You wonder how long ago and who discovered the likeness of the bed and the fence.

Food for thought.

Here is an article published in the CBC today about removing Tasmanian Devil tattoos.

the design in that bed rail is very common. i don't know that a seedy hotel would bother to match their fence posts with their bed rails, or how that would even be possible.

i also still think it's a stretch that the pictures, if it even is ab, was posted to humiliate her. it doesn't make sense. they posted it on a random escort site. they wouldn't possibly have thought that anyone ab knew would stumble on that site. if they wanted to humiliate her they could have created a social media account (whatever was popular at the time - friendster, myspace, etc) or posted her picture to a popular *advertiser censored* site.

Has there been any proof/speculation as to how long after Amy's abduction the pics were taken? Was it that same year, two years later, 8 years later etc?

According to the VI, it has been confirmed by the FBI that the pics are believed to be Amy Bradley. It's not a "random" site (i.e. kijiji, craigslist, backdoor, etc) ... it's a site administered by folks specializing in sex vacations in the Caribbean where Amy disappeared from. The site is run by folks believed to be somehow connected to Amy's disappearance.

To achieve humiliation (with a goal of ultimate compliance), it is not necessary that the public see her pic; only to have Amy (a classy, sophisticated and independent young lady) BELIEVE that the public is able to see her in such a demeaning fashion. IMO, even the look on her face is one of utter disdain.

Do you have a link for that? And when you say that it's been confirmed that the pics are believed to be AB, do you mean that the FBI believes this, or that someone, somewhere, believes this?

I am personally aware of two individuals within the last couple of years who have had threats made against them by organized crime (specifically those in the drug trade). In one incident a young girl went with someone to a "farm". Turns out the person who took her there worked at this "farm" (pot farm) and was not supposed to bring anyone there. The young girl was photographed, was told (paraphrased) "We know everything about you, where you live, your phone number, who your relatives are, everything ... if anything happens that the cops show up, we know where to find you". (Thinking of the pics that were taken of the Bradleys home = we know where your parents live.)

In another incident, a senior (60+) lady moved into a rented house. Opened the door to a knock one day and was confronted by thugs with guns. When it became apparent she knew nothing of the history of the house or its occupants, she had a gun held to her head, and was told basically the same thing the young girl ^^ was told.

Humiliation, intimidation, threats against family, ensure compliance and silence.

The VI (FA) advised that an FBI investigator stated it is AB and that forensic detectives agree it is her (not sure I'm allowed to link to the reddit page).

 

[Montjoy]

So, no links, only hearsay.

Only if you can't find the reddit page on your own.

 

[Montjoy]

That would be like finding a link to hearsay, not to MSM. I'd have to read it from a FBI source.

I'm not here to convince you ... you have the option of believing the VI or not:

Exactly.

 

[neesaki]

Exactly.

So you're saying that the all the information provided by the VI is hearsay? If thats the case, what would be the purpose of anyone being a verified insider? Just call me curious and confused. :sigh:

The man left the restroom, and that's when the female witness came out of the stall. That is when she talked to Amy. This is according to my memories from the Vanished episodes. Hope this helps.

ETA: It appears this was answered in some other posts, sorry I didn't see them in time.

I am sure this has been asked and answered but I am going to ask again..
If the witness was in the stall and came out to talk to AB after the man left, how and when did she see him?

Hi Dushi, :wave: IIRC she saw the men when he burst back in and as she exited the restroom.

Really? That's interesting. When I hear "best witness" I think cop, nun, priest or someone who knew Amy. It makes me think of someone who's credibility wouldn't be questioned.

I believe that in this particular case that the " best witness" would most most likely be FBI....
This case is most likely on their radar... But the fact that the opponents are so entrenched and well known as adversaries makes everything way more complicAted...
It wAs also alluded to by the verified insider FA that Amy was more than likely subject to Stockholm syndrome....
In any case I believe it is way more complicated than it appears...
I agree that the photos on the website were to both humiliate and discourage Amy and to throw her family off track so that they would spend vast resources searching for her in a *advertiser censored* setting when all along this was a red herring...
I think someone very powerful desired an all American/ sporty girl and was willing to snatch her from the boat...not for sex, drugs or children... But as an English speaking partner in a terror regime... Jmo

Wesley Neville is the forensic detective that did overlays of Amy's and Jaz's photos. He stated he would bet his career that 'Jas'' is Amy Bradley. He is well known for his forensic work with identifications.

This is Wesley's forensic evaluation. The Bradley's all stand behind his work.

Holy crap. That is bone chilling.
