VA - Amy Bradley, 23, Petersburg, 24 March 1998 - #3

[dotr]

I saw this discussed on reddit. Would further make me worry that FBI is no longer working on the case since Amy was 23 when she went missing, not a child. Taking her down from the missing persons page and only leaving her on a missing children's page doesn't look like she's a top priority for them unfortunately. Which begs to differ with FindAmys account of recent sightings of Amy that just can't be discussed and that it's an open, active case with the FBI.

As carefully as I can, wondering if other places where 'players' might post , are as stringently moderated and verified, as W.s?

At the risk of sounding like some "alternative news" nut, my feeling is that her info has been removed from their page as part of whatever is going on with the various LE and the (alleged) continued investigation. They even deactivated the link to her missing poster on the archived 2010 article (you should be able to click on her photo and be directed to her poster), but the same is true for some others such as little Allyson Corrales and Rachel Louise Cooke. Maybe there are security concerns, or maybe they're just revising the information. JMO. The alternative is quite terrible.

Hardly a day goes by that I don't think of Amy. My heart breaks for her family, particularly her mother.

No I seriously doubt it. I think that is one of the highlights of WS that posters can be verified.

[modsnip] WS really does a great job as a forum and for its members.

I wonder why sightings post 2005 have not been released for safety reasons but sightings prior had been. And I still have no idea what illegal activity would benefit from a kidnapped all American looking female. I hope one day we have the answer. I hope FA has the best interest of the Bradley's in mind and that it's true that there have been significant developments.

We don't discuss other members here. Knock it off and focus on Amy.

Images and locations of importance.

This is a cruise ship docked at the old pier in Ortrobanda. The pier is located across the street from the location of the Stelaris Hotel. The ships pull up to the street to dock. When the MegaPier is full, cruise ships still dock at this old pier. The Stelaris Hotel had a bar that was open to the public. This is an historic area of Willemstad with many tourists.

This is not Rhapsody of the Seas, but it is a very good example of how the cruise ships dock at the Curacao Megapier. The area is completely open with a few tent coverings on the dock. Cars and trucks drive up to the ship for loading and unloading containers. Rhapsody of the Seas was at the pier when Amy disappeared at 6:00AM. Yet another reason Amy DID NOT fall overboard.

This is Amy's Interpol classification. The Yellow Card identifies her as a missing person. This is in every Custom's computer throughout the world. If Amy is seen coming through a custom's point, this Interpol system will allow for her to be detained.

The beach in Porto Marie, Curacao Where Carmichael sighted Amy, Alister Douglas and another unidentified captor.

This is the outdoor bar at Porto Marie where David Carmichael and his dive partner sat near Amy, after encountering her on the beach.

This is the Stelaris Hotel in 1998 and as it appears now, after it burned to the ground.

The Stelaris also had a bar that was open to the public. How many people from the cruise ships saw Amy, but didn't recognize her?

Amy was seen at Fisherman's Wharf in the area near the Alacatraz ticket booth. This sighting has been one of the most important.

The town of Playa el Agua on Margarita Island is just a small beach town. From what I understand, this is one of the nicest beaches on Margarita Island and it's a popular vacation area for people from Venezuela.

Bridgetown has two harbors. One is for the cruise ships and the other is for yachts. All yachts must register when they enter the harbor and they have to sign out when they leave. They have to present an itinerary when they leave Bridgetown. When they are docked in the harbor, the yacht needs to be connected to electricity and there is a rental for the dock slip. All people on the yacht need to go through Customs.

On March 1, 2005, Amy was seen in the restroom of a department store in Bridgetown, Barbados. The store is located on Broad St, a few blocks from the yacht basin.

The bathroom stall where Judy's encounter took place.

Broad street in Bridgetown where Judy saw Amy and her captors walking after the bathroom encounter.

These are photographs from the Affordable Adult Vacations website where Amy's photographs appeared from 2002 until August of 2005.

The Salinja club sighting where Amy was reportedly seen in November, 2005. The club is over an auto parts store and a car wash.

murkywaters - thanks for that informative post with a lot of pictures i had never seen before. you said the ship was docked when she went missing. i've always read that it was near shore but not docked. can you provide a source for the info that it was actually already docked when she went missing? that would certainly change some of the theories. thanks in advance.

