- 0:01Speaker 1: Hi guys, Welcome to another episode of Legally Brunette. I'll
- 0:05Speaker 1: be your host, Emily Simpson and Shane. First of all,
- 0:09Speaker 1: it's just Shane because everyone when people DM me now
- 0:11Speaker 1: about you and the podcast, they call you just Shane.
- 0:15Speaker 2: First name, just yest name, Shane.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Yes, So we are excited to do this podcast today
- 0:19Speaker 1: because we are not in our normal setting in a
- 0:22Speaker 1: bedroom in our.
- 0:23Speaker 2: House with dogs and.
- 0:26Speaker 1: Where we have to hit pause because someone needs a snack.
- 0:29Speaker 1: We are actually in beautiful Lake Tahoe at this home
- 0:33Speaker 1: of Verbo Home and it is magnificent. It is so beautiful.
- 0:37Speaker 1: The view is unreal. So we're super excited to do
- 0:40Speaker 1: this podcast today because look at this view behind us.
- 0:43Speaker 2: That's awesome. Yeah, very outdoorsy.
- 0:46Speaker 1: All right. First of all, I'm so excited about doing
- 0:48Speaker 1: this podcast today because we are going to talk about it.
- 0:51Speaker 1: It came out on Netflix. It's called Amy Bradley is Missing.
- 0:54Speaker 1: And I will be honest, even though this took place
- 0:56Speaker 1: in the nineties and I feel like I'm like an
- 0:58Speaker 1: expert in all things nineties, I had actually never heard
- 1:01Speaker 1: of Amy Bradley before and this incident on a cruise ship.
- 1:04Speaker 1: So when I started watching it on Netflix. I wasn't
- 1:07Speaker 1: even really all that invested in it. It's three parts,
- 1:10Speaker 1: and by the time I watched the entire thing, I
- 1:13Speaker 1: was just completely invested. I have not stopped researching. I
- 1:18Speaker 1: feel badly for my producer on this podcast because I
- 1:20Speaker 1: have inundated her with every possible article.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Reddit thread takes turf for me for talking about it
- 1:28Speaker 2: all week.
- 1:28Speaker 1: No, I don't feel sorry for you at all. That's
- 1:30Speaker 1: what you signed up for. But I don't know if
- 1:31Speaker 1: Mattie knows that's what she signed up for. All right,
- 1:35Speaker 1: let's start off. Let's just give a brief synopsis of
- 1:38Speaker 1: the case. This is actually from the FBI's website because
- 1:41Speaker 1: it is still even though it's been twenty seven years,
- 1:43Speaker 1: it is an active case. So twenty three year old
- 1:46Speaker 1: Amy Lynn Bradley, while on a family cruise in the Caribbean,
- 1:49Speaker 1: went missing from the Royal Caribbean International Cruise Line. The
- 1:52Speaker 1: ship was called Rhapsody of the Seas. Also, this was
- 1:55Speaker 1: something else I looked up. I wanted to know if
- 1:57Speaker 1: that ship was still work like a working ship today
- 2:00Speaker 1: it's operating. It is still an operating ship, however, and
- 2:04Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys know this because I
- 2:05Speaker 1: wanted to know this.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Let me guess what you want to use. You want
- 2:09Speaker 2: to go on the ship and go in her room?
- 2:11Speaker 1: Well that yes, I do, okay, But I wanted to
- 2:14Speaker 1: know if they changed the name of the ship or
- 2:17Speaker 1: if they kept it Rhapsody. I'd likely they branded it, yeah,
- 2:20Speaker 1: because I don't know if they wanted to be like
- 2:22Speaker 1: welcome to the ship that Amy Bradley was right disappeared on.
- 2:27Speaker 1: So I didn't know if they changed the name. So
- 2:28Speaker 1: if anybody knows that, I was not able to find
- 2:31Speaker 1: confirmation of that. So on Saturday, March twenty first of
- 2:34Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight, the vessel departed San Juan, Puerto Rico
- 2:37Speaker 1: and traveled to its very first port of call, which
- 2:39Speaker 1: was Aruba. The next day or no, By Monday, March
- 2:43Speaker 1: twenty third, nineteen ninety eight, Rhapsody of the Seas departed
- 2:47Speaker 1: Aruba and was traveling in international waters to its next
- 2:50Speaker 1: island port of Currosal. First of all, do you want
- 2:54Speaker 1: to tell me what international waters are? Sir?
- 2:56Speaker 2: What do you think maritime law is or how it applies?
- 3:00Speaker 2: At first? You a big lawyer, you tell me I'm a.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Big lawyer, Okay, First of all, when we were watching this,
- 3:06Speaker 1: I think a lot of people when you take a
- 3:07Speaker 1: cruise because I've taken multiple cruises. But when you get
- 3:10Speaker 1: on a cruise ship, do you go onto the cruise
- 3:13Speaker 1: ship thinking, hmm, I'm about to depart the United States
- 3:17Speaker 1: on a floating island that hasn't no security, security, no
- 3:21Speaker 1: police force. Well there's security, but no police force.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Well yeah, but the security is hired by who the
- 3:26Speaker 2: cruise ship exactly.
- 3:28Speaker 1: And I'm just going to flow out in the middle
- 3:29Speaker 1: of the sea and hope that nothing happens. You know,
- 3:33Speaker 1: you don't really think that. You just think I'm going
- 3:34Speaker 1: to drink and I'm going to hang out by the pool.
- 3:37Speaker 1: But it's really a risk when you step onto a
- 3:41Speaker 1: cruise ship.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Well risk going on a plane. There's a risk you
- 3:44Speaker 2: go on a plane. I mean you have the Air
- 3:46Speaker 2: India flight. You know, unfortunately the pilot is known to
- 3:49Speaker 2: have purposely cause the plane to crash.
- 3:52Speaker 1: So we know that is that breaking news?
- 3:55Speaker 2: You heard it. I didn't tell you that you flew today,
- 3:59Speaker 2: So I did tell you that cut off the engines
- 4:03Speaker 2: and purposely it went down.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Wow. I did do a little research because I wanted
- 4:08Speaker 1: to understand a little bit briefly about about the law
- 4:10Speaker 1: when you're on a cruise ship. So basically, every cruise
- 4:13Speaker 1: ship has to be registered, and it's registered with a
- 4:16Speaker 1: specific country, and then that country port a port. So
- 4:21Speaker 1: for example, I think it said Royal Caribbean has most
- 4:24Speaker 1: of their ships registered, I don't remember.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Like with the Bahamas, Yeah, Bahamas.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Right, and then maybe they had like another one registered
- 4:30Speaker 1: in Panama or something. So then that would be your
- 4:33Speaker 1: governing laws for the ship.
- 4:34Speaker 2: And I would imagine that they choose those places. It
- 4:38Speaker 2: doesn't have Yeah, ours a business decision. It's not based
- 4:41Speaker 2: on like the security of the passengers or anything.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Right. Then, when you are in a port, the laws
- 4:48Speaker 1: of that port apply if the crime takes place in
- 4:51Speaker 1: the port.
- 4:51Speaker 2: Yeah, regardless of what port you're in. So if you're
- 4:53Speaker 2: if it's registered in Bahamas, but you're in Italy for
- 4:58Speaker 2: some reason at that port, then that and the crime
- 5:00Speaker 2: occurs well within that port, that port will have jurisdiction, right.
- 5:04Speaker 1: So then, but when you're out in the open sea,
- 5:07Speaker 1: the way I understand it is if you're twenty four
- 5:09Speaker 1: miles out away from land, that's called international waters. And
- 5:15Speaker 1: then when you're in international waters. I believe it's the
- 5:18Speaker 1: country where the ship is registered sort of. Okay, thank
- 5:23Speaker 1: you for that explanation.
- 5:25Speaker 2: All right, So within twelve miles law applies. So if
- 5:29Speaker 2: you break the law within twelve miles, whatever that law is,
- 5:32Speaker 2: you know, drugs or assault, battery, whatever, the law of
- 5:36Speaker 2: the land applies just the same within the next twelve miles.
- 5:41Speaker 2: So from twelve to twenty four miles there's the laws.
- 5:46Speaker 2: I think the laws of the land don't really apply
- 5:47Speaker 2: the same, but there are some laws that apply, Like
- 5:49Speaker 2: you can't you can't just go out within that distance
- 5:52Speaker 2: and start to dig an oil well and things like that.
- 5:55Speaker 2: So there are some laws that apply, just less laws.
- 5:58Speaker 2: And then when you go out further then the although
- 6:03Speaker 2: maybe some laws don't apply, like you know, civilian criminal
- 6:06Speaker 2: laws don't apply, but there are still laws that apply
- 6:09Speaker 2: that protect the country, you know, to secure the oil,
- 6:12Speaker 2: secure the water and things like that, and not produce
- 6:15Speaker 2: waste and things like that. So it's not just if
- 6:17Speaker 2: you're out in the ocean you can do whatever you want.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Well, it sounds like it. Once you get past twenty
- 6:20Speaker 1: four miles, you can just be a pirate pretty.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Much because then so if crime occurs with beyond the
- 6:25Speaker 2: twenty four miles that we're talking about, then it goes
- 6:28Speaker 2: to that port or the flag state as I read,
- 6:32Speaker 2: it goes to that port. But also the country nearest
- 6:35Speaker 2: can choose or like if there's a US person, like
- 6:38Speaker 2: was Amy Bradley a US citizen? Yes, so the US
- 6:40Speaker 2: can choose to go in and investigate for its own people. Okay,
- 6:45Speaker 2: So it's a little complicated and there's a lot of layers,
- 6:48Speaker 2: which causes a lot of issues because then the US
- 6:50Speaker 2: might say, do we really want to spend all our
- 6:52Speaker 2: resources and go and try to find this person. Maybe
- 6:54Speaker 2: the Bohemian you know, jurisdiction doesn't want the US, so
- 6:59Speaker 2: they kind of maybe put protections in there to try
- 7:01Speaker 2: to prevent it because maybe they don't want Bahamas to
- 7:03Speaker 2: get a bad wrap with the cruise lines.
- 7:07Speaker 1: So basically it's complicated. It's complicated jurisdiction when you're on
- 7:10Speaker 1: a cruise ship.
- 7:11Speaker 2: Yes, all right, so during the early month in favor
- 7:14Speaker 2: of the cruise line.
- 7:15Speaker 1: It's always in favor of the cruise line. Yes, that's
- 7:17Speaker 1: another thing. You got to look at the back of
- 7:19Speaker 1: the ticket, you got to read the fine print.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Well, that's not going to do you any.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Good that you can decide whether you want to get
- 7:24Speaker 1: on or not.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Yeah, well you're probably not gonna want to get on
- 7:26Speaker 2: if you read the back of the ticket.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Probably not so during the early morning hours. This is Tuesday,
- 7:40Speaker 1: March twenty fourth, nineteen ninety eight. Amy Lenn Bradley went
- 7:43Speaker 1: missing as the ship was arriving right into port in Cursau.
- 7:47Speaker 1: The FBI is offering a reward of up to twenty
- 7:50Speaker 1: five thousand for information leading to her recovery. All right,
- 7:54Speaker 1: that is just a brief synopsis that's on the FBI's website.
