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

I am so impressed with all of you working on Amy's site!!!!! After Amy is found, you should do a manual for the FBI, CIA and any detective agency looking for a training manual!!!!!! I thought I was pretty good, but I can't hold a candle to any of the sleuthers on this site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, make me wet my pants - you know I just got back from the bar!

At some point we have to think outside the box. Unless there is new info, we are just rehashing the same things over and over again. I am glad there are so many people here that are thinking creatively. Finding the source of those pictures, IMO, is hugely important.

 

[milkymama]

I don't know if this has already been discussed but I was reading through posts and this stood out to me:

"In early 70s he taught Hospitality Industry courses at B.C.I.T in British Columbia." referencing Alexis. If the name, first or last, is fake, then could investigating those who taught these classes reveal his real name? Not sure how to go about getting this information.

Also, I notice that the AlexisClub.com site is registered under proxy...however this proxy company can be subpeonad to obtain the name of the actual person...This would be available to law enforcement only.

The addresses in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada were discussed back in Thread #1. Here's a photo of one AAV address from elepher (post 870).

Here is another AAV address photo in Hamilton, Ontario, this one from FindAmy (thread 1, post 854):

I do have to share this photo with you. We've had it for quite some time and I thought you all needed a laugh. Affordable Adult Vacations was a registered Canadian company. This was the location of the registration address.

Lol ... yes, I remember that one. High class place to be registering AAV from. Oh my ... so many fronts in front of this guy.

The FBI in the Caribbean has not always been good in responding to tips and witness sightings. If anyone has any information, please contact the Bradleys at teamamy@hotmail.com.

On Vanished Amy's Mom says after rejoining the boat "these two girls came screaming up to us all frantic saying we saw Amy we saw Amy (with Y) where have you been" and they say we just rejoined the ship etc....

Chris F. says on his blog about Amy that at 3 am he is outside and below sees two girls "walk towards the stern of the boat" (not rushing or running) and a young man (Amy's brother?) the young man then rushes off to the bow and THEN returns with what Chris realizes must be the missing girl's parents and an official of R.Car. It is at that point that it occurs to Chris (he says) that he might have tape of Amy dancing.

For one hour he searches finds and makes a copy of Amy dancing with Y. Now it is 4 a.m. (it takes only one hour to go through the tapes locate Amy on them and make a copy) and though the meeting below has now broken up there is a man at that spot who when Chris approaches him says he is a friend of the family and will take the tape.


(Now is this man FBI, a friend of the family (this is who he says he is), say Amy's Dad's boss, or someone else?)

What interests me is that Chris offers to screen the tape for the family but it is unclear if this ever happens. When Chris sees the man with Amy's parents at breakfast and Chris asks if the parents have seen the tape the man doesn't answer that question but says he has given it to the FBI (he doesn't say that the parents have seen the tape) after this Chris gets a call from ship security asking for the master tape saying the FBI wants it. Chris says they will have to contact him. They don't. It is unclear to me from Chris's blog whether the tape is extant I mean that copy (to his knowledge).

There are a lot of new "sleuthers" here, me included. Can someone, maybe, put a readers digest version of the "facts" as they have been presented? I don't know if that's remotely possible given the number of posts, but since there seems to be concern we are wondering down paths proven wrong this could be helpful. Or, if it's easier, put the rumors out there that have been proven to be false.

Lexxy

Exchange between me and FindAmy (this thread, posts 442/443):

Also, FA, do we know for sure that the Lexxxy photo you've posted is legit? Or might we find out that -- much like the fancy company business address -- the reality is a little more like this?

We're sure that's her. She would be in her mid to late 30s right now. She's probably close in age to Amy. She has three sons with Zaglanitis.

March 24, 1998: Amy Lynn Bradley Disappears from the Royal Caribbean Rhapsody of the Seas

II. The Crew

a. Eduardo Cabrita
Eduardo Cabrita was the head waiter who the Bradley family described as being overly attentive to Amy during the cruise.

The day that the ship docked in Aruba, the Bradley family rented a Jeep and toured the island. When they returned, Cabrita asked Amy if she would go with them after dinner to a bar called Carlos and Charlies -- the same location where Natalee Holloway disappeared, seven years later. Amy told her parents that she wouldn't go anywhere with the waiters because she thought they were creepy.

