March 24, 1998: Amy Lynn Bradley Disappears from the Royal Caribbean Rhapsody of the Seas
III. The Photos
a. December 2002
Photos believed by both the FBI and the Bradley family to be of Amy first appear on the Web site for Affordable Adult Vacations (AAV), a Venezuelan escort Web site owned by Georgios Alexandros "Alexis" "AlexisZ" Zaglanitis, a Canadian.
b. 2004-2005
These same photos of Amy appear on the Web site of the Villas las Morenas Resort in Playa el Agua on Margarita Island, owned by Paul Baxter. At some point between 2002 and 2005, the resort name changed to the Hibiscus Hotel. It is no longer in operation.
The origin of Amy's photos is unknown. It is known, however, that Georgios Alexandros "Alexis" "AlexisZ" Zaglanitis, Paul Baxter, and a man named Thomas Wild were connected to each other from at least 2002 through 2004, when Zaglanitis had a heart attack.
At that point, Paul Baxter changed AAV into an adult travel site called Total Satisfaction, Wild left to launch adult travel site My Wild Vacation (with Michael Hooper), and Zaglanitis' mistress/wife, who goes by the name Lexxy, took over Zaglanitis' Alexis Club (still in operation today).
ETA: Having photo-upload issues again. Will keep trying!

March 24, 1998: Amy Lynn Bradley Disappears from the Royal Caribbean Rhapsody of the Seas
IV. The Sightings
a. August 1998: Porto Marie, Curacao
In August of 1998 (six months after Amy disappeared) a Canadian engineer named David Carmichael was diving with a friend at the beach in Porto Marie, Curacao. Carmichael was organizing his equipment on the beach when he noticed a woman and two men walking toward him. He described the woman as having a horrified expression on her face, appearing frightened. When Carmichael began to respond to her, one of the men accompanying the woman ran between them. Carmichael reported that the man gave him a threatening look.
Later, Carmichael and his friend were on the deck of an outdoor bar, sitting close to Amy and the two "handlers." Carmichael had full view of tattoos and other distinguishing things about Amy, though he did not know at that time who she was.
When he returned to Canada, Carmichael saw Amy featured on a program. He immediately contacted the Bradley family and the FBI, providing specific details that helped identify the woman as Amy. Carmichael has passed polygraphs and willingly participated in interviews.
Though Royal Caribbean later sent their attorneys to his home in an attempt to intimidate him, Carmichael has absolutely maintained that one of the men he saw with Amy that day was Alister "Yellow" Douglas.

March 24, 1998: Amy Lynn Bradley Disappears from the Royal Caribbean Rhapsody of the Seas
IV. The Sightings
b. January 1999: Otrobanda, Willemstad, Curacao
Five months after the first Amy sighting (and ten months after she vanished), a U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer visited an old hotel in the Otrobanda section of Willemstad in Curacao, not far from the cruise terminal. The old hotel had once been a very distinguished hotel, but in 1999 it was old and prostitution was known to be available. (Prostitution is legal in Curacao and prostitutes are connected to many of the hotels.)
The U.S. Navy officer reported that Amy approached him and asked him for help. She said, "My name is Amy Bradley. Please help me." The officer didn’t know who Amy Bradley was or that she was missing. He told her there was a naval ship five minutes down the dock and that she could leave.
"No, you don’t understand," the woman pleaded. "Please help me. My name is Amy Bradley." At that time, according to the officer, two men in the bar removed her and told her to go upstairs.
The Chief Petty Officer did not report that he had seen Amy in the hotel because (1) the hotel was off limits to Navy personnel because of its bad reputation and (2) the man was also married at the time. He didn't realize who the woman was until he later saw her photograph on the cover of a magazine. At that point, he was divorced and retired from the Navy. He came forward with the information, which has been verified. He has met with the Bradleys, but has declined all interviews.
The old hotel burned to the ground in May of 2000. There is nothing left but an empty, overgrown lot.
Before the fire, the hotel had a bar that was a focal point for the area. Its location right along the canal in Otrobanda meant that tourists disembarking from cruise ships passed by the hotel on a daily basis. Many probably went inside for a drink and may have seen Amy.

Hey, FA, a thought just occurred to me. No problem if you're not at liberty to answer this, but did the U.S. Navy officer happen to recognize the bed from Amy's photos as having come from that Otrobanda hotel?