- 7:56Speaker 1: It's clearly an open case. But I wanted to do
- 7:59Speaker 1: a timeline and break it down and go into detail
- 8:02Speaker 1: as to because there was a very very small window
- 8:05Speaker 1: of time in which she disappeared, and I am very
- 8:08Speaker 1: confused by that small window of time. And I think
- 8:10Speaker 1: that's why this case is so compelling and why people
- 8:14Speaker 1: are so invested in it, is because everyone online is
- 8:18Speaker 1: trying to figure out what happened within that very small
- 8:22Speaker 1: window of time. And it actually I think the story
- 8:25Speaker 1: is so interesting and it invokes so much conversation. It
- 8:28Speaker 1: also reminds me of Karen Reid because there's a very
- 8:31Speaker 1: small amount of time.
- 8:33Speaker 2: That took place where you something.
- 8:35Speaker 1: So he died. There's a murder or something, but you
- 8:39Speaker 1: don't know exactly what it is. And I this case
- 8:42Speaker 1: is so interesting and compelling because honestly, at the end
- 8:45Speaker 1: of the day, I don't know if we will ever
- 8:47Speaker 1: know what actually happened to her. And I think that's
- 8:50Speaker 1: why it's so interesting.
- 8:53Speaker 2: Case.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Yes, breaking news, We're going to solve the Amy Bradley
- 8:57Speaker 1: case by the end of that.
- 8:58Speaker 2: She'll be a guest later on this. No. Really, My
- 9:01Speaker 2: question is, first, give me an overview, like how many
- 9:05Speaker 2: days was she out there? Who was she with? Okay,
- 9:08Speaker 2: some of those bases so we can get a picture.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Okay, So the Bradley family, and it's important to know
- 9:13Speaker 1: all the characters in this family. It's a mom is Iva,
- 9:15Speaker 1: Ron is the dad. Amy and brad are sisters and
- 9:18Speaker 1: brothers our sister and brother. They depart San Juan, Puerto
- 9:21Speaker 1: Rico aboard the Royal Caribbean's Rhapsody of the Seas. It
- 9:23Speaker 1: is a seven day Caribbean cruise. First of all, this
- 9:26Speaker 1: is very important and I feel like it kind of
- 9:28Speaker 1: got glossed over in the Netflix documentary but all four
- 9:32Speaker 1: of them are sharing one room on a cruise ship.
- 9:34Speaker 1: And you've been on a cruise.
- 9:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think that's I'm guessing that's not uncommon.
- 9:37Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's common or uncomming. I'm saying I
- 9:39Speaker 1: think it's very important when we get into the details
- 9:42Speaker 1: of what happened. Yes, but I want you've been on
- 9:44Speaker 1: a cruise. We've been on a cruise. We went last summer,
- 9:47Speaker 1: and it was you and me and the boys were
- 9:49Speaker 1: all in a room. And that room is tiny. Right,
- 9:53Speaker 1: for four people to sleep in a room on a
- 9:55Speaker 1: cruise ship, it is very very small. And well, we
- 10:00Speaker 1: will get to that because I think that's an important
- 10:01Speaker 1: factor to remember as we go through this timeline. Amy
- 10:05Speaker 1: is twenty three years old. She recently graduated from college,
- 10:08Speaker 1: and she's looking forward to living in a new apartment.
- 10:11Speaker 1: She also got a new puppy, and she's starting a
- 10:13Speaker 1: new job as a computer consultant when she comes back
- 10:16Speaker 1: from this cruise. I think these are all important details too,
- 10:19Speaker 1: because a lot of people like to speculate that she
- 10:21Speaker 1: committed suicide that day, So.
- 10:23Speaker 2: I'm trying to say she had she had some things
- 10:26Speaker 2: to look forward to. You right, yeahs developing a career.
- 10:30Speaker 1: So on Tuesday, March twenty fourth, around one am, there
- 10:34Speaker 1: is a crew member named Alistair Douglas who goes by
- 10:37Speaker 1: the nickname Yellow and that's because his hair is like
- 10:40Speaker 1: yellow yellow. He claims he left the ship disco party
- 10:45Speaker 1: after dancing with Amy. Now there's key card data. The
- 10:49Speaker 1: key card is interesting too, because the data on a
- 10:52Speaker 1: cruise ship with a key card only gives you the
- 10:54Speaker 1: data when someone.
- 10:56Speaker 2: Unlocks the door.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Town un talks the door to enter, but you cannot
- 10:58Speaker 1: get any data as to win.
- 11:00Speaker 2: A door need the car to exit, right.
- 11:03Speaker 1: So there's key card data to prove his entry at
- 11:05Speaker 1: this time. So there's key card data that shows that
- 11:09Speaker 1: he left the disco party where he's seen dancing with Amy,
- 11:13Speaker 1: and he actually goes back to his room at some point.
- 11:16Speaker 1: The cabin door system can only record when a person
- 11:18Speaker 1: enters the room with their key card, but cannot identify
- 11:21Speaker 1: when they acit.
- 11:22Speaker 2: Multiple people can enter with one key card, so he
- 11:25Speaker 2: could get a buddy or something. I'm just saying it
- 11:27Speaker 2: doesn't it doesn't take role of who entered. And also
- 11:31Speaker 2: the key card.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Was used, right, And this is the nineteen This is
- 11:35Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight. So I don't know if now, because
- 11:38Speaker 1: you know, when you take a cruise now, everybody gets
- 11:40Speaker 1: their own key card, even if you're a kid, and
- 11:42Speaker 1: you have to carry it all the time. You have
- 11:44Speaker 1: to use it to purchase anything, you have to use
- 11:45Speaker 1: it to get and out of the room. But the
- 11:47Speaker 1: thing is, like I remember when we were on the cruise,
- 11:49Speaker 1: like sometimes I would use your card to get into
- 11:51Speaker 1: the room and sometimes, So I don't even know if
- 11:53Speaker 1: it's that specific.
- 11:54Speaker 2: Now to it was literally just unlocked, right.
- 11:58Speaker 1: So Brad Amy's there was also at the disco party,
- 12:01Speaker 1: but left shortly before his sister at three thirty five am,
- 12:05Speaker 1: So this is registered in the room. Brad used his
- 12:07Speaker 1: key card to enter the family suite. Five minutes later,
- 12:10Speaker 1: at three forty am, Amy returns from the disco where
- 12:13Speaker 1: she's been dancing with this guy. And also, by the way,
- 12:16Speaker 1: the guy Alistair Douglas. He works for the ship. He
- 12:19Speaker 1: is a bass player in the band. I believe the
- 12:21Speaker 1: band's name is Blue Orchid and they're playing live music
- 12:25Speaker 1: and they're flirting. So this guy is a crew member.
- 12:28Speaker 2: And do we know that we know the key cards
- 12:30Speaker 2: are used, do we know that it's the actual people
- 12:32Speaker 2: using it well, or it's assumed.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Well, Amy returns to the room and it's recorded in
- 12:38Speaker 1: the cabin door system. So then Brad and Amy are
- 12:41Speaker 1: hanging out on the balcony in their room. They're sitting
- 12:45Speaker 1: out there together. Okay, she had had some light beers.
- 12:47Speaker 1: I think it said like she had said that she
- 12:49Speaker 1: had seven light beers while she was at this disco.
- 12:52Speaker 1: But apparently the beer consumption was over a long period
- 12:56Speaker 1: of time, so it wasn't like she sat at that
- 12:58Speaker 1: disco and drink seven beers one time. So at three
- 13:01Speaker 1: forty am, Amy returns to the cabin and.
- 13:05Speaker 2: That's I'm asleep by that.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Well yeah, well you and I go I want that
- 13:09Speaker 1: at nine. So three forty am is.
- 13:11Speaker 2: Like, that's like if we were we would have heard nothing.
- 13:14Speaker 1: No, not right, they would ask me. I'd be like
- 13:16Speaker 1: Amy Bradley, who I don't know. Yeah, no disco parties
- 13:20Speaker 1: for me. So Brad and Amy hang out on the
- 13:23Speaker 1: cabin's private balcony and then so they're sitting out there.
- 13:27Speaker 1: He I saw a podcast with him. He talks about
- 13:29Speaker 1: how they were just sitting out there talking, chit chatting,
- 13:32Speaker 1: and then he decides to go to bed. So he
- 13:35Speaker 1: goes back into the cabin and he goes asleep. Now
- 13:38Speaker 1: we have to remember his mom and dad are in
- 13:40Speaker 1: the cabin and they're asleep in one bed.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Okay.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Then he and Amy have like some pullout, rollout kind
- 13:46Speaker 1: of caught things that remember we had.
- 13:48Speaker 2: To do when we were like makeshift. Yeah.
- 13:51Speaker 1: So now we've got Amy on the balcony, We've got
- 13:55Speaker 1: the mom and the dad asleep in the bed right,
- 13:58Speaker 1: and then we've got the brother that comes in from
- 13:59Speaker 1: the balcony and goes to sleep on the cot. This
- 14:02Speaker 1: is a three forty. Between five fifteen am and five
- 14:05Speaker 1: thirty am, Ron Bradley, who is Amy's dad, He awakens
- 14:09Speaker 1: and he sees Amy sleeping on the balcony chair, only
- 14:13Speaker 1: her legs were visible, and then he dozes off again.
- 14:15Speaker 1: So he wakes up. He sees brad asleep, his wife's
- 14:18Speaker 1: asleep next to him. He looks out the balcony door,
- 14:21Speaker 1: he sees Amy's sitting on the balcony. He can see
- 14:23Speaker 1: her legs, and then he goes back to sleep. This
- 14:26Speaker 1: is a five.
- 14:26Speaker 2: I'm sorry, this is the father.
- 14:28Speaker 1: This is the father because this whole family, all four
- 14:30Speaker 1: of them are in one little round.
- 14:31Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not saying he's guilty by any stretch,
- 14:32Speaker 2: but this is little odd to see your kid asleep
- 14:34Speaker 2: on a balcony and not think I'll let me bring
- 14:36Speaker 2: her in and put her in their bed.
- 14:38Speaker 1: Well, she's twenty three. Though.
- 14:39Speaker 2: I know, I'm not saying he's guilty, but I'm just saying, like,
- 14:42Speaker 2: first mistake, first mistake, first mistake. Don't sleep on a
- 14:45Speaker 2: balcony on a cruise ship when you're on a cruise ship,
- 14:48Speaker 2: ye in international waters for family after without reading the
- 14:51Speaker 2: passenger ticket with seven.
- 14:53Speaker 1: Beers in your systems. Yeah, not good. So he wakes up.
- 14:57Speaker 1: This is around five fifteen, five thirty am. He looks out,
- 15:00Speaker 1: he sees her legs, He dozes back off. Between five
- 15:04Speaker 1: thirty and five forty am. There are three other passengers
- 15:08Speaker 1: on the ship that reported seeing Amy on an upper
- 15:13Speaker 1: deck of the ship with yellow So that's the bass
- 15:16Speaker 1: player I told you about.
- 15:17Speaker 2: Did they Where did they see her from?
- 15:19Speaker 1: They were sitting up on an open deck.
- 15:21Speaker 2: From another okay, So from from outside the boat somewhere.
- 15:25Speaker 1: Yeah, like I think like a pool area, okay. And
- 15:28Speaker 1: they claim and this was in the documentary in an interview.
