resort. Chavez didn't like that the resort did this. Paul Baxter is British and he called a British company.

I want to know what Paul Baxter and Alexis Zaglanitis know about Amy Bradley and why they posted her photograph on their website.

Are these guys untraceable? Can't the FBI question them ?

He was referring to the tape made by Chris Fenwick, because he copied most of that article.


Friday Morning about 4AM
I approached this man and asked if he was part of the Bradley family. He informed me that he was a good friend of the family. I told him my story and how I came to have this tape in my possesion and told him that I would gladly meet with the family if they wished to see the tape in my room. The man told me that he would take care of it and thanked me for the help. It was now somewhere around 4AM.
I returned to my room to sleep.
Friday Morning about 9AM
Later that morning I went to where breakfast was being served and witnessed the Bradleys and the man I gave the tape to having breakfast together. I was dying to know if the Bradleys wanted to see the tape but I didn’t want to impose on their time. They were visibly distraught. However the man I gave the tape to walked away from the table for a moment and I approached him and asked if he had given the tape to the family. At that time he told me that he had given the video tape of Amy dancing with Yellow to the authorities.

Friday Afternoon
This is where the story gets really interesting to me.
Mid afternoon on Friday, while I was in my room working, I recieved a phone call. The man on the phone told me his name was Lou Costello, I probably made some sort of joke about “Abbott and…”. He asked me if, “I was the guy with the video tape of the missing girl” I told him that yes, I was. At that point he told me that he was going to have to get that tape from me. I informed him that there was no way I was going to give up my master tapes. I never give away master tapes and that besides that, it was on a tape format that I’m sure he didn’t have access to (afterall, I had seen the on board edit facilities) and that I would be glad to make a broadcast quality dub of the tape if he liked. He then informed me that the FBI were involved in this and that they would want the original tapes. I told him that if that was the case and the FBI wanted my master tapes then they would have to contact me.
I also informed Mr. Costello that “the entire reason for me being on his boat was to finish editing the tape that needed to air that night at midnight in the ship theater”. I would be done with my duties around 12:30 AM and I would be glad to help him or make copies or whatever at that time. However, would he please allow me the time that I needed to finish my job. At that, I believe Mr. Costello said he would be in contact with me later and he hung up.
That was the last that I heard from Mr. Costello.&#8232;&#8232;I finished my job, I packed my equipment, and the next day I got off the boat in San Juan, Puerto Rico and went home to San Francisco.
Months Later
Months Later, maybe 4 to 6 months later, after telling the story of the missing girl to everyone I knew it occured to me that no one had ever called to get the master tapes that Lou Costello had insisted that the FBI was going to need. So I took it upon myself to call the FBI. I have no recollection of what office I called or who I talked to but someone took a message that I had video tape of dancing with the person that was believed to be involved in her disappearance. The person who took the message informed me that it would be forwarded to the officers in charge of the case.&#8232;&#8232;At that point I felt that I had done everything that I could do.
December 1998
Somewhere around December of 1998 I watched the story of Amy Bradly on America’s Most Wanted on television, I was somewhat surprised that they did not show the tape that I had supplied to “the authorities” thru the man that was a friend of the Bradleys.
Summer 1999
Then in the summer of 1999, Amy Bradley’s story was again on TV but this time it was on Unsolved Mysteries. After the segment aired my older brother called me and asked if I had seen the piece and wondered why the video that I had was not part of the story. I informed that I had no idea.&#8232;&#8232;Unknown to me, my brother had called the Unsolved Mysteries hotline and asked about the video tape and wondered if they knew about it’s existence.&#8232;&#8232;A few days later my brother got a call from Iva Bradley, the mother of Amy. She talked with him and he informed her of some of the details of my story and Iva asked if she could talk with me.
Soon Iva Bradley and I were talking on the phone.
After hearing some of the ordeal and the pain that she and her family were going through I told them that I would do what I could to help.&#8232;&#8232;I found out that the man that I had given the tape to was M.M. M.M is Ron Bradley’s boss, Ron is Amy’s father. The Bradleys were on a business trip that was a perk to the sales people in their company. M.M apparently had given my tape to one of the FBI officers that was handling Amy’s disappearence. It was the last time that copy of the tape was seen.[/b]

Snipped from http://chrisfenwick.com/home/2010/3/...s-missing.html

I abbreviated the name of the person . This is the article I was referring to.

Oh, yes. One's in Canada and one's in England. The FBI has already questioned them. The FBI needs hard evidence.

Do we know what Alexis looks like? Sorry if I missed it.
 
Have been trying to construct one canonical source/timeline for "key players" that are frequently discussed here. FA, your knowledge is invaluable. I welcome any corrections/additions you'd like to see made. My goal is, when it's done and confirmed to be accurate, to post it on the timeline thread started by Salem. It may help new folks -- I know it will help me to keep important people, dates, and businesses straight!

Will share draft in next post ...
 
