VA - Amy Bradley, 23, Petersburg, 24 March 1998 - #2 - ***READ FIRST POST***

[danzn16]

The reason that I brought it up at first is because we were discussing the possibility that she may have been drugged that evening, not the following morning. She was an adult, I don't care if she drinks or gets drunk. I DO care if someone slipped something in her drink and it has something to do with her disappearance. I would never blame a victim for something happening to them while they were drunk and I personally take offense to your comment to me.

If you keep reading, you will see that I re-watched the video and could see that she was dancing, not falling.

I apologize. My comment wasn't directed at you at all. I had quoted your post in reference to the stumbling/falling into the elevator part. I was speaking about the drinking part because there have been several members that have commented on it, not just you. And I wasn't directing it towards any members, just stating I didn't see the point of discussing it. Especially after FA said Amy appeared fine all night and in the cabin. It was afterwards when it is thought she was drugged. I just didn't want the conversation to start victim criticizing for drinking so I spoke up, and I in no way mean that you were or anyone else was, just said something before it did, if it even were to. Again, I am sorry for any offense that was taken! It was not my intention.

Thanks, danzn. I will admit, I may have overreacted a bit. I get a little riled when I hear victims blamed and was honestly mortified that someone may have thought I was doing that. I appreciate your apology and I am right with you about not wanting the conversation to devolve into any victim blaming.

I tried as well with no success. If you have anymore info regarding the Laval, Quebec connection, please forward it on to me and I'll see what I can do. I think his name is fake. Wish we had a picture of him!!! I don't even think his name is Greek.

Hi ~n/t~ my friend,

It is good to see you join the find Amy team! I don't have much but will share what I have as it may be a starting point. I think this guy AlexisZ used variations of his name at different points in time. Here is what I have and it is only a possible:

Paul Baxter has sanpaku eyes (three whites). Creepy.

Note - this may be disturbing to some so if in doubt do not watch

Here is the English version of the documentary My Boyfriend, the Sex Tourist. The video starts at about the 3:40 mark. It is not the cleanest copy but the whole documentary is there along with the commercials. Not sure how long I am going to be able to leave it on Youtube and it was a hard find.

Here is the link - note Paul Baxter says he is not a "pimp" but rather a "businessman" - makes me gag!

I never picked up on the fact that Iva wasn't even mentioned when Amy left the room, only Ron. That would beg the question, where was Iva?

Not sure why this begs a question. It was 5:30 a.m. They were on vacation. Just because her husband stirred doesn't mean Iva had to be awake, too. I sleep through things my significant other hears all the time. If it had been 8:00 a.m., I could better understand the question.

Yep:

While whites below the eyes supposedly means that the outside world is a danger to you, above the eyes means that the inside world is a danger to you — i.e., you’re unable to control your emotions and it leads you to do terrible, terrible things.

Take a look at Charles Manson's eyes as an example:

Thanks elepher! When I looked at your picture something came to mind! Do you think his middle name is really his Mother's last name? I will have to find the video about sir names i watched about the Spanish culture and their names. It is very interesting as well as confusing! They do not use first, middle and last names like Americans. They use first, second and third names brought from their ancestors. Let me go find that video.

I could not find the video, but here is a link to an article explaining Spanish sir names. Maybe this might help put you on a little different track finding AlexisZ.

~n/t~, wanted to say how great it is to see you on here. I'm so happy to be posting with some of my favorites! This team is getting better & better! :blowkiss:

There is an astonishingly tight timeline. If I understand it 5:30 to 5:50 for the Dad sleeping after spotting Amy then she is seen at 5:45 supposedly by the two girls?

At what time do the same two girls (if I have this correct) see Y come down alone?

As I understand the Dad goes to code red very quickly. It is a huge ship she could be talking in someone's room anything. So that surprises me a bit. Ida sees that he is shaken when she awakes. Just a terrible premonition no doubt. I am not sure why at that moment they think Amy is missing I mean in the irrevocable sense.

(Just trying to understand this, thanks).

I really, really think you are onto something here - now to figure out where and when he used what names....ugh.

I hadn't thought about this but you're right. We have heard that it was thought she went to get coffee. What time did he start to really worry? Was it right when he woke and realized she wasn't there or did he look around the ship first and not find her where he thought she would be (getting coffee)? If it was the first scenario, it makes me think that something had happened earlier that concerned her parents enough that might suspect something happened right away.

What about the Jewish culture? My friend Jodi is an Italian Jew, raised in Long Island. She is Jewish. Her mother's maiden name is Jodi's middle name (mother is Italian). Her father's last name is her surname. That is...until she got married.

I think the name AZ chose is Greek & was done for the fantasy it represents. Maybe?

here is the metadata from the 2004/05/08 snapshot at wayback:

<META name="title" content="Toalsatisfaction.co.uk">

you can see where it says the author is "K-chu". that's a good clue if we can make something of it. if he's the web designer he might be able to say who had access to upload photos or, if he uploaded all photos, who gave them to him.

 

[Jersey*Girl]

Is K-Chu a joke? It sounds like a sneeze... Is it supposed to be a humorous alias?

Hmm. Hadn't thought about that, but it is certainly a possibility. When I got married, it was to a Puerto Rican. Our wedding announcements used the traditional format, which put his "last" name in the middle (started with an A) and his mother's maiden name in the last name position (started with a B). He happened to use the "A" name in day-to-day use. You would not believe how many wedding gifts we received that were personalized with a B!!

My son, however, uses the "B" name as his middle name and the "A" name as his last name!!

Very confusing. My mom does genealogy and it is darn near impossible with that side of the family! Drives her batty.

i doubt it's a joke. that data is something only a web crawler like google or bing would see. it would let them know someone named "K-Chu" was the author of the page. this person would only put that in if they wanted to be associated with the web sites they created.

i've checked eight or nine of the wayback snapshots and that's the only one i can see with that specific metadata. the website was updated a LOT during 2004-2005, mostly changing color schemes and some underlying code, however i am under the belief that the web designer is the same guy throughout that time period because of the way he writes his html, css, and javascript. there are some common conventions in every update even when the update is major.

also, the site is fairly poorly written so i'd think we'd be looking for someone who was just getting into web design at the time. a lot of the javascript is borrowed from elsewhere on the internet.

From FindAmy, Thread #1, Post 124:

Amy was last seen by her father, Ron Bradley, on the balcony of their room. This was at 5:30 AM as Rhapsody of the Seas was docking at the cruise terminal, in Curacao. Sometime after this, Amy quietly left the room. She was probably in search of morning coffee. All that she had with her were her cigarettes. She wasn't wearing shoes.

Hang on ... more coming.