- 15:31Speaker 1: They claim that they see Amy and Yellow walking to
- 15:35Speaker 1: an elevator. You know how the elevators are glass, Yeah,
- 15:38Speaker 1: and that they see them get onto like a glass
- 15:40Speaker 1: elevator together and they see them go up together, and
- 15:43Speaker 1: that she has a drink and it looks like there's
- 15:44Speaker 1: a dark liquid. So this is so we've got Amy
- 15:49Speaker 1: out on a balcony, as her dad says, between five
- 15:52Speaker 1: am and five fifteen. Then you've got these other passengers
- 15:55Speaker 1: that claim they saw her with Yellow around five thirty am. Okay,
- 16:00Speaker 1: assuming that, but they can't they can't exactly say that
- 16:05Speaker 1: was the time. They just think that that was possibly
- 16:07Speaker 1: at the time. So then between so then at six am,
- 16:11Speaker 1: the dad wakes up again and he looks out on
- 16:13Speaker 1: the balcony and Amy's not there.
- 16:15Speaker 2: She's gone, Okay, which would make sense based on the
- 16:18Speaker 2: other testimony that she was in an elevator.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Okay, So the dad he wakes up, he looks out
- 16:22Speaker 1: there at six am, she's gone. But the door was
- 16:26Speaker 1: slightly a jar, so the balcony door was left open.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Her cigarettes and lighter were missing, but her shoes and
- 16:34Speaker 1: she had like a polo shirt over a tank top
- 16:36Speaker 1: and her polo shirt was left behind like she had
- 16:39Speaker 1: taken it off and left it, and then her shoes
- 16:42Speaker 1: were like neatly pushed on the balcony. And the little
- 16:45Speaker 1: table on the.
- 16:46Speaker 2: Balcony was witnessed by who this is?
- 16:48Speaker 1: This is the daddy wakes up yet, so the father
- 16:51Speaker 1: he wakes up. Yes, he looks out on the balcony.
- 16:54Speaker 1: She's not there. So all on this table on the
- 16:57Speaker 1: balcony is her shoes, her her cigarettes and a lighter,
- 17:02Speaker 1: and her wallet, and they're all left behind.
- 17:05Speaker 2: This is official. This is all left behind as you
- 17:08Speaker 2: just described.
- 17:09Speaker 1: So then around six thirty, I guess the dad gets
- 17:12Speaker 1: up to go look for her, because he looks out
- 17:14Speaker 1: on the balcony. She's not there, but her stuff's out there.
- 17:16Speaker 1: So he goes up and he goes to look for her.
- 17:18Speaker 1: He looks on the ship. I'm sure he goes to
- 17:20Speaker 1: all the usual places you would look for someone on
- 17:21Speaker 1: a ship where she I don't know, getting breakfast, and
- 17:24Speaker 1: she up by the pool is she's sitting out somewhere.
- 17:26Speaker 2: She in the elevator.
- 17:27Speaker 1: She in the elevator with yellow whatever. Around six thirty
- 17:30Speaker 1: am Ron, he comes back to the room and he
- 17:32Speaker 1: wakes up. I have the mom and Brad and inform
- 17:35Speaker 1: them that Amy was missing. The family then goes to
- 17:38Speaker 1: the Royal Caribbean crew and asks them to delay disembarkment
- 17:42Speaker 1: because at this time they've either pulled into Cursal and
- 17:45Speaker 1: they're stopped or they're just now stopping.
- 17:49Speaker 2: So they go and.
- 17:50Speaker 1: Say, look, our daughter's missing. We can't find her anywhere.
- 17:52Speaker 1: Can he please not let anyone disembark off the ship.
- 17:55Speaker 1: But here's one more thing I want to talk about
- 17:57Speaker 1: before we go on with this timeline a little bit more.
- 18:00Speaker 1: I cannot, for the life of me, understand how that
- 18:05Speaker 1: small room with three people sleeping in it, if she's
- 18:09Speaker 1: on the balcony and then she comes back into the
- 18:12Speaker 1: room and she leaves through that door.
- 18:15Speaker 2: Why did anyone wake up?
- 18:17Speaker 1: How did.
- 18:19Speaker 2: The disco techa disco teca it's called a few drinks
- 18:25Speaker 2: and they're crushed.
- 18:26Speaker 1: But that door is so loud it makes like a
- 18:30Speaker 1: loud metal clicking.
- 18:32Speaker 2: You're saying she jumped.
- 18:33Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm saying. I'm just saying there,
- 18:36Speaker 1: I don't know what. I really don't know.
- 18:38Speaker 2: Next cruise, Yes, I'm gonna sneak out at five in
- 18:42Speaker 2: the morning and see if you wake up.
- 18:43Speaker 1: I will as soon as I hear that door, I'm
- 18:45Speaker 1: gonna be like, where are you going? Are you getting
- 18:48Speaker 1: breakfast without me?
- 18:51Speaker 2: Why is your walley here? Why are.
- 18:54Speaker 1: Also we have to talk about this because the shoes
- 19:00Speaker 1: were Let's assume that she did go out the door
- 19:02Speaker 1: and nobody heard it for some reason, they were just
- 19:04Speaker 1: so soundly asleep in this little tiny room that they
- 19:07Speaker 1: did that they didn't hear her go out the door.
- 19:10Speaker 1: She didn't take her shoes right, and she didn't take
- 19:13Speaker 1: her cigarettes and her lighter, and she didn't take her wallet.
- 19:16Speaker 1: So if she did leave.
- 19:18Speaker 2: Did that means she didn't take her key card either?
- 19:21Speaker 1: That's my question. Did she not take the key card
- 19:24Speaker 1: with her? Is the key card in her wallet?
- 19:27Speaker 2: I want to know that.
- 19:28Speaker 1: Oh, not that I've seen anywhere. I want to know
- 19:30Speaker 1: because I think that's a If the key card was
- 19:33Speaker 1: left in the wallet, then maybe she did go overboard.
- 19:40Speaker 1: But if the key card was not in her wallet
- 19:43Speaker 1: and it was on her person, then I would assume
- 19:46Speaker 1: that she did leave the room and that she was
- 19:48Speaker 1: going to meet someone. And also you have to assume
- 19:50Speaker 1: if she was going to meet someone, she was going
- 19:52Speaker 1: to meet them briefly, because she doesn't have any shoes
- 19:53Speaker 1: and she does no wallet.
- 19:54Speaker 2: Taking taking the key card or not taking card is
- 19:57Speaker 2: not conclusive. But it certainly well you could.
- 19:59Speaker 1: Have forgot I forget it all the time.
- 20:01Speaker 2: Oh yeah, But I mean it certainly does lead to
- 20:03Speaker 2: something like if she took it, that's different than not
- 20:06Speaker 2: taking it as far as like what could have happened, right, Because.
- 20:08Speaker 1: I'm saying if her key cards left behind and she
- 20:10Speaker 1: did not take it with her, then there is the
- 20:12Speaker 1: possibility that possibly she went over the edge somehow. But
- 20:15Speaker 1: if she took the key card and the key card
- 20:17Speaker 1: is not in her wallet or on her person, I
- 20:20Speaker 1: don't know anyway. That was just something to think about.
- 20:23Speaker 1: So at seven fifty am, the first public ship wide
- 20:25Speaker 1: announcement was made. First of all, we have to say,
- 20:27Speaker 1: first of all, I do remember from the documentary that
- 20:31Speaker 1: Royal Caribbean refused to.
- 20:32Speaker 2: Okay, breaking news, breaking news. I just searched the answer.
- 20:36Speaker 1: What.
- 20:38Speaker 2: Yes, Amy Lynn Bradley's key card was reportedly left behind
- 20:41Speaker 2: in her cabin when she disappeared. See now now you
- 20:46Speaker 2: have more questions.
- 20:47Speaker 1: Now I have more questions. Yeah, yeah, because.
- 20:51Speaker 2: If she went soaes she when the family woke up
- 20:54Speaker 2: at six am, Amy was no longer in the cabin.
- 20:56Speaker 2: Her key card, her shoes, her cigarettes, her lighters were
- 20:59Speaker 2: all left behind.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Okay, See now that lends to if you're going to
- 21:03Speaker 1: draw a column and you're gonna say went overboard or
- 21:06Speaker 1: was abducted, that goes into the went overboard category.
- 21:12Speaker 2: Yeah, because if.
- 21:13Speaker 1: She left through the door, she didn't have shoes and
- 21:16Speaker 1: shouldn't have a wall, and she didn't have a key card.
- 21:18Speaker 2: Like, yeah, like what do you do with Yeah, like
- 21:22Speaker 2: what what person in a normal sense, what person leaves
- 21:26Speaker 2: their cabin on a cruise line without any of their things? Right,
- 21:28Speaker 2: even if you're going to the pool, you would take
- 21:30Speaker 2: a key card or something. It was six in the morning.
- 21:32Speaker 1: But all right, so I do know. The family immediately
- 21:37Speaker 1: goes to Royal Caribbean and they ask them to not
- 21:41Speaker 1: let anyone disembark and to also make an announcement. They
- 21:44Speaker 1: would not make an announcement because they said they didn't
- 21:46Speaker 1: want to because this is like several hours seven am.
- 21:49Speaker 1: They don't want to make an announcement at seven am
- 21:50Speaker 1: because they don't want to startle passengers.
- 21:52Speaker 2: They don't want to wait passengers. Yeah, Heaven forbid. The
- 21:56Speaker 2: people need their sleep. Yeah, it's ridiculous. I mean the
- 22:01Speaker 2: captain doesn't want want people to sleep in. I mean,
- 22:04Speaker 2: what's up with that?
- 22:05Speaker 1: Okay? Also, I feel like this is a good point
- 22:08Speaker 1: to I watched the documentary shand It and obviously, however,
- 22:13Speaker 1: they interview the cruise director from the Rhapsody of the
- 22:17Speaker 1: Season nineteen ninety eight. I forget his name. What was
- 22:19Speaker 1: his name, Kirk or something?
- 22:20Speaker 2: Kirk Kirk, Jerk Kirk, the cruise coordinator.
- 22:26Speaker 1: He I he should have been banned from doing any
- 22:31Speaker 1: interviews on behalf of the man had no warmth, no sympathy.
- 22:38Speaker 1: I mean it was almost it was I have never
- 22:41Speaker 1: in my life. He needed some media training.
- 22:43Speaker 2: He needed some was this interview back then?
- 22:45Speaker 1: No, this is a current day interview. Prepare he said
- 22:49Speaker 1: twenty seven years to get some sympathy or to do
- 22:52Speaker 1: some media training. They interview him for this documentary. I
- 22:56Speaker 1: have never I am not a person. Look, I'm a
- 22:59Speaker 1: public figure. I can't stand it when people come on
- 23:01Speaker 1: my page and say things. But I tell you, I've
- 23:03Speaker 1: never been so compelled on Instagram.
- 23:08Speaker 2: If there's a time to do it, this cruise director, you.
- 23:10Speaker 3: Guys have all this hate in your heart, please stop
- 23:13Speaker 3: directing it at me.
- 23:14Speaker 1: Please find the cruise director from nineteen ninety eight on
- 23:17Speaker 1: the Rhapsody of the Seas and please go direct with it.
- 23:21Speaker 1: He is the true villain. Every statement he makes is like, well,
- 23:25Speaker 1: we got a cruise to run. You know, they paid
- 23:28Speaker 1: a lot of money and.
