Mho is that there's a possibility she was used however many times it took to break her, then she was used as a "factory", then used as a "character witness" for black market sales...hence seeing her in different places with "handlers". When people purchase babies illegally, they want to see & know what kind of "stock" they come from, otherwise they'll only pay chump change. Green eyes, light skin, intelligent background = profit.
well of course you may be right
after being "broken in", used for stock, How do you think she would look?
I just feel it is safer for the purchaser to go to them, then them taking Amy to the purchaser
This was not kidnap for ransom
Someone suggested drug smuggling, but, how long before someone gets caught
Someone else suggested to produce children, but why move her all around
I am lost
Do you think in the photos posted she looks like every woman american?
And if she smuggled drugs for a handler originally when she looked like a sweet young american woman, did what she was told.. why the change in her appearance
I am certainly not arguing any ones points, just trying to get a clear picture in my head
Not certain I'd say she "looks like every American woman" but rather I'd say she looks like most average looking people in Caucasian colored countries - with the exception of her eyes. She's blend in so to speak.
I wonder if there's a significance surrounding the dates she was sighted. The San Fran sighting was the week of an international film festival. What about the other sightings?
Great sleuthing folks, but I'm seeing over and over within this thread that SoSueMe confirmed, verified, etc., that the photos are Amy Bradley. For the record, I have not personally verified any such thing. I do believe the photos are Amy based on what our Verified Insider FindAmy has told us about the photos. Websleuths stands by the verified insider and the information they have put forth to our members.
We've been told the FBI believe the photos to be Amy Bradley. As pointed out in previous posts, the FBI surely maintains advanced forensic photo technology which drew them to this conclusion. We're going on that premise, so to keep questioning whether the photos are Amy, is a waste of time and is derailing the discussion for the members trying to sleuth the photos, their origin and what can be determined by enhancing the photos.
Further, I'm seeing where members are confused as to whether Amy might have been taken for the sex trade. While this is always a possibility, and no one knows for sure, many close to the case feel it is unlikely and perhaps a red herring. Prostitution is legal in many of the areas where Amy has been sighted. It would stand to reason there would be many willing participants in this profession. I don't think anyone can definitively say Amy is not being used in this regard, so it's a possibility. Members have been asked to think outside the box, so while discussing Amy within the sex trade is not off limits, we'd like our members to expand their sleuthing to other areas as well. I've seen a lot of speculation as to why Amy may have been taken and we encourage this type of discussion. We feel you're doing some phenomenal work on this case.
We were given a rare opportunity when FindAmy came to our site in an attempt to dispel rumors and give our members a direction which might be helpful to the case. Dispelling rumors and correcting misinformation was the main goal for the verified insider, yet I still see references to misinformation found on other websites. We believe the information provided by FindAmy is the most current, up-to-date information on the case and we're fortunate to be privy to it. We prefer that our members consider the information put forth by FindAmy and leave the outdated misinformation behind.
Websleuths owners are often asked how many cases we've solved. We can't answer this question because frankly, we're never told. We're occasionally told when we've been helpful. Sometimes (not always) we're told when LE is reading a particular thread. The truth is, I think we've been helpful in many of the cases we've covered. You never know what tiny piece of the puzzle might fit nicely in a case or trigger another avenue for LE to follow. This is what we do because we have caring members with hearts of gold who care about victims, their families, law enforcement, justice and a better world. We're very proud of our members.
My point is, and I do have one, I see a lot of good, intelligent discussion on this case. We'd like you to concentrate on the latest information available to us and we believe that to be the information put forth by FindAmy.
Please carry on and thank you.
I was just thinking of this and wondering if we can deduce much from the sightings in Curacao and Barbados, as it seems that is likely the area she was being kept.
The San Fran sighting is always nagging at me.
I know it can be irritating to re-answer old questions but....
When the sailor saw Amy and spoke to her
Tell me again about the place this happeded
A hotel? a bar?
Why were american sailors not permitted to visit it?

This is the last I'll note that bc in all reality if a bunch of people start sleuthing that angle & subsequently post about it, it could bring it to the attention of the people responsible & perhaps endanger the innocent victims involved...that is if there's any basis to it...
the notion that she could have been used to help facilitate the transfer of children on the black market makes more sense to me than most of the other options. it would also give a realistic explanation for san francisco. even if she's not the mother of any of the children, having an american with you when you attempt to do these illegal adoptions is likely to significantly increase your chance of finding someone willing to deal with your criminal organization. i could also think of several easy ways to get her to go along with things and not blow your cover (such as "if you screw this up we kill the kid"). it's an "out there" theory but it fits much of what we know.
Mission or no mission, seems rather cold hearted to me to walk away from a woman asking for help and not mention it for two months
He could have at least taken it to his commanding officer
He must have realized she was american