I. The Cruise Ship

Eduard Cabrita
View attachment 26339
From Portugal, Cabrita was the head waiter on the Rhapsody of the Seas during the Bradley family cruise. He was overly attentive to Amy and wanted Amy to go with him to Carlos and Charlie's the night the ship docked in Aruba. (She declined because he made her uncomfortable.) On the morning of Amy's disappearance -- before anyone knew that Amy was missing -- Cabrita approached Amy's brother, Brad, and expressed how sorry he was to hear that his sister was missing.

Alister "Yellow" Douglas
ImageUploadedByTapatalk1346635061.395019.jpg
Musician on the ship, who Chris Fenwick's video captured dancing with Amy the night before her disappearance. Despite saying he didn't see Amy after 1:00 a.m. on the morning she disappeared, witnesses placed Douglas with Amy after 5:30 a.m. -- first on an elevator and then in the disco, where Amy was seen carrying a dark liquid beverage. Lie-detector tests for Douglas were inconclusive. He lives in Grenada.

This is excellent.
 
There was a freight elevator with access to the upper disco area. We believe she was drugged and removed through the Curacao cruise terminal in a container. I don't know why they would purchase shoes to do this.

For some reason I have always thought she could have been drugged and shoved in the cello case, and disembarked when the band left the ship only a few hours later?

That is certainly a possibility. Do you think she would fit? I do believe that she was drugged.
 
FindingAmy, in the last thread you asked about adultfriendfinder...or somebody did. I said adultfriendfinder is a requirement for some "date for a night" sites (in so many words). I wanted you to know I wasn't referring to back then when Amy disappeared, rather afterward when using the Internet wasn't as expensive as it was when we had to pay for our time by the minute. Back when Amy disappeared, I imagine newspapers & videos were used, posters/flyers were handed out to entice patrons to clubs/hotels. Has anyone in the Bradley camp tried contacting a Domme or Dom, which may actually have been more "underground" back in the 90's than escorts, therefore they may just know more secrets as they get the big bucks? Or maybe asked a traveling escort or two what the method of inquiry and payment was back then? Has anyone traced the cruise line with other ports of call, over a span of multiple years, to see if other women disappeared?

I'm going to look up that cached flyer again & see what I can come up with real fast. I'll just post whatever I find. I know you said to concentrate on the person that hosted Amy's pic and stay focussed but llc's that are shady get away with so much bc that's just it - they're an llc - they can start up & shut down on a whim, reopen within seconds under a different title, change hands etc...but all in it together as an operation. I think it might be interesting to pull every single legal escort online advertiser over various countries and compare the names of ownership. Closed operations and ongoing operations - they'll overlap somewhere. Since prostitution is legal in so many countries, one would think it wouldn't be that hard, but it is. It is bc of human trafficking and America is trying to make a dent in it, but we're getting nowhere and we're still a leader in the demand.

Maybe if we search under another language and a foreign ip address, that way it might not be flagged as American to the sites that may not want the American heat on them. I wanted to try that during Natalee Holloway's disappearance but I don't know how. Plus, I know numbers in several languages, some most used words as well, but I'm only fluent in English...so I wouldn't understand. Has anyone in the Bradley camp tried maybe a rented apartment in Curaçao or even Aruba for that matter, buy a computer and search in that language so it won't be blocked or reported as coming from an American's ip that may be linked to searching for missing persons? Idk, I'm probably going too deep on that thought... I guess what I'm getting at is this: has anyone tried to infiltrate some of these escort sites, or rather brothels?
 
That is certainly a possibility. Do you think she would fit? I do believe that she was drugged.

For years that has been my gut instinct. With restraints she would fit, and as the band was one of the first to disembark , no questions asked and nothing out of the ordinary.Business as usual.
Makes me sick to think about it!

Personally I think she was drugged and was walked off the ship and somebody took a payout to look the other way. I don't even think she was disguised. If she were, then those people in authority with the cruiseline wouldn't have insisted that she left of her own accord and stuck to that for so long. Then the pictures of Amy advertised as Jas? Pffffft, I don't think she was hidden at all. I think she was drugged and forced & by the time she realized what was happening she was already under somebody's command and couldn't do anything to change the circumstance.

Going to need your help here, FA, because how/when everyone intersects confuses me a little bit.

II. The Photos

December 2002
View attachment 26341
Photos believed by both the FBI and the Bradleys to be of Amy first appear on the Web site for Affordable Adult Vacations (AAV), a Venezuelan escort Web site owned by Georgios Alexandros "Alexis" "AlexisZ" Zaglanitis, a Canadian.

Zaglanitis (photo unavailable) first started a full-service adult travel agency called Caribbean Fantasy Tours in the mid-1980s.

2002-2004
Zaglanitis runs AAV with Thomas Wild (no photo) and Paul Baxter (photo below) from Leeds, England.

2004
Zaglanitis, who would now be in his 70s/80s, has a heart attack and parts ways with Wild and Baxter, closing AAV. Wild launches the adult travel site My Wild Vacation with Michael Hooper (no photo). Baxter turns AAV into a travel site called Total Satisfaction.

Zaglanitis' mistress/wife, Lexxy (alleged photo below), takes over all business dealings with a new site called Alexis Club, still operating today (2012).