- 23:29Speaker 2: It's all business.
- 23:30Speaker 1: It's all business. He has no sympathy for this family.
- 23:33Speaker 1: He's like, well, she just went overboard. Life goes on.
- 23:35Speaker 2: That's your first suspect, right, the guy that can care
- 23:39Speaker 2: less where she is.
- 23:40Speaker 1: I mean, this guy has I mean I just wanted
- 23:43Speaker 1: to him through the television. I was like, just just
- 23:47Speaker 1: say what says one thing? Kind nothing?
- 23:51Speaker 2: Okay.
- 24:01Speaker 1: So seven fifty am the first public ship wide announcement
- 24:04Speaker 1: was made. And this was not alerting nine am, No,
- 24:07Speaker 1: seven fifty am. Two hours so seven to fifty am.
- 24:11Speaker 1: But all they would do was ask Amy Bradley to
- 24:15Speaker 1: come to the purser's office.
- 24:17Speaker 2: They would not alert Yeah, Amy Bradley, please take off
- 24:20Speaker 2: your handcuffs and untie yourselves and come to the front office, right.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Please stop being abducted. Yeah, So at seven fifty am
- 24:29Speaker 1: they do make an announcement, but they basically are just
- 24:32Speaker 1: saying please come to the purfoser's office. So they're not.
- 24:35Speaker 1: So here's the problem. And this is where I know
- 24:38Speaker 1: the family had the biggest issue. And I think this
- 24:39Speaker 1: is where this is the timeframe where maybe there could
- 24:43Speaker 1: have been a different circumstance in what happened. Because you
- 24:45Speaker 1: have a very limited time because the cruise ship is
- 24:47Speaker 1: pulling into curR Asum, people are disembarking. If at that
- 24:51Speaker 1: time period they would have made an announcement at seven
- 24:54Speaker 1: am before everyone got off, that said Amy Bradley has
- 24:57Speaker 1: not been seen. She is missing. If any no one
- 25:00Speaker 1: sees her, please be on the lookout for her. We're
- 25:02Speaker 1: putting up photos of well, for example.
- 25:04Speaker 2: Those people that saw her and yellow in the elevator,
- 25:07Speaker 2: they might have came forward quicker exactly, might have remembered.
- 25:10Speaker 1: Yeah, but at that time when everyone is disembarking this ship,
- 25:14Speaker 1: when they pull into curas Out, they don't know she's missing,
- 25:18Speaker 1: and they they don't know what's going on.
- 25:20Speaker 2: They don't know for so and so to come to
- 25:24Speaker 2: the front office. I would never not once think for anything, no.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Absolutely so, no one has any idea what's going on.
- 25:31Speaker 1: So basically during that time period, if Royal Caribbean would
- 25:34Speaker 1: have had a different policy possibly and alerted the crew
- 25:38Speaker 1: as well as the passengers that there is a girl missing.
- 25:42Speaker 1: And then here's it's nineteen ninety eight. So they don't
- 25:44Speaker 1: have like, they don't have the digital like we do
- 25:46Speaker 1: now where they can show things on the TV.
- 25:49Speaker 2: Sure, sure, So I don't know how.
- 25:50Speaker 1: They could disseminate like what she looks like, but they
- 25:52Speaker 1: could have I don't know, hung pictures of her up
- 25:54Speaker 1: or something, or I don't know, just be on the
- 25:56Speaker 1: lookout for this girl. I don't know how they would
- 26:00Speaker 1: get her image out there, but at least passengers would
- 26:02Speaker 1: be aware of what's going on, and maybe more witnesses
- 26:06Speaker 1: would have been able to help or stop it or
- 26:09Speaker 1: come forward and they would have had more information at
- 26:11Speaker 1: that time. All right, So then at nine.
- 26:15Speaker 2: As okay, so hold on, so we're at seven to
- 26:18Speaker 2: fifty am.
- 26:18Speaker 1: Yeah, they make an announcement.
- 26:20Speaker 2: And that's it. Their cruise as it is it docked. Yes,
- 26:24Speaker 2: has anyone left yet?
- 26:26Speaker 1: When it gets the time, they're just embarking. Now they're going,
- 26:29Speaker 1: people are leaving.
- 26:30Speaker 2: This they are oh wow, well geez, well I would
- 26:34Speaker 2: be standing on that port and watching everyone come out.
- 26:37Speaker 2: I guess if it was my daughter missing.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Well I think that's I mean, I mean.
- 26:41Speaker 2: That's something to do. I mean, I don't know. I well,
- 26:43Speaker 2: maybe i'd be irrational and they're hysterical. Yeah, that's what
- 26:46Speaker 2: I'm saying. I get that. So maybe so right now,
- 26:48Speaker 2: sitting here in this chair, you're telling me that's what
- 26:52Speaker 2: I think should be done. At the least, I mean,
- 26:54Speaker 2: what am I gonna do? Walk up and down the hallways.
- 26:55Speaker 2: I'm going to go and you know at the bottleneck where.
- 26:58Speaker 1: You also have to think that you're up on a cirt. No,
- 27:01Speaker 1: but you're up on a deck talking to officials saying,
- 27:04Speaker 1: please make an announcement while people are just off this ship.
- 27:07Speaker 2: At this I mean, it's like huge, that's where the
- 27:09Speaker 2: cruise line screwed up. And I know we shouldn't be
- 27:12Speaker 2: laughing at this, but we're laughing at the people that
- 27:13Speaker 2: just really took this way too lightly. Where you know,
- 27:16Speaker 2: it's it's disapproval of their of their uh lack of
- 27:21Speaker 2: care for a missing individual.
- 27:23Speaker 1: So then at nine am, the crew conducted what's called
- 27:26Speaker 1: a full on board search, and no sign of Amy
- 27:29Speaker 1: was found. This search the way I understood it was.
- 27:31Speaker 1: It's like a nook and cranny search, Like the entire
- 27:34Speaker 1: crew is involved, and they go into every room, they open,
- 27:36Speaker 1: every door, they open all.
- 27:37Speaker 2: Now that everyone's gone, well she she hasn't.
- 27:40Speaker 1: Been seen since six am and now.
- 27:42Speaker 2: It's everyone got off the ship.
- 27:44Speaker 1: So there's a three hour timeframe where she could have disembarked.
- 27:48Speaker 1: She could have been taken off this ship. Absolutely, I
- 27:51Speaker 1: don't know. But there's a three hour window where we
- 27:53Speaker 1: don't know what happened.
- 27:54Speaker 2: And you know, so that's a long time.
- 27:59Speaker 1: Yeah. So March twenty fourth through the twenty seventh, the
- 28:02Speaker 1: FBI and the Netherlands Antillis on Antilli's ghost guard carried
- 28:07Speaker 1: out a four day marine and aerial search. In the documentary,
- 28:11Speaker 1: the Courroussel officials because they become involved because that's where
- 28:15Speaker 1: that's the port we're at. Now we're in carousel. The
- 28:17Speaker 1: CURSL officials said that they expected Amy's body to turn
- 28:20Speaker 1: up in the seat if she had jumped or fallen,
- 28:24Speaker 1: but a body never shows up, and.
- 28:26Speaker 2: They based on currents and stuff like, it was reasonable
- 28:28Speaker 2: for them to think not. They were just hoping that
- 28:30Speaker 2: they believed that that would be the case.
- 28:32Speaker 1: Yeah, So they interviewed some an official from crosw that
- 28:36Speaker 1: was involved in the search.
- 28:37Speaker 2: I'm sorry, wors Curso it's.
- 28:39Speaker 1: A little island. Is it by a Ruba. It's like
- 28:41Speaker 1: a Ruba and Curroussew and a Aruba. And it's in
- 28:49Speaker 1: the Caribbean. Oh, Barbados is over there somewhere too, Barbados.
- 28:54Speaker 1: I actually, honestly, I have to say, because I'm not
- 28:56Speaker 1: good at geography. I admitted that on the when we
- 28:58Speaker 1: did the podcast on the idahomer and I didn't even
- 29:00Speaker 1: know Idaho, like Idaho was up there by Canada. No idea.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Well, that's why we do legally, not topography exactly.
- 29:11Speaker 1: I don't no, but I had never I have to
- 29:14Speaker 1: admit I'd never heard of the island of Curi.
- 29:17Speaker 2: Curis probably Portuguese cross.
- 29:20Speaker 1: Until this documentary anyway. So the currousel official says that
- 29:25Speaker 1: they did an intense search of the water and that
- 29:29Speaker 1: if she would have fallen overboard, that they would have
- 29:32Speaker 1: seen a body or a piece of clothing or something.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Something would have washed out based upon the wrap, how
- 29:36Speaker 1: the water, the current, the tide, all of that. So
- 29:40Speaker 1: he was convincing that there wasn't that.
- 29:43Speaker 2: Was more likely that she did not that she did
- 29:46Speaker 2: not know. Wa okay, all right, Now.
- 29:51Speaker 1: After she disappears, there's been sightings of her. Now, I
- 29:55Speaker 1: have to say, I think most people this also reminds
- 29:58Speaker 1: me of Karen Reid too, because most people when you
- 30:00Speaker 1: don't know, when you don't take a deep dive into
- 30:02Speaker 1: this case, the first thing that you think or say
- 30:05Speaker 1: when you take a cursory review of it is, oh,
- 30:07Speaker 1: she don't she went overboard.
- 30:08Speaker 2: Absolutely, she fell, she.
- 30:11Speaker 1: Went overboard. She right. That reminds me of Karen Reid,
- 30:16Speaker 1: because when you look, when you don't take a deep
- 30:19Speaker 1: dive into Karen Reid, your first thought is, of course
- 30:21Speaker 1: she was drunk.
- 30:22Speaker 2: Oh I know. And those people are so oblivious and
- 30:24Speaker 2: so ignorant. That was you to just think that you
- 30:28Speaker 2: should be open to the facts.
- 30:30Speaker 1: Well that was you in the beginning. But anyway, my
- 30:33Speaker 1: point was, if you don't take a deep dive into it,
- 30:36Speaker 1: the logical conclusion when you just look at a very
- 30:39Speaker 1: limited amount of facts is that, yeah, she was drong,
- 30:41Speaker 1: she hit them. I think this is the same with
- 30:43Speaker 1: Amy Bradley. If you don't take a really deep dive
- 30:46Speaker 1: into the case, it's like, okay, well, the logical conclusion
- 30:50Speaker 1: is she's on the balcony, she fell off or she jumped.
- 30:54Speaker 1: So there have been multiple sightings and leads since she disappeared.
- 31:02Speaker 1: So in March twenty fourth, nineteen ninety eight, this is
- 31:04Speaker 1: in Currosal. The morning of Amy's disappearance, there was a
- 31:07Speaker 1: taxi driver located near the cruise door.
- 31:10Speaker 2: The morning that within twenty four hours, the.
- 31:13Speaker 1: Morning that she disappears, he claims that a distressed young
- 31:18Speaker 1: woman matching Amy's description approached him frantically and asked where
- 31:23Speaker 1: the nearest phone was. Before she could continue, she was
- 31:27Speaker 1: intercepted by two men who led her away. He reported
- 31:31Speaker 1: this information later and did not act in real time.
- 31:34Speaker 1: Now I don't know exactly how much later he reported this,
- 31:36Speaker 1: but he did come forward and say that he saw
- 31:39Speaker 1: a woman asking for a phone. She looked distressed. Two
- 31:41Speaker 1: men came up and grabbed her and pulled her away.
