00:00.
00:15Careful.
00:18Lisa's not 1,000 degrees up here.
00:22Amy's two bags are over here, and all of her belongings
00:27are in boxes over in the eaves there.
00:37That's the bag she packed?
00:39She packed this bag and this bag in.
00:45When's the last time we looked in that bag?
00:47Probably about 20 years ago.
00:50We have all of her things right down to her wallet
00:53and her change and her toothbrush.
00:57This is what she had on during dinner.
01:06She was supposed to come home and have her things.
01:21After Amy disappeared, watching Dad hold Mom while she's losing it was super hard.
01:32Before that, I don't know if I'd ever seen my dad kind of break down.
01:37Before Amy's disappearance, life is good, everything's great, everything's going well.
01:46And then all of a sudden, the rug had pulled out from under us and everything kind of came
01:54to a screeching halt.
01:56I stopped school for a period of time, came back home.
02:02It felt like this depressing period where one of the most important people in my life was gone, was missing.
02:11We've lost a lot of years, you know, of our life.
02:18Search it.
02:19But we won't stop.
02:21I don't have children.
02:24And I'll be 48 in December.
02:27Subconsciously, I think I'd have to admit, you know,
02:30watching my parents lose a child was so traumatic for me
02:34that I'm not willing to put myself in a position to go through that.
02:50Somebody knows something.
02:52Somebody saw something, somebody heard something, somebody told somebody something.
02:58We were told by an FBI agent, keep your lights on.
03:04Nobody can keep a secret their entire life.
03:21Message two.
03:23I know what you guys are going through, and if it was me in this situation,
03:46I would want information about, you know, why my daughter isn't here right now.
03:52I couldn't believe it.
03:55I couldn't believe if all the people find our number, go through the effort,
04:01and call it would be Alistair Douglas's daughter.
04:10I was born in Grenada.
04:12Me and my dad was like two peas in a pod.
04:17Like I said to everybody, my daddy's girl, my dad made me that way.
04:20It took me on a lot of fun adventures, going to the beach, going out for food, seeing him play with his band.
04:28But growing up, it was just all about his music.
04:31And he was just constantly away, playing music on cruise ships.
04:35When he and my mom got divorced, I think I was probably like one or two.
04:43And then when I got older, my mom said something happened on the cruise ship your dad was on.
04:51And if you go research his name, you'll probably find this about him.
04:56I wasn't born at the time, but my mom told me one night when he came back from the cruise ship.
05:05My mom said everything just changed.
05:11I guess my mom was just trying to, you know, have a conversation with him.
05:14I mean, she's been home by herself for months, you know.
05:17And then just to see her husband come home and he's upset and just saying a lot of hurtful stuff to her.
05:23It's just really weird that he would disrespect his pregnant wife like that.
05:28You know, it's scary, too.
05:30And then my mom saw that he came home with a bag.
05:36My mom looked in the bag and it was pictures, pictures of women, just all Caucasian women.
05:49And I think that's what raised the red flag for me.
05:57It's just, there's a lot of questions behind it.
06:03When I asked my dad what happened with Amy, his reaction is just weird.
06:10He gets upset when I bring it up.
06:14To me, his story feels like he was missing a lot of parts.
06:19And that's what's making this so nerve-wracking.
06:27I want this to end.
06:28I want, you know, answers.
06:33Hi, Daddy.
06:34I would wish that you put yourself in my shoe and understand how I feel about this.
06:56I mean, they brought the FBI on immediately.
06:59And then he said to me that they're trying to find this girl and I would seem to answer with her.
07:05Why am I hearing that you were seen on the beach with her, like, months later?
07:12Why am I hearing that you were seen on the beach with her, like, months later?
07:24So you don't know if she ever got off the boat?
07:40You don't know if she ever got off the boat.
07:43How would I know that?
07:44I left her in the club at one o'clock.
07:47And I went to my room.
07:48How would I know she got off the boat?
07:51I'm a little boy from Grenada who's never had any experience like this before.
07:56I'm sitting there.
07:57My name is called.
07:58I'm being questioned about something I don't know.
08:00Naomi found a bag of pictures of Caucasian women that you came home with, you know?
08:10It raised a lot of questions.
08:11Which one of the pictures was with her?
08:14I don't know.
08:15I had many pictures.
08:17Yeah, why?