Cabrita is also the individual who approached Amy's brother, Brad, the next morning (the morning of Amy's disappearance) and expressed how sorry he was to hear that his sister was missing. This was before anyone knew Amy was missing.

During his interview with the FBI, Cabrita told them that Amy's mother, Iva, had asked him what would happen if someone fell off of the ship. Iva never had any such conversations with Cabrita.

Iva made several requests for Cabrita to be polygraphed. She was never given any results.

This photo of Cabrita was taken by Iva Bradley two days before Amy disappeared. Cabrita is from Portugual.

II. The Crew

b. Alister "Yellow" Douglas
Alister Douglas was the bass player in a band called "Blue Orchid" on Rhapsody of the Seas. Like Eduardo Cabrito, Douglas is one of the crew members the Bradleys described as being overly attentive to Amy. Iva Bradley, Amy's mother, commented on the very first day about how turned off she was by Douglas' behavior. He was described as obnoxious.

Amy encountered Alister "Yellow" Douglas in the ship's disco on the night before her disappearance. She had gone to the disco with her brother, Brad. Video captured by Chris Fenwick shows Amy dancing with Alister Douglas in the disco. That video can be found here: http://chrisfenwick.com/home/2011/3/24/amy-bradley-video.html

Douglas claims not to have seen Amy Bradley after 1:00 a.m. -- however -- a female passenger (called "E") was in the disco early the following morning (March 24) waiting to disembark into Curacao.

While she was sitting there, she saw Alister Douglas and Amy get off of the large glass elevators and walk to the bar in the disco. Douglas turned up the music. "E" saw Douglas bring Amy a drink containing a dark liquid that appeared to be Coke or coffee. "E" then left because the passengers were preparing to disembark. Amy was never seen again. Douglas was later seen alone in the glass elevator by two college coeds.

NOTE: There is also a staff elevator that leads from the disco. Could this be how Amy was transported out of sight?

"E"'s statements have been verified. She passed a polygraph and she testified before a Grand Jury.

Alister Douglas was questioned by the FBI. His polygraph was inconclusive. He maintains that he doesn't know what happened to Amy. He claims that Royal Caribbean searched his room and found no evidence that Amy had been with him. The FBI never charged him with anything. After the cruise, Royal Caribbean fired Alister Douglas for fraternizing with a passenger.

Douglas now lives in his native Grenada, where he has reportedly found religion and has been part of a band as well as some other small business ventures. He is married and has at least one child.

When the producers of "Vanished" were preparing to film the show, they contacted Douglas and offered him an opportunity to publicly give his version of the events. He refused. After Amy's "Vanished" episode aired, Douglas contacted the producers and complained that he was innocent and that he was unfairly represented in the film.

III. The Photos

a. December 2002
Photos believed by both the FBI and the Bradley family 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.

b. 2004-2005
These same photos of Amy appear on the Web site of the Villas las Morenas Resort in Playa el Agua on Margarita Island, owned by Paul Baxter. At some point between 2002 and 2005, the resort name changed to the Hibiscus Hotel. It is no longer in operation.

The origin of Amy's photos is unknown. It is known, however, that Georgios Alexandros "Alexis" "AlexisZ" Zaglanitis, Paul Baxter, and a man named Thomas Wild were connected to each other from at least 2002 through 2004, when Zaglanitis had a heart attack.

At that point, Paul Baxter changed AAV into an adult travel site called Total Satisfaction, Wild left to launch adult travel site My Wild Vacation (with Michael Hooper), and Zaglanitis' mistress/wife, who goes by the name Lexxy, took over Zaglanitis' Alexis Club (still in operation today).

ETA: Having photo-upload issues again. Will keep trying!

March 24, 1998: Amy Lynn Bradley Disappears from the Royal Caribbean Rhapsody of the Seas

IV. The Sightings

a. August 1998: Porto Marie, Curacao
In August of 1998 (six months after Amy disappeared) a Canadian engineer named David Carmichael was diving with a friend at the beach in Porto Marie, Curacao. Carmichael was organizing his equipment on the beach when he noticed a woman and two men walking toward him. He described the woman as having a horrified expression on her face, appearing frightened. When Carmichael began to respond to her, one of the men accompanying the woman ran between them. Carmichael reported that the man gave him a threatening look.