- 31:45Speaker 1: He claims that it was her. Now, when I first
- 31:48Speaker 1: heard this first sighting and it was the taxi driver,
- 31:51Speaker 1: I didn't put a lot of weight into it when
- 31:53Speaker 1: I saw it because I thought maybe he saw the posters,
- 31:57Speaker 1: because they had posters up, you know. Offering twenty five
- 32:00Speaker 1: one thousand dollars reward or whatever, and I thought maybe
- 32:02Speaker 1: he was just like, Oh I saw her trying to
- 32:05Speaker 1: get a reward, so.
- 32:06Speaker 2: It was almost any planted in his head, yeah or not.
- 32:10Speaker 1: I didn't put a lot of weight into that sighting.
- 32:12Speaker 2: Let me guess until you went to Vegas went and
- 32:15Speaker 2: they were almost almost I.
- 32:17Speaker 1: Was almost abducted in Vegas.
- 32:19Speaker 2: See if you went missing that day? Yes, and thank
- 32:22Speaker 2: goodness you didn't.
- 32:23Speaker 1: Oh well, I'm glad you added that copasts.
- 32:26Speaker 2: Had you gone missing that day, yeah, that taxi driver
- 32:28Speaker 2: had have done the same thing, he said. Yeah, some
- 32:31Speaker 2: lady came up on a ride, then two men came
- 32:33Speaker 2: and took her away.
- 32:33Speaker 1: Well, also the differences if I would have gotten into
- 32:36Speaker 1: that car. There's cameras all over, and that's another problem
- 32:39Speaker 1: with a cruise ship in nineteen ninety eight is there's
- 32:43Speaker 1: not security cameras everywhere. There were only security cameras in
- 32:48Speaker 1: the big open areas like the like the pool and
- 32:51Speaker 1: things like that. They didn't have security cameras everywhere.
- 32:54Speaker 2: And this is monitoring that all the people in bathing suits. Yes, exactly,
- 32:59Speaker 2: the cameras. Where should we have three cameras? Where should
- 33:01Speaker 2: we play it? But yeah, exactly all right.
- 33:05Speaker 1: Then in August of nineteen ninety eight, this is on
- 33:08Speaker 1: Cursole Beach. You say, Cursso, how do you say it?
- 33:10Speaker 2: Curso?
- 33:11Speaker 1: Can you saying? Two Canadian tourists were scuba diving at
- 33:16Speaker 1: Plaia Porto Marie. They saw a woman with Amy's tattoos.
- 33:20Speaker 1: Now she has a Tasmanian devil and barbed wire tattoo.
- 33:25Speaker 3: Is right, nineteen ninety eight, like a barbed wire tattoo
- 33:29Speaker 3: and a Tasmanian devil tattoo. She looked distressed and seemed
- 33:34Speaker 3: unable to speak freely. They only learned later about Amy
- 33:39Speaker 3: being missing and reported it months after making this sighting.
- 33:42Speaker 3: Here was the issue too, was that they interviewed the
- 33:45Speaker 3: man that saw her. He was very credible.
- 33:47Speaker 1: I believed him. He was scuba diving, he has I
- 33:50Speaker 1: think he has background in like cybersecurity or something. He
- 33:53Speaker 1: was with a friend on the beach and he said
- 33:55Speaker 1: a woman walked by him on the beach, looked right
- 33:57Speaker 1: at him, looked like she wanted to say something to him,
- 33:59Speaker 1: and then two men came up and grabbed her and
- 34:01Speaker 1: kind of pulled her away.
- 34:02Speaker 2: Well, I'm sorry, when was this that? He claims to
- 34:04Speaker 2: have seen her.
- 34:05Speaker 1: This is in August of nineteen ninety eight, so this
- 34:08Speaker 1: is what three four months after she disappeared.
- 34:11Speaker 2: These two men can't keep ahold of her apparently, no.
- 34:13Speaker 1: I know, she keeps wandering off. They keep having the ground.
- 34:17Speaker 2: Why are people just like, uh, somebody asked for direction
- 34:19Speaker 2: and then two men came and took her away and
- 34:21Speaker 2: that's the end of it.
- 34:22Speaker 1: I don't know. He also claims that one of the
- 34:25Speaker 1: men that was with her looks like Alistair Douglas, the
- 34:29Speaker 1: guy named Yellow who was on the ship and was
- 34:32Speaker 1: part of the crew. So this is this is one
- 34:35Speaker 1: of the more credible leads. And I found this guy
- 34:37Speaker 1: when they interviewed him, I found him to be very,
- 34:39Speaker 1: very credible. He didn't come forward until I believe later,
- 34:43Speaker 1: was it a magazine or something He saw a photo
- 34:46Speaker 1: of her like Amy Bradley's missing, and then he was
- 34:48Speaker 1: like that's he put it together and he was like,
- 34:50Speaker 1: that's the girl I saw on the beach and then he,
- 34:52Speaker 1: you know, reached out to authorities. So that's a very
- 34:55Speaker 1: credible sighting of her on a beach in Currosal. Yeah,
- 35:00Speaker 1: in January of nineteen ninety nine, This is a brothel
- 35:03Speaker 1: in Currosow. A US Navy petty officer, William Hefner. He
- 35:08Speaker 1: claims that he saw a woman in a brothel and
- 35:10Speaker 1: she introduced herself as Amy Bradley and begged him for help,
- 35:14Speaker 1: saying she was being held against her will. The woman
- 35:17Speaker 1: was quickly pulled away by her two handlers. He waited
- 35:21Speaker 1: until figures he waited until two thousand and two to
- 35:27Speaker 1: report the incident due to fear of career consequences. This
- 35:31Speaker 1: is because he was he's in the Navy. He was
- 35:33Speaker 1: active duty in the Navy. They docked in Currosoal and
- 35:37Speaker 1: he's at a brothel where he's clearly not supposed to
- 35:40Speaker 1: be at a brothel. So he claims that he saw
- 35:42Speaker 1: Amy Bradley. She said, I'm Amy Bradley. I need help.
- 35:46Speaker 2: Not to be funny, but is brothel legal there?
- 35:48Speaker 1: Well, I don't know, but.
- 35:49Speaker 2: I just wondering if it's like organized or if it's
- 35:51Speaker 2: like totally like under wraps and it's then it's more shady.
- 35:55Speaker 1: Well, I would say in the Caribbean, like, I don't
- 35:57Speaker 1: know if anybody's really I think he just didn't want
- 35:59Speaker 1: to be in trouble with the military. Because he's a
- 36:02Speaker 1: navy he's in the navy, and he's not supposed to
- 36:04Speaker 1: be at a brothel drinking, all right, So he didn't
- 36:10Speaker 1: report the incident until two thousand and two, which is
- 36:13Speaker 1: like three years later. But that was another scenario where
- 36:16Speaker 1: I bet he waited until he was discharged or he
- 36:20Speaker 1: was whatever, he was out, and then he came forward
- 36:23Speaker 1: and said that he saw her. Oh, but the brothel
- 36:28Speaker 1: has since burned down. I was waiting, you see how
- 36:32Speaker 1: I pause and pause. Then in two thousand and five,
- 36:41Speaker 1: this was okay. So there was a website that has
- 36:46Speaker 1: sex workers on the website and someone under an anonymous
- 36:51Speaker 1: email emailed the family and showed a picture of Amy
- 36:56Speaker 1: Bradley on the website.
- 36:58Speaker 2: And if you look at the picture, do you compare
- 36:59Speaker 2: the picture I did?
- 37:01Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if you have, but I mean, we'll.
- 37:02Speaker 2: Pull social I've never seen anything.
- 37:04Speaker 1: So this is what she looks like when she disappeared.
- 37:07Speaker 1: And this is the picture of her on the website.
- 37:10Speaker 2: Now, if those pictures are correct, pictures like they're real,
- 37:14Speaker 2: that's her.
- 37:15Speaker 1: And the other interesting thing about the picture of her
- 37:18Speaker 1: on the sex website is she does have distinguishing tattoos.
- 37:23Speaker 1: We talked about it. She has the she has the
- 37:25Speaker 1: barb wire tattoo, she has a Tasmanian devil tattoos. She
- 37:27Speaker 1: also has a butterfly tattoo, and I think another one.
- 37:30Speaker 1: I think there's a fourth tattoo.
- 37:32Speaker 2: When was this second picture taken?
- 37:34Speaker 1: This one? This is too well, the picture came to
- 37:36Speaker 1: the family in two thousand and five.
- 37:38Speaker 2: Five, so seven years later.
- 37:40Speaker 1: So this is the first picture is on the cruise ship.
- 37:42Speaker 1: That's nineteen ninety eight. The second picture on her of
- 37:45Speaker 1: her on this website is two thousand and five. Well,
- 37:48Speaker 1: I don't know when it was taken, but it was sent.
- 37:50Speaker 2: Well, she had significantly longer hair. I was just wondering
- 37:52Speaker 2: how far apart they were.
- 37:53Speaker 1: But the thing about the picture on the sex website
- 37:57Speaker 1: is that none of her tattoos are shown, even though
- 38:00Speaker 1: she has four. And she also has very distinguishing birthmarks,
- 38:03Speaker 1: and she's positioned in a way where you can't see
- 38:06Speaker 1: any of those.
- 38:07Speaker 2: You know, I wonder if did you did they ever
- 38:09Speaker 2: show the actual website or a snapshot of the website,
- 38:12Speaker 2: or just that individual photo.
- 38:14Speaker 1: They showed, and then in the documentary they only show
- 38:17Speaker 1: her photo. They they don't show the website. But the
- 38:21Speaker 1: FBI did get involved in that sighting. They sent someone
- 38:26Speaker 1: down to investigate, and they also did whatever the FBI
- 38:30Speaker 1: does on the analytics on the photo to make sure
- 38:32Speaker 1: it wasn't photoshops.
- 38:35Speaker 2: And they did that don't grow. Despite your growth. Basically
- 38:40Speaker 2: between the nose and the eyes and cheekbones and stuff,
- 38:42Speaker 2: they don't change.
- 38:44Speaker 1: They couldn't one percent confirm her identity, but they said
- 38:48Speaker 1: that it could definitely be her. I don't know when
- 38:50Speaker 1: I looked like it looks like the same person.
- 38:53Speaker 2: I mean it is the same person.
- 38:55Speaker 1: And knows the way the mouth has shaped, the eyes,
- 38:57Speaker 1: the eyebrows, everything looks identical.
- 39:00Speaker 2: In other words, her face is the same. Yes, her
- 39:02Speaker 2: base photos.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Is the same. Yes. Then there was another sighting in
- 39:07Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. This is in Barbados. This was
- 39:11Speaker 1: a witness. Her name was Judy Mower. She was an
- 39:13Speaker 1: American tourist. She's also in the documentary. She claims that
- 39:17Speaker 1: she was in a department store restroom and she encountered
- 39:19Speaker 1: a distressed woman accompanied by three men. See they have
- 39:22Speaker 1: upsecurity on her. They were like two clearly too not enough.
- 39:25Speaker 1: She keeps getting away.
- 39:26Speaker 2: It's a growing enterprise.
