Regarding sightings, there have been many, many "sightings" over the years. I don't know about the one on the ship, but the FBI did take several sightings very seriously, and they seemed to have some consistency across them. What I discount are the "sightings" produced by the cruiseline during the court case aimed at claiming that Amy hadn't been kidnapped. They claimed sightings all over the place, which is odd that she wouldn't have turned up by now. But I guess she's either everywhere or at the bottom of the sea. LOL.
We all have our opinions on whether or not this was foul play, but Amy's case is very, very different from most cruise disappearances/overboards. The fact that Amy herself expressed unease about some crew members, the fact that all of her photos were missing, and so much more.
Also, I did some research quite some time ago on the incidence of cruise ship overboards and I can't remember it all right now, but the number I came up with showed that it is extremely rare for such an occurrence. It happens, but boy is it unlikely considering the number of cruise passengers per year!