Later, Carmichael and his friend were on the deck of an outdoor bar, sitting close to Amy and the two "handlers." Carmichael had full view of tattoos and other distinguishing things about Amy, though he did not know at that time who she was.

When he returned to Canada, Carmichael saw Amy featured on a program. He immediately contacted the Bradley family and the FBI, providing specific details that helped identify the woman as Amy. Carmichael has passed polygraphs and willingly participated in interviews.

Though Royal Caribbean later sent their attorneys to his home in an attempt to intimidate him, Carmichael has absolutely maintained that one of the men he saw with Amy that day was Alister "Yellow" Douglas.

March 24, 1998: Amy Lynn Bradley Disappears from the Royal Caribbean Rhapsody of the Seas

IV. The Sightings

b. January 1999: Otrobanda, Willemstad, Curacao
Five months after the first Amy sighting (and ten months after she vanished), a U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer visited an old hotel in the Otrobanda section of Willemstad in Curacao, not far from the cruise terminal. The old hotel had once been a very distinguished hotel, but in 1999 it was old and prostitution was known to be available. (Prostitution is legal in Curacao and prostitutes are connected to many of the hotels.)

The U.S. Navy officer reported that Amy approached him and asked him for help. She said, "My name is Amy Bradley. Please help me." The officer didn’t know who Amy Bradley was or that she was missing. He told her there was a naval ship five minutes down the dock and that she could leave.

"No, you don’t understand," the woman pleaded. "Please help me. My name is Amy Bradley." At that time, according to the officer, two men in the bar removed her and told her to go upstairs.

The Chief Petty Officer did not report that he had seen Amy in the hotel because (1) the hotel was off limits to Navy personnel because of its bad reputation and (2) the man was also married at the time. He didn't realize who the woman was until he later saw her photograph on the cover of a magazine. At that point, he was divorced and retired from the Navy. He came forward with the information, which has been verified. He has met with the Bradleys, but has declined all interviews.

The old hotel burned to the ground in May of 2000. There is nothing left but an empty, overgrown lot.

Before the fire, the hotel had a bar that was a focal point for the area. Its location right along the canal in Otrobanda meant that tourists disembarking from cruise ships passed by the hotel on a daily basis. Many probably went inside for a drink and may have seen Amy.

ETA: more info about hotel

IV. The Sightings

c. April 18, 2003: Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco, CA
A little more than five years after she vanished, Amy was seen on April 18, 2003, at Pier 39 (Fisherman's Wharf) in San Francisco, CA. She was with two "handlers" as they were watching a musician on the pier. When Amy was recognized, the handlers literally grabbed Amy and ran before police could get there.

There were many witnesses who watched this take place. It is one of the best sightings and it has been verified as accurate. An FBI artist from Quantico was brought in, resulting in two of the three composite drawings of Amy and her handlers.

ETA: deleted an erroneous image

[Jersey*Girl]

Jaime, real quick post as I'm not home for the day... I've found a bunch of stuff that isn't up yet bc I fell asleep last night, had to get up at 6 & went to bed at 1:30 or 2. Only some of the info I posted was already in thread 1. Most of the more important stuff wasn't. I've researched other companies owned by AGZ. He uses several aliases which we know. None of the info I posted isn't related in any way, shape or form. I posted what I did in a succession of company footprints. There's a lot. There's more. I'm finding an address in TX as well, with a couple in Michigan. I'be researched some ips that show different addresses and other contact names, but some phone numbers stay the same. Everything being discussed was done bc it's the direction FA wanted us to go in. Btw, nobody has to go in that direction just bc somebody has an opinion that seems more important or bc they demand it. This is Websleuths & this thread was set up to investigate Amy Bradley's disappearance. That's what we're doing. If and when this thread has its own section dedicated to Amy, there would be no problem bc several threads would be split up to talk about & investigate each & every aspect. Up until then, we are in an open forum and free to express and investigate how we wish as long as its within the guidelines. That's what's being done so there shouldn't be a problem. Seriously. If somebody doesn't agree with something, fine - move on. I think everyone should be respected here.

Again, several aliases, several companies, several fronts...etc.

There is a lot of info, a lot... Meta data for each site could be checked to compare against one another. Sure Hamilton might have been brought up before but not investigated to this capacity with newcomers technically able to help Elepher uncover stuff. That in & of itself is very important & should very well be respected.