- 39:28Speaker 1: Yes, it's getting larger from the stall this woman, Judy
- 39:32Speaker 1: heard a woman mentioned children, and the men referenced a
- 39:36Speaker 1: client in an appointment and that she was forced to attend.
- 39:40Speaker 1: When the men briefly left the restroom, Judy asked the
- 39:42Speaker 1: woman about herself, learning that her name was Amy and
- 39:46Speaker 1: that she was originally from Virginia.
- 39:48Speaker 2: And that's correct, She's from Virginia.
- 39:50Speaker 1: Yes. Judy was unable to act because the woman who
- 39:53Speaker 1: allegedly was Amy was rushed out by the men too quickly.
- 39:57Speaker 1: Judy claims she was not previously aware of Amy's case
- 40:00Speaker 1: and only realized the significance of this encounter when she
- 40:03Speaker 1: returned to the US and saw a television special. I
- 40:06Speaker 1: think this was the Doctor Phil show. She was watching
- 40:09Speaker 1: Doctor Phil and he did a story on the Amy
- 40:11Speaker 1: Bradley disappearance and they put her picture up, and then
- 40:15Speaker 1: Judy was like, and that's the woman I saw.
- 40:17Speaker 2: And supposed to show that assuming all these sightings are
- 40:21Speaker 2: accurate and his Amy Bradley, or even if it's not
- 40:22Speaker 2: Amy Bradley, they believe it to be Amy Brady. That
- 40:26Speaker 2: but for the widespread news, how many of these women
- 40:32Speaker 2: are abducted and it's not widespread news and they just
- 40:36Speaker 2: go missing tons.
- 40:38Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, and apparently a cruise ship isn't easy.
- 40:41Speaker 2: And doctor Phil if he didn't have them on this
- 40:45Speaker 2: lady would never reported it. I mean, how many other
- 40:48Speaker 2: times they are there like that? And then then earlier
- 40:51Speaker 2: when you're telling the story, I was thinking, why would
- 40:53Speaker 2: they go all, like go through the effort of going
- 40:54Speaker 2: on a cruise ship because they'd have to buy a
- 40:56Speaker 2: ticket and then abduct someone and this and that. But
- 40:59Speaker 2: it's because of there's no jurisdiction. It's just a missing
- 41:02Speaker 2: person and that's the end of the case. She could
- 41:04Speaker 2: have jumped off.
- 41:05Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, let me add one other fact
- 41:08Speaker 1: in there. So you know when they went, you know,
- 41:10Speaker 1: on a cruise ship, when you go to dinner and
- 41:12Speaker 1: you do the formal dinner and they take photos there
- 41:15Speaker 1: were they took photos of Amy and the family at
- 41:18Speaker 1: the dinner, and then when the family went to pick
- 41:20Speaker 1: up the photos, the photos of Amy were missing. No really, Yeah,
- 41:27Speaker 1: so that's another thing that you have to That's why
- 41:31Speaker 1: I tell you I need to make a column and
- 41:32Speaker 1: put overboard.
- 41:33Speaker 2: Okay, so why abducted? Why would why would they go missing?
- 41:37Speaker 2: Meaning like why if the abductors were getting rid of
- 41:41Speaker 2: these photos, what good did that do? I mean, we
- 41:43Speaker 2: knew she was a person.
- 41:44Speaker 1: Because here's my thought. Yellow and we'll get to this
- 41:48Speaker 1: a little bit later, but maybe we'll just talk about
- 41:50Speaker 1: it now. Yellow has a daughter and her name is
- 41:53Speaker 1: our Nika, Amika, not Arnica. Arnica is the medicine or
- 41:57Speaker 1: something right or Arnica I think anyway, Amika is the
- 42:02Speaker 1: daughter of Yellow, the guy who was talking to Amy,
- 42:05Speaker 1: the last person she was seen with. Amika came forward
- 42:09Speaker 1: and reached out to the Bradley family and had a
- 42:12Speaker 1: conversation with them about her dad. My thought when I
- 42:15Speaker 1: was watching it was she knew more than she was
- 42:17Speaker 1: letting on in the documentary. I felt as if she
- 42:21Speaker 1: knew that her dad was involved somehow, but she didn't
- 42:23Speaker 1: want to give up her dad, so she kept giving
- 42:25Speaker 1: her dad the opportunity to come clean. Because she actually
- 42:28Speaker 1: calls her dad while on camera being interviewed for this
- 42:31Speaker 1: documentary and asked him if he had anything to do
- 42:34Speaker 1: with it, and on the phone, she's got him on speakerphone.
- 42:38Speaker 1: He's like, I had nothing.
- 42:39Speaker 2: To do with it.
- 42:39Speaker 1: You know, I saw her. We danced. That was it.
- 42:41Speaker 1: That was the last thing. But the daughter claims that
- 42:44Speaker 1: she saw a suitcase that her dad had that had
- 42:48Speaker 1: photos of white women in it, like like a lot
- 42:50Speaker 1: of photos of all these different white women. So what
- 42:53Speaker 1: I was making, how's this girl at the time, Well,
- 42:57Speaker 1: she's in her twenties or something.
- 42:58Speaker 2: Okay, now she's an adult.
- 43:01Speaker 1: She was a child and Yellows daughter Yellow's daughter. And
- 43:06Speaker 1: when I thought when I saw when I heard her
- 43:08Speaker 1: say that she saw a suitcase that had photos of
- 43:11Speaker 1: a lot of white women in it, and then the
- 43:13Speaker 1: photos of Amy were missing, I thought, he's low on
- 43:17Speaker 1: the totem pole. He's working for someone. If we're talking
- 43:19Speaker 1: about an alleged abduction. He took the photos and he's
- 43:23Speaker 1: showing him to whoever the and saying, hey, how about
- 43:26Speaker 1: this girl? You know what I mean?
- 43:28Speaker 2: Oh you think he used that as a lineup? Yeah,
- 43:31Speaker 2: Like he collects the photos and then they pick one and.
- 43:35Speaker 1: They're like, Okay, she's attractive and young, and you know
- 43:40Speaker 1: she doesn't she's not with like a whole but she's
- 43:42Speaker 1: not with like a big group of girls.
- 43:44Speaker 3: You know.
- 43:44Speaker 1: She kind of is with her family. So she's a loner.
- 43:47Speaker 1: She's kind of off on her own. Doing her own thing.
- 43:49Speaker 1: She's at a disco tech right. So the photos was
- 43:52Speaker 1: another thing that threw me off the fact that they
- 43:54Speaker 1: disappeared from the ship and the photos of the formal
- 43:57Speaker 1: night were gone of her and then alleged, according to
- 44:00Speaker 1: Yellow's daughter, he was found with a suitcase full of
- 44:03Speaker 1: photos of women.
- 44:05Speaker 2: And that's the daughter saying that about the dad and
- 44:07Speaker 2: the daughter.
- 44:08Speaker 1: To me, and I don't know what you guys think
- 44:09Speaker 1: when you watched this, but to me, I felt like
- 44:11Speaker 1: the daughter knew more because she felt compelled to reach
- 44:15Speaker 1: out to the Bradley family and talk to them and
- 44:17Speaker 1: connect with them. I feel like she felt guilty, but
- 44:20Speaker 1: she also didn't want to give up her dad. So
- 44:22Speaker 1: I felt like she was very conflicted.
- 44:25Speaker 2: Now well, and that's why I asked if she was
- 44:27Speaker 2: a younger child. I don't know how someone.
- 44:32Speaker 1: She grew up with this hanging over, Like I know.
- 44:36Speaker 2: Her, that was always in the back of her mind.
- 44:38Speaker 1: Well, and it was always an issue because I think
- 44:41Speaker 1: he claims that Alistair Douglas claims that you know, he
- 44:45Speaker 1: was you know, he gets online hate. He had trouble
- 44:48Speaker 1: getting jobs because he was involved in this, you know,
- 44:51Speaker 1: and he also was given a light detector test by
- 44:54Speaker 1: the FBI and it came out inconclusive.
- 44:57Speaker 2: Oh and those light detector tests, you know what valid
- 45:01Speaker 2: they are? They are valid.
- 45:03Speaker 1: Yeah, I need everyone to remember that. Please plant that
- 45:06Speaker 1: in your brain. So Judy, back to Judy. Judy is
- 45:18Speaker 1: the one that saw her in the restroom or yeah,
- 45:20Speaker 1: in a bathroom in Barbados. She's watching Doctor Phil. They're
- 45:23Speaker 1: doing the story on Amy Bradley. It shows a picture
- 45:26Speaker 1: of Amy Bradley and then she's like, that is the
- 45:28Speaker 1: girl I saw in Barbados. So that's another I don't know.
- 45:33Speaker 1: I found her to be credible too in her interview.
- 45:35Speaker 1: You know, when you watch these things and you listen
- 45:37Speaker 1: to people and you you way whether you believe them
- 45:41Speaker 1: or not. I found her to be very believable anyway.
- 45:45Speaker 1: So the other theories as to what happened to Amy
- 45:48Speaker 1: Bradley that night clearly are one that she drank too
- 45:52Speaker 1: much and that she fell overboard. Other people I've seen
- 45:56Speaker 1: a lot of this have speculated that she was trying
- 45:58Speaker 1: to take a photo because she was going to enter
- 46:00Speaker 1: a photo contest. However, there's no camera unless she had
- 46:03Speaker 1: a camera with her on the balcony. And then she
- 46:06Speaker 1: fell over and the camera went with her. But I
- 46:08Speaker 1: don't know if I believe this whole photo theory of
- 46:10Speaker 1: her trying to take photos from the balcony and like
- 46:13Speaker 1: leaned over too far and ended up falling.
- 46:15Speaker 2: Yeah, photo of the black sky, I don't know.
- 46:20Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 46:21Speaker 2: Look how the black sky means the black ocean?
- 46:23Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, so, but that's what some people
- 46:26Speaker 1: are not playing. There's also the theory because Amy was
- 46:30Speaker 1: a lesbian and she was in a relationship with a woman,
- 46:33Speaker 1: but her parents were not accepted or not that they
- 46:39Speaker 1: threw her overboard. But there's people that speculate that maybe
- 46:43Speaker 1: she committed suicide because her parents weren't accepting of the
- 46:46Speaker 1: fact that she was a lesbian. However, I still go
- 46:49Speaker 1: back to the fact that you know, she seemed happy.
- 46:52Speaker 1: She got I'm sorry, she got a puppy, and she
- 46:54Speaker 1: had a puppy at home, And if you have a
- 46:56Speaker 1: dog at home waiting on you, you're not going to
- 46:58Speaker 1: commit suicide.
- 47:00Speaker 2: I don't know. You don't know, no, because people it's
- 47:04Speaker 2: like saying, oh, oh, Robin Williams, he had everything at
- 47:08Speaker 2: his leisure, Yeah, why would he kill himself? Because that's
- 47:12Speaker 2: not it, And maybe he bought a fancy house. Maybe
- 47:15Speaker 2: he tried to do the big movies to try to
- 47:17Speaker 2: escape from his depression. So maybe her, maybe she got
- 47:20Speaker 2: a puppy. I don't think she did, but I'm telling
- 47:22Speaker 2: you what's possible. Maybe she got a puppy. Maybe she
- 47:25Speaker 2: was doing all these things to try to distract her
- 47:27Speaker 2: from whatever was she was struggling with with her folks.
