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 We prefer that our members consider the information put forth by FindAmy and leave the outdated misinformation behind.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.