2011.. Do strange things happen after attending an upper deck bar?
bbm


"On the evening of April 6 this year, John Halford packed his suitcase and left it outside the door of his cabin on the cruise liner Thomson Spirit. It was the last day of a week-long Egyptian cruise and the ship was due to dock at Sharm-el-Sheikh the following morning.

Mr Halford, 63, texted his wife Ruth, who was at home in Britain, to say he would see her at the airport the next day, then went off to dinner. At about 12.30 am, he was seen by other passengers drinking cocktails in an upper-deck bar. He then vanished."

"When Mr. Bradley awoke at about 6 a.m., Amy was gone (as were her cigarettes and lighter), her shoes were on the deck beside the deck lounge, and the sliding glass door adjoining the cabin to the balcony was ajar. Ron Bradley remembers being surprised that his daughter, usually a late sleeper, had left the cabin so early. He decided to look for Amy, whom he guessed might have gone for coffee or to the ship's upper decks to view the port of Curacao. When Bradley reached the open decks, RHAPSODY OF THE SEAS was already alongside the island's cruise ship pier."

It has been said numerous times that the SF sighting is deemed as the "most important". Why? What makes it more important than any of the other sightings?

 

[tricket]

Looking again at the video of Amy dancing, in the first shot, it appears that she is a) heavily intoxicated and B) possibly drugged?

The red head looks so much like the first man profiled on john washes the hunt. Uncanny.

I gIve up. I had a long post , almost finished it, and suddenly and mysteriously it just went away. Oh well. Maybe I'll get the energy up to do it again, later.

Well, a lot of factors i guess. One would definitely be that it actually took place on US soil, there were about 10 witnesses that saw it take place. They were able to give many very crucial and important details to forensic sketch artists and investigators. The witnesses even proclaimed the sketches looked almost like actual pictures, the FBI took this sighting VERY seriously and worked a lot on it. FindAmy has expressed they dropped the ball in a lot of the Southern caribbean sightings.

Here is a map of Places of Interest in the Southern Caribbean FindAmy has previously posted here.

The third red 'place of interest' under Curacao is pointing to Margarita Island, Venezuela where the escort agency who advertised Amy's photos was located. I assume FindAmy has information that Amy has in fact been there. Perhaps it could be one of the Post-2005 sightings?

thanks. so it was docked when he started to look for her but was likely coming in to shore when she disappeared, which is why the fbi says she was close enough to shore to have survived (or for a body to have washed ashore). ships travel around 22 knots per hour (per google) which is about 25mph. i'm not sure if they slow down as they get near shore but we can take a guess that the ship was doing between 10 and 25 mph. let's estimate she went missing approx 30 minutes before her dad realized she was gone which means she could have gone overboard between 5 and 13 miles offshore. that certainly seems far enough to have trouble making it to shore, although my math is based entirely on guesses.

 

[masootz]

is there a possibility, given the layout of the cabin, that "yellow" could have seen ab on the balcony and signaled or asked her to come down for coffee? that would solve the "mystery meeting" problem.

I think so. Odd though, here we have two people that were up most of the night partying, then both arise early and just by happenstance, get together. Plus Amy was not an early riser.

Idk, maybe it was planned, which would explain why Amy never went to bed that night. Maybe she had plans to meet Yellow for coffee and watch the sun rise. Starting to kind of look that way to me. Jmo

 

[neesaki]

On second thought, Amy may have just mentioned to Yellow that she was planning to go down and watch the ship come into port and / or watch the sun rise, And he took advantage of the opportunity.

good point. i feel firmly that if they ran into each other that morning then he didn't drug her coffee (he wouldn't have known he'd be seeing her) and if they planned to meet then her not telling her family is very suspicious. however you bring up a great third option that she wasn't planning to meet with him but he was planning to "bump into" her. i'd be interested if her brother recalls her talking to him at the dance club. we've seen the video of the two of them dancing but what's the context? did he just dance up to her and that was it, or did they go grab a beer and talk for a while? that kind of small detail can make a big difference imo.

the one thing that steers me towards "suspicious meeting" is that she didn't mention anything (afaik) to her brother about going to see the sun rise, getting coffee, etc. i totally get that it could have been a spur of the moment decision to take a walk since everyone else was asleep but it seems a bit odd given the context that they had a planned outing that day and were going to breakfast early in the morning. sure seems like an hour or two of sleep would have made more sense, but i was young once and can see how the decision to just stay up all night would seem like a good one to a young person.

Its good to see so much activity in amy's forum even after all these years