Right on!
This old hotel had a bar that was a focal point for the area and attracted people into the old hotel. The hotel was located right along the canal in Otrobanda. Tourists disembarking from cruise ships passed by the hotel on a daily basis. Many probably went inside for a drink.

From what I know, he was in the bar and I have no knowledge that he actually hired a prostitute. The hotel was not a registered brothel, although prostitutes are available at the hotels, too.

March 24, 1998: Amy Lynn Bradley Disappears from the Royal Caribbean Rhapsody of the Seas
IV. The Sightings
c. April 18, 2003: Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco, CA
A little more than five years after she vanished, Amy was seen on April 18, 2003, at Pier 39 (Fisherman's Wharf) in San Francisco, CA. She was with two "handlers" as they were watching a musician on the pier. When Amy was recognized, the handlers literally grabbed Amy and ran before police could get there.
There were many witnesses who watched this take place. It is one of the best sightings and it has been verified as accurate. An FBI artist from Quantico was brought in, resulting in two of the three composite drawings of Amy and her handlers.

Jaime, I don't really know what was going on with the sailor that night. He kept referring to the hotel as a brothel, but it really wasn't a brothel. It was an old hotel. Curacao is known for it's brothels and several of them are huge. There's one by the airport that's a camp. If he was looking for a prostitute, he should have gone to one of the regular brothels for a choice and a set price.
I wonder if he went into the hotel because of the bar. It was an important spot in that area. It was also off limits to Naval personnel. I'm sure there were lots of problems. Ships pull up to the Otrobanda streets along the canal, and maybe he went to the bar because of the location.
He never said that Amy or the girl she was sitting with were being pimped out. He never said that either of them approached him for sex. Amy's handlers obviously didn't want her talking to anyone because they sent her upstairs as soon as she spoke to the guy. How would they be pimping Amy if they didn't want her to talk? He wasn't very clear with his description of the other woman, either, so I don't know if he even had any contact with her.
I have wondered if this old hotel was a cheap and obscure place for Amy and her handlers to stay while they were doing business. Maybe it was where Amy lived.

FA, is that sketch of Amy from the sighting in San Francisco or is it from Barbados? I think I have it attached to the wrong sighting.
Amy wasn't drugged until the next morning, from what we know.

March 24, 1998: Amy Lynn Bradley Disappears from the Royal Caribbean Rhapsody of the Seas
IV. The Sightings
d. March 2005: Bridgetown, Barbados
Seven years after Amy's disappearance, an American woman was using the restroom in a Barbados department store (the woman can't remember if the store was Harrison's or Cave Shepherd). The door to the restroom opened and a woman was escorted in by a man, who told the woman to check if anyone else was inside. The American woman became frightened and lifted her feet so they couldn't be seen under the door to her stall.
The American woman watched as the other woman pressed her face against the crack by the hinge of the stall and announced that the stall was empty. The American woman knew immediately that the woman had seen her in the stall. The man who escorted the woman into the restroom proceeded to speak for several minutes. The conversation was overheard by the American witness in her stall.
The man then left the restroom. When the American witness was satisfied that the man was gone, she came out of the stall. At this point she encountered a frightened Amy Bradley. She had a conversation with Amy. During the conversation, Amy identified herself and said where she was from.
The man came back into the restroom and became angry when he saw Amy with the witness. The witness immediately left the restroom and returned to her husband, who was waiting in the store.
Amy and the man left the restroom and walked out of the store's entrance. Four men completely surrounded Amy. Amy and these four handlers were later seen walking on a Barbados street.
The American witness didn't realize who Amy was until she returned to the U.S. and saw her in a magazine. This sighting has been completely verified.
ETA: possible store names

She looks totally drugged in the video, especially with her hand on top of Alister's when they were "dancing". Nothing about her past suggest she'd go on a cruise, meet a total stranger, then hours later dance with him that close behind her with his arm around her side & her hand on top. They were too close for it to not be sexy and nothing about her past suggests anything promiscuous. Truly looks to me that she had a mood enhancing something or other. Then looking at her by the elevator, wow.
How does anyone know she wasn't drugged prior?
What is the time of the video?
Here's what I'm wondering... Could she have been given something mood altering, danced & drank in the club, gone back to her room then realized maybe she was feeling something more due to an inhibitor, so maybe she snuck out to Alister & he took advantage then kidnapped her? Kinda farfetched but is it possible?
How long does it take for ghb to take its full effect? I thought it was 2-3 hours. How long did she dance?