- 47:30Speaker 2: So I'm just putting that out there, just meaning you
- 47:32Speaker 2: can't just look at someone and be like, oh, they
- 47:34Speaker 2: must be happy, because look at all they have.
- 47:36Speaker 1: So there were some things that were not in the
- 47:40Speaker 1: documentary that I because after I watched the documentary, I
- 47:45Speaker 1: don't just watch the documentary. I watched the documentary and
- 47:47Speaker 1: then I obsess over the documentary, so then I constantly
- 47:51Speaker 1: Google read, read articles, get on Reddit, I read as
- 47:54Speaker 1: much as possible to add to it. So there were
- 47:57Speaker 1: some things that weren't in the documentary that I thought
- 48:00Speaker 1: were important. And then I started to realize that the
- 48:03Speaker 1: documentary was good, but you could tell it was. It
- 48:07Speaker 1: was definitely positioned that she was abducted. And I think
- 48:13Speaker 1: that's because and this is just me, this is my opinion.
- 48:16Speaker 1: I think because they wanted the family involved in the documentary.
- 48:19Speaker 1: The family is very much holding onto hope that she's
- 48:21Speaker 1: adopted and she's alive, and she's out there and they're
- 48:23Speaker 1: going to find her well.
- 48:25Speaker 2: And maybe they were also just putting it from her
- 48:26Speaker 2: point their point of view, you know, so that they
- 48:29Speaker 2: gathered from them.
- 48:29Speaker 1: There were there were certain things that were left out
- 48:32Speaker 1: of the documentary that maybe weren't so savory towards the family.
- 48:37Speaker 2: Two questions before you get into that, Yeah, is it
- 48:39Speaker 2: documentary recent?
- 48:41Speaker 1: Yeah, on Netflix right now?
- 48:42Speaker 2: And the other second question was where's it streaming on Netflix? Okay,
- 48:47Speaker 2: you answer that.
- 48:49Speaker 1: So there was also the Bradleys were scammed out of
- 48:52Speaker 1: two hundred thousand dollars searching for Amy. So there was
- 48:56Speaker 1: there was a man that came forward. His name was
- 48:58Speaker 1: Frank and he claimed to be a former Navy seal
- 49:02Speaker 1: and he basically went to them and he was like, look,
- 49:05Speaker 1: I have a team. They're in the Caribbean. If you
- 49:07Speaker 1: pay me, you know, I'm a former Navy seal. I'm
- 49:10Speaker 1: going to go down there. We're going to find her.
- 49:12Speaker 1: There's been sightings of her. We're going to get her. Yes,
- 49:15Speaker 1: total scam. So the family paid him around twenty two
- 49:18Speaker 1: thousand dollars out of their own personal money. Then I
- 49:21Speaker 1: believe there was another around one hundred and eighty thousand
- 49:23Speaker 1: dollars paid to him that came from like some type
- 49:26Speaker 1: of victims fund. So he scammed them out of over
- 49:30Speaker 1: two hundred thousand dollars. As far as I know, he
- 49:33Speaker 1: wasn't a former Navy seal. There was no Navy Seal
- 49:37Speaker 1: group in the Caribbean. He would also send photos to
- 49:41Speaker 1: them and updates, basically like I'm here, we've seen her,
- 49:45Speaker 1: there's been sightings, and kept them funding more money, you know,
- 49:49Speaker 1: cause it's like we're close, we saw her, here's a
- 49:51Speaker 1: picture of her back, and they would send a photo
- 49:53Speaker 1: of like a woman that.
- 49:55Speaker 2: I mean, I'm mad at this person for scamming and
- 49:58Speaker 2: tugging at the hearts of these people and using them,
- 50:00Speaker 2: But I'm also mad at this family sometimes when it's like,
- 50:02Speaker 2: why don't you you got to do some due diligence,
- 50:05Speaker 2: people are gonna just but I know that they just
- 50:08Speaker 2: have this hope, right, so they're just throwing money hoping
- 50:11Speaker 2: that you know something. So I feel for them, but
- 50:14Speaker 2: sometimes it makes me. It makes me really angry when
- 50:16Speaker 2: people take money from victims like that and that are
- 50:20Speaker 2: heartbroken and then it really and then I also get
- 50:22Speaker 2: upset at the family for kind of letting themselves being
- 50:24Speaker 2: taken advantage of.
- 50:26Speaker 1: Yeah, so his name was Frank Jones, and.
- 50:28Speaker 2: That two hundre thousand hollars they could have moved down
- 50:29Speaker 2: there and lived there. Yeah, he was to walk around
- 50:32Speaker 2: and try to look for her.
- 50:33Speaker 1: Yeah, that was another question I had. And these are
- 50:35Speaker 1: just things I would do that pop up in my mind. One,
- 50:38Speaker 1: Here's here's one question I have. And maybe maybe I'm
- 50:42Speaker 1: just dumb. I don't know, but I do have a question.
- 50:44Speaker 1: When she showed up on the website that showed her
- 50:46Speaker 1: as a sex worker, and I know they sent the
- 50:48Speaker 1: FBI down there to investigate. They even like they looked
- 50:51Speaker 1: into the photo, they looked at the bed, They tried
- 50:54Speaker 1: to find like the manufacturer of the bed so that
- 50:56Speaker 1: they could locate you know this. I but to me,
- 51:00Speaker 1: I'm like, why didn't someone go undercover and try to
- 51:03Speaker 1: hire her?
- 51:04Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if she's on a weekend, right, he
- 51:07Speaker 2: just went to the brothel. Yeah, like they took her.
- 51:09Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if she's on a website being advertised
- 51:14Speaker 1: as a sex worker.
- 51:15Speaker 2: He didn't call the FBI and say, hey, I think
- 51:17Speaker 2: she's over there. Yeah, why didn't and then they go
- 51:19Speaker 2: and like research the beds. Yeah, I went in and
- 51:22Speaker 2: he took her.
- 51:23Speaker 1: Like, why isn't someone like stationed down there undercover trying
- 51:27Speaker 1: to hire this girl because they're advertising her services? So
- 51:33Speaker 1: how is it that like that?
- 51:35Speaker 2: And maybe they did.
- 51:36Speaker 1: Maybe that's just.
- 51:37Speaker 2: That that seems to be a missed opportunity for sure, Right.
- 51:41Speaker 1: And then to your point that you were talking about
- 51:43Speaker 1: as a parent, I think I would have done the
- 51:45Speaker 1: same thing. I think I would move there too, because
- 51:48Speaker 1: if there's all these sightings between these three little islands
- 51:51Speaker 1: like Barbados and Aruba and Carousal, and there's multiple sightings
- 51:54Speaker 1: in Carousal, I'm telling you what, we would all pack
- 51:57Speaker 1: up and we would leave.
- 52:00Speaker 2: There was reason to believe that she's flown around.
- 52:02Speaker 1: And we would all be living in Cursow and every
- 52:05Speaker 1: day we would be on a mission to if I
- 52:08Speaker 1: truly believed that she was alive and she was existing
- 52:10Speaker 1: out there, I would find her.
- 52:12Speaker 2: I would be at every brothel.
- 52:13Speaker 1: Yes, you would, I know you would, thank you. Oh,
- 52:21Speaker 1: there was another thing that wasn't in the Netflix documentary
- 52:23Speaker 1: that Brad talks about on a podcast, or it was
- 52:26Speaker 1: also on some other I think it was on an
- 52:30Speaker 1: Unsolved Mysteries. It was said that Amy's brother Brad, claimed
- 52:34Speaker 1: that Yellow had come up to him on the pool
- 52:35Speaker 1: deck shortly after Amy disappeared and said, hey, man, I'm
- 52:38Speaker 1: sorry about your sister. Now, from what I take away
- 52:42Speaker 1: from that is, this is before anyone knew that she
- 52:45Speaker 1: was truly missing, because it took so long before they
- 52:48Speaker 1: made the announcement that she was missing. So Yello had
- 52:52Speaker 1: come up and said hey, I'm sorry about your sister
- 52:55Speaker 1: before it was known. So that was something else that
- 52:58Speaker 1: was kind of omitted or not talked about in the documentary. Also,
- 53:02Speaker 1: a jawbone washed up on shore near where Amy went missing.
- 53:06Speaker 1: This is in twenty ten, local authorities discovered a jawbone
- 53:08Speaker 1: that washed up on a beach in Aruba. It was
- 53:11Speaker 1: believed to belong to a Caucasian. There was another female,
- 53:15Speaker 1: it just says Caucasian. There was another missing person case
- 53:18Speaker 1: around the same time as this discovery, and that was
- 53:20Speaker 1: eighteen year old Natalie Holloway. The jawbone was tested and
- 53:23Speaker 1: found to not belong to Natalie, but no such testing
- 53:26Speaker 1: was carried out to see if it belonged to Amy Bradley.
- 53:29Speaker 1: Now see there's another thing. You're spending two hundred thousand
- 53:32Speaker 1: dollars on a fake Navy seal, Like, get the jawbone tested.
- 53:37Speaker 1: I do believe you can.
- 53:38Speaker 2: You can't be fair. Maybe they were tapped out by then.
- 53:40Speaker 2: Maybe it wasn't so easy.
- 53:42Speaker 1: Well, the FBI should be testing it.
- 53:44Speaker 2: Somebody should be testing it the jawbone at this time.
- 53:47Speaker 1: I don't know who has the jaw bone, but I would.
- 53:48Speaker 2: Like someone there. Is it literally just a bone?
- 53:52Speaker 1: I don't know, but I do think that with bones, now,
- 53:54Speaker 1: can't you get deep?
- 53:57Speaker 2: And you can't what could be DNA in there? But yeah,
- 54:00Speaker 2: to think twenty ten, so that this thing's flotting around
- 54:02Speaker 2: for twelve years in the ocean, it's going to have
- 54:05Speaker 2: a bunch of algae and stuff.
- 54:07Speaker 1: Yeah, so that was something else that they didn't really
- 54:11Speaker 1: talk about. That Natalie Holloway case. That's an interesting one too.
- 54:14Speaker 1: I feel like we need.
- 54:14Speaker 2: To do today.
- 54:16Speaker 1: No not today. You're like, I'm not prepared for that.
- 54:18Speaker 2: I'm not prepared for that any of them.
- 54:20Speaker 1: You never are.
- 54:21Speaker 2: Thanks for showing up that.
- 54:24Speaker 1: You are just shade and then in twenty ten, even
- 54:29Speaker 1: though there was no conclusion to this case, and it
- 54:31Speaker 1: still is an open missing person's case and the FBI
- 54:34Speaker 1: still has it as you know, a missing persons and
- 54:37Speaker 1: if you have any information. However, she was declared dead
- 54:39Speaker 1: in twenty ten because she had been gone. And then
- 54:42Speaker 1: there's one other thing I wanted to talk about that
- 54:44Speaker 1: they didn't talk about in the Netflix documentary, and this
- 54:46Speaker 1: is because I felt like again that the producers were
- 54:51Speaker 1: pushing this narrative of like her being abducted, and I
- 54:55Speaker 1: think they were trying to keep the family happy, and
- 54:56Speaker 1: they wanted the family to be on board, and they
- 54:58Speaker 1: wanted the family to be a big part of it.
