Amy Bradley, 23, Disappeared from cruise ship en route to Curaçao, 24 March 1998 #4

[jashrema]

"... FBI told Royal Caribbean that a table with Amy's footprints on it was found pushed against the railings with Amy's shoes atop it" (RC spokesman is quoted here)

https://www.styleweekly.com/richmond/part-iii/Content?oid=1383740

The table with the shoes was made by a Royal Caribbean spokesperson. He said the FBI told HIM, and I guess, ONLY him as the Bradley's say this little tidbit is a lie, and the FBI verified with her that Amy's footprints were NOT on it.

If you're looking for unreliable info..I would say the cruise mouthpiece would be it. Seems to me he is trying to change the narrative that Amy pushed the table to the railing, stood on it, and jumped. That screams deception and butt covering to me. I see absolutely no reason that the FBI would ever tell HIM anything about their investigation. Not to mention, footprints? I'd like to know how that was accomplished, days later? No talk of confiscating this table as evidence from the FBI. No talk of taking a table to a lab to check for evidence, How did they know those were definitively Amy's footprints? This whole line from the cruise guy is BS, meant to throw a new narrative that absolves the cruise line, and frankly, makes the cruise line look even shadier in my book.

The last place she was seen, by a completely reliable witness, we all agree, was on the balcony. Thirty minutes later she wasn't anywhere. She had been inebriated and feeling ill. No one in the room she'd have had to pass through, opening and closing a balcony and stateroom door to leave, heard or saw her anywhere but on the balcony. This is the fact. Any other sighting is questionable, people have mistaken ME for other people or told me I look just like .... ALL of my life. Memory is tricky even when it's your own. Amy was known to be on the balcony. If she didn't come through the room again - and one of the three people there would certainly have noticed something about her passing through if she had - then the only other place she could be is the ocean. From the balcony of a moving ship. Due to something as simple as an inebriated, confused, half asleep unfortunate who made a mistake and/or had a tragic accident.

It wasn’t just a room though. It was a family suite. I also recall that the balcony may have had two doors. One leading into the bedroom and one leading into the sitting room. She likely wouldn’t have had to pass by anyone. Even if she had, it is still possible to quietly sneak by without waking anyone.
Combine that with the witness sightings who saw her on the ship after that point in time and I think it is highly likely she at least left the room.

I took a cruise on this exact ship two weeks ago. Granted this case was years ago when the ship was new, but the balcony doors were very loud. You’d never be able to sneak off the balcony.

Ok, if anyone finds a link to this showing, I'd love to watch it, thanks.

Did you get the impression that their focus is back on the ship then?

Oh, sorry, I didn't read that far down. But it seems the FBI never confirmed nor denied a footprint if I read that right.

So we are down to the FBI found evidence of a person sitting on the railing...

Could have been somebody else in the family from a prior day or somebody from a prior cruise.

I took a cruise on the exact ship a year after her disappearance and the door was quiet. Somebody could have easily opened without waking her parents

Thank you for the information. I usually cruise with Carnival and that has been my experience as well. The doors self-close and are very heavy, not all are watertight but they are still heavy and close fitting to the thresh hold. This makes them noisy.

It is good that you have experience with this exact same ship.

I agree that I generally find the reliability of this questionable, but we are left with
FBI as I read it neither confirmed nor denied a footprint and given that it was a company spokesman, it is suspect but that in itself doesn't mean it is untrue.

IMO, Yellow knows about what happened to Amy, at least in the earliest stage of her disappearance.

I think someone else said it on here: if you look for him on YouTube under his real name, every single comment on his videos is like: "Where is Amy Bradley?" "What happened to Amy?" "Why won't you tell us what happened?"

 

[Hiandmighty]

Could have been somebody else in the family from a prior day or somebody from a prior cruise.

Yes. Maybe with today's technology, but back in 1998 there is no way to tell.

However, we usually get balconies or suites and the room steward does clean the balcony at least once a day, including wiping down the furniture.

So if it isn't Ron's,Iva's or Brad's there is still a good chance that it was Amy's. Now, was she relaxing with her feet up or was it a full footprint... we don't know.

People have admitted on other places to harassing him and even his daughter about this case.

Or it coulda have been Amy. Doesn’t mean anything. Footprints on the table with the shoes on them sounds to me like she stretched her legs out and kicked her shoes off. Bare feet on a table tend to leave footprints. Regardless, my guess is it was the RC spokesperson planting fake info to further their agenda.

That is an opinion and a very subjective opinion at that. Also, did you read the part where the family suite had 2 balcony doors? She wouldn’t have had to open the door to her parents room.

No problemo! But watch sooner than later. Those newly aired shows don’t tend to stay up very long.

Yes it does...snipped from article
(Questioned later, Steck says he "may have leapt to a conclusion." He maintains that the FBI told the cruise line a footprint was found on the table but says he's not sure if it was Amy's.)
blah, blah, blah...he's lying. Trust me, the FBI will NEVER confirm to anyone what evidence they do and don't have unless they have reason too.

I'm sticking with the most obvious and definitive clue (for me at least) that she left the room. Her smokes and lighter were gone. I don't go anywhere (and that includes my own backyard) without my cigarettes.

Besides... "An FBI spokesperson denied that any representative of the FBI would have told Royal Caribbean anything about evidence in the case.

I think that makes his statement untrue

Rest of the quote for completeness:

"An FBI spokesperson denied that any representative of the FBI would have told Royal Caribbean anything about evidence in the case, though they wouldn't confirm that Amy's footprints were not found on the table."

again..the FBI will NEVER confirm any type of information regarding evidence in an ongoing case unless they want too. Them not confirming a rumor that some guy from the cruise line started is SOP. They don't give voice to rumors/lies etc..

<modsnip> How would anyone know they were hers?) in the mix. The FBI flatly denied that they ever told this guy that, which means the FBI is saying he's lying. NOT that they wouldn't confirm they told him...they flat out say that it is FALSE, meaning a lie.

 

[Hiandmighty]

I believe there may not be a footprint at all.

I&#8217;m following what may or may not be something of interest.

I took footprint to mean like a fingerprint&#8212; something that was dusted and found.

I&#8217;m hoping someone can bring up the broken link about the footprint.