- 55:00Speaker 1: The family sued Royal Caribbean right after this happened, and
- 55:06Speaker 1: they actually sued them in two different lawsuits. One was
- 55:09Speaker 1: like a negligence intentional infliction of emotional distress and then
- 55:13Speaker 1: the second one was a wrongful death. But what happened
- 55:16Speaker 1: was they sued them in Miami that was the jurisdiction
- 55:19Speaker 1: right and they ended up dismissing both cases because they
- 55:25Speaker 1: found that the Bradleys perjured themselves in court. Well, they
- 55:30Speaker 1: say that they perpetuated a fraud on the court by
- 55:33Speaker 1: giving false answers during their depositions. And this is where
- 55:36Speaker 1: I think one in the wrongful death case, they want
- 55:42Speaker 1: her to be dead, so then you don't want to
- 55:46Speaker 1: give information about sighting. So I think that they were
- 55:48Speaker 1: not giving they were not forthcoming about these credible sightings
- 55:53Speaker 1: because they need her to be dead for the wrongful
- 55:56Speaker 1: death suit. But then in the negligence and like the
- 55:59Speaker 1: intentional infliction of emotional distress, I think there were lots
- 56:03Speaker 1: of sightings, like one hundred plus sightings that claim that
- 56:06Speaker 1: they saw that people saw her not under dress, just
- 56:10Speaker 1: disembarking from the ship, and they didn't bring forth that
- 56:15Speaker 1: evidence either. So basically they were withholding a lot of
- 56:17Speaker 1: evidence in their depositions. And then the judge just got
- 56:20Speaker 1: really irritated and said, you're perjured the court. You're not forthcoming.
- 56:24Speaker 2: And these depositions, any cases were right, So that's what
- 56:31Speaker 2: happened with those and that was not brought up.
- 56:33Speaker 1: There were no details given about these court cases in
- 56:35Speaker 1: the Netflix documentary. I think it's because it doesn't look
- 56:38Speaker 1: good for the Bradleys that maybe takes away from their
- 56:42Speaker 1: integrity or care.
- 56:45Speaker 2: On the and I think they wanted Bradley as opposed
- 56:48Speaker 2: to you know, the legal progressions and whatnot.
- 56:51Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think it also goes down to just
- 56:53Speaker 1: them and their credibility and you know, so anyway, so anyway,
- 56:58Speaker 1: those were dismissed.
- 56:59Speaker 2: And then that the judge went on a cruise right
- 57:01Speaker 2: after the case was dismissed.
- 57:02Speaker 1: Oh yacumentary from was it on Rhapsody of the Seas?
- 57:08Speaker 1: All right? So I also read an article about the
- 57:10Speaker 1: documentary makers were interviewed, and I thought the interview was
- 57:13Speaker 1: really interesting. So when asked if they think Amy is alive,
- 57:16Speaker 1: Aery Mark Ari Mark said, I got to the point
- 57:20Speaker 1: on this show where I became close enough with the people.
- 57:22Speaker 1: Of course, we remain objective, and we were objective through
- 57:24Speaker 1: the whole process. There are enough reasons to believe all
- 57:27Speaker 1: of these things are possible. That's what makes it compelling.
- 57:30Speaker 1: But brad Amy's brother says, I have to cling to
- 57:33Speaker 1: the hope. He's like, I'm not saying it's definitely this
- 57:35Speaker 1: or definitely that, but I have to cling to the hope.
- 57:37Speaker 1: I think that is important when you're analyzing this case,
- 57:41Speaker 1: is that there's enough credible sightings out there, and then
- 57:44Speaker 1: there's the website, and there's the possibility that she is
- 57:47Speaker 1: still alive, and that's what helps the family get through
- 57:50Speaker 1: the day.
- 57:51Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you hold on to that too. I wouldn't
- 57:53Speaker 2: be like, well and probably not, I would be holding
- 57:55Speaker 2: on to that, you know.
- 57:57Speaker 1: And it's also interesting they really like preserved her like
- 58:01Speaker 1: a time capsule because she drove a Maza Miata and
- 58:04Speaker 1: they have the car in pristine condition in the parents
- 58:10Speaker 1: in the garage waiting for her.
- 58:11Speaker 2: Okay, one of your kids go missing, are you going
- 58:13Speaker 2: to clean out the room and redecorate.
- 58:15Speaker 1: No, but I'm just saying yeah, so they're holding on
- 58:19Speaker 1: to hope that that she is out there. My other question,
- 58:23Speaker 1: and I didn't tell you this before, tell me what
- 58:25Speaker 1: you think about this. The website. There's a website like
- 58:27Speaker 1: Amy Bradley is Missing website, and they get a lot
- 58:32Speaker 1: of hits because they've done the analytics on this website.
- 58:35Speaker 1: It's information about her photos. The hits come from Barbados
- 58:40Speaker 1: and Carousal that area, and the hits are the most
- 58:45Speaker 1: prevalent and the most hits around the family's birthday and holidays.
- 58:52Speaker 2: So I don't know if that means anything.
- 58:56Speaker 1: Well, a lot of people think it's Amy Bradley.
- 58:58Speaker 2: So what on the holiday birthday? She goes, Oh, because
- 59:01Speaker 2: there are other updates on that website. Yes, there's updates.
- 59:04Speaker 2: I thought that was just like a missing poster.
- 59:06Speaker 1: No, well, it's Amy Bradley is missing. But it's but
- 59:09Speaker 1: the family adds updates and they add photos and things
- 59:13Speaker 1: and the most of the okay, camry from those islands.
- 59:17Speaker 2: And you're implying that it's possible that it's her, Well,
- 59:21Speaker 2: it's not just me.
- 59:22Speaker 1: People think that it could be her.
- 59:24Speaker 2: Wouldn't you reach out?
- 59:26Speaker 1: That is my question? That's what I was getting to.
- 59:29Speaker 1: If she's looking at a website and she's looking at
- 59:31Speaker 1: photos of her family, and she has access to a computer,
- 59:35Speaker 1: why can't you just send like, can you send any like?
- 59:37Speaker 2: Because maybe it's not her? But then why are they maybe?
- 59:40Speaker 2: But then why are they hitting?
- 59:41Speaker 1: Why are there so many hits on the days when
- 59:44Speaker 1: like it's her brother's birthday or.
- 59:45Speaker 2: Her mom's birthday's official? This dad is official.
- 59:48Speaker 1: Yes, it's like a cyber yeah person together. Yeah. And also,
- 59:55Speaker 1: I don't know, it's been twenty seven years. In twenty
- 59:58Speaker 1: seven years, now, you couldn't slip a like a help
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: me piece of paper over to someone or something.
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: Well, she did well, according to you, she went up
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: to a couple of people and she made efforts. Yeah,
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: but it's not that easy. What if what if the
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: two men grab her or take her and beat her
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: or do something or threaten to kill her family. We
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: know where your family is either here on doctor Phil,
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: We're gonna kill him. Well, there's and I I you
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: can you can. I can assure you that you can
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: get any person, particularly someone you know, under threat like
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: that where she's been abducted and she knows she's under
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: their control and they say we know your family, we
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: have pictures, we will kill them. Yeah, and that's the
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: end of it. So you can't fault her for not
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: reaching out. You can wonder why she couldn't, but you
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: can't fault her if she doesn't reach out.
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: There are some people also that think that maybe she
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: has children now at this point, and because there was
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: some mention that one woman, Judy that saw her in
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: the bathroom and Barbados said there was a conversation about
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: like she overheard them saying you can see the kids,
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: or you can see the children later or something like that.
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: So people speculate that maybe she has children.
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty seven years, that's a lot. That's longer than
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: she was alive. But when she got adducted, so she
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: might just be, you know, accepting kind of her new Well.
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: I also thought maybe at this point, if she is alive,
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: maybe there's an element of Stockholm syndrome.
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: I guess that was my way of saying, she's accepted
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: kind of this is my life, these are my kids,
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: this is this is just the way it is. Like
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: it's not great, but it's the way it is righteous.
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: So she kind of succumbed to the circumstances.
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: Right, So when the picture this is going back, we're
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: just going back a little bit back to the creators
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: who created this documentary. When the picture of the prostitute
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: and Cursaal was brought up, they talk about Amy being
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: positioned in a very specific way that would hide her
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: identifying marks, her tattoos and birth marks, which we talked
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: about earlier. Ari Mark comments that part really made us
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: scratch our heads too. The other piece that's hard to
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: ignore is how seriously the FBI took the photo. It
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: wasn't like they were like, oh whatever, They really did
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: chase down that lead. They analyzed the bedframe, tried to
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: figure out where it was made. They send an operative
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: down there to actually scope it out, and they did
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: look into the website and they brought in a trafficking expert.
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: So that's all hard to ignore. Even with all those
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: things and all the things the FBI did, they still
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: couldn't locate her. Then the interviewer points out on family
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: birthdays and holidays, traffic to the Bradley's Tips website spikes
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: and the same geographical area where Amy has supposedly been spotted.
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: The FBI does not have jurisdiction to pull the exact
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: IP address, but they have the ability to, which is
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: incredibly frustrating. So that was the other thing they cannot.
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: They're not pulling the IP address of these hits on
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: this Amy Bradley updates website. All right, So where am
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: I at personally? It Again, this case just reminds me
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: of Karen Reid, where it's so easy to say, you
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: know what, she probably just jumped or she probably fell,
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: But when you take a deeper dive, you just it's
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: hard for me to commit to that. I do believe
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: based upon the credible sightings, the fact that Alistair Douglas
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: was seen with her, that he had a suitcase of
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: women's photos, that her photos disappeared from the ship, That
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: it is very very likely and very possible that she's
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: still alive and that she was abducted. I think that's
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: where I'm going to land with that, and I do hope.
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: My hope is that because all of this is coming
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: to light and now it's just everyone's talking about it
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: and there's a documentary that I hope for the family
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: that there is some conclusion to this saga for them,
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: because the not knowing has to just be I can't
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: imagine every day waking up and just not knowing what
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: happened to your daughter. Right So anyway, one last update,
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: people are calling for an AMY alert on cruise ships.
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: There is a petition on change dot org with over
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: twelve thousand signatures that calls for a mandatory AMY alert
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: system on cruise ships, similar similar to an Amber alert,
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: ensuring immediate announcements and heightened awareness among among all passengers
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: and crew. The petition states that mandating AMY alerts would
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: improve response times for any potential crisis on board, and
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: it could prevent prolonged uncertainties for families and even save lives.
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: So I don't know. As far as policy change, I
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: couldn't really find that there was a lot of policy
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: change based upon the Amy Bradley case. It was more
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: of just now there's more security or security cameras on
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: cruise ships. But at the end of the day, you're
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: still on a floating.
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: Well as strong, you're only as strong as your weakest link.
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: And they get all the cameras in the world. If
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: they don't preserve the evidence, they don't do their investigation,
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: if they don't lock down the ship, then none of that's.
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: And I do know that during that time period in
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: the nineties, the crew could fratnize with the passengers, and
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: now I do believe that there are strict, stricter rules
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: as far as not co mingling with passengers and things
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: like that. So, I mean, some things have changed since
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: the disappearance of Amy Bradley, but not a lot. So
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: everyone needs to be make sure you read the back
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: of your ticket when you go on a cruise. I'm
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: actually supposed to be on a cruise in like a
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: week on rural Caribbean.
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: What's the name of the ship I'm going to find out?
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: All right, Thanks guys for listening. We appreciate it.