08:19It's hard to hold this conversation with you because you get upset.
08:22I would take pictures with everybody.
08:24As a band, people come and want to take pictures with you.
08:27If this happened to me, how would you feel?
08:30If you were missing, I would do everything in my power to find out where you are.
08:34I understand that her family is trying, maybe trying to find her all these years.
08:38And I'm in sympathy with that, but I had nothing to do with that.
08:42Nothing at all.
08:45Nothing.
08:52It's like a puzzle you can't put together.
08:57Like, it's just so much missing pieces.
09:00When I spoke to the Bradleys, it was emotional.
09:04Everything that they were saying, it just kept hidden.
09:08Like, I have a daughter.
09:10And I'd be losing my mind every single day.
09:14I would not rest until, you know, I know what's going on.
09:18There's got to be something at the deepest level in her, I believe, to go through the effort to find us and try to help us.
09:30I want peace for everybody.
09:32You know, if we had evidence, someone would have been arrested.
09:45But Alistair, he had some behavior that is definitely suspicious.
09:49The young women saw Amy and Alistair Douglas together going up to the disco through the elevator, which was after the disco closed.
09:57And that timeline does make sense.
10:00Because we know Alistair was in his room approximately by, you know, 3.30, 5 a.m.
10:06But then after that, the timeline can't be confirmed because the door lock would have when passengers entered their cabin.
10:13But not, of course, when they exited their cabin.
10:18We can't track when Alistair Douglas next left the cabin.
10:22Two young women saw Amy and Alistair Douglas together.
10:26You just don't know, is the time actually correct?
10:31Lori Rennick saw Alistair Douglas with Amy going up the glass elevator to the disco approximately 5.30 or so.
10:39They go back to their room a few minutes later and have forgotten their keys.
10:45And so they knock on the door and the mother of one of the girls opens the door and lets them in.
10:53So there's no lock link showing key entry as to when they said they were going in.
11:01I can't find any evidence.
11:02Anyone interviewed the mother who let them in the room at 5.30, 6 o'clock in the morning
11:08to confirm that time.
11:11The fact Alistair Douglas is not in the United States makes it very difficult.
11:15We have no jurisdiction.
11:18You can't just go into another country, you know, without the permission, of course, or, you know,
11:22hey, can I speak to your citizen?
11:25I just remember he was very nice, very chill, good guy.
11:30You know, had no bad thoughts about him, no bad experiences with him at all.
11:34He was in the wrong place at the wrong time dancing with the wrong girl, and he told them
11:40what he knew.
11:41No one even thought he would be capable of doing anything wrong or bad.
11:47It's surprising how few people realize the dangers of cruising.
11:52But the things that have happened to Amy Bradley and her family do happen.
11:57I don't know what kind of background check is done on the crew that's hired there, because
12:04they're hired in countries where the vetting practices might be incredibly different from
12:10what we're accustomed to in the U.S.
12:12There are stories after story after story of disappearance or suspicious deaths, sexual
12:20assault.
12:21When something happens, I suspect the first person they call is the legal department.
12:26What do we do?
12:28How do we cover this up?
12:29How do we make this go away?
12:32I think people forget when you get on one of these cruise ships, you're in basically your
12:37own country, you might be a U.S. citizen, and this may look like Main Street USA, but it's
12:45not, because the sheriff of this town, the boss of this little floating village, is the captain.
12:55And the captain is an employee of a multibillion-dollar company.
13:00What's at stake is money.
13:05It is profit over people, profit over protection.
13:12Being a proud Royal Caribbean employee, it was just kind of heartbreaking that we were accused
13:17of, you know, either wrongdoing or not doing our job properly or not caring.
13:22You know, we had a business to run.
13:25And that was a very unexpected happening.
13:30I've concluded that the conspiracy theories about Amy Bradley are BS.
13:39I think she jumped or fell off.
13:45And I just think it's grasping at straws.
13:47It's a family that is not facing reality.
13:55A family who cannot come to terms with the fact that their daughter's gone, looking for somebody
14:04to blame.
14:04The front cover shows Chandra Levy, Molly Besh, Jill Berman, and here's Amy.
14:13The 26 years of looking for Amy every day, it's a life goal.
14:22Two chairs and then the balcony, you have the sun deck, and then you have the compass deck.
14:27That would be the island, and then this would be the search grid.
14:31But in my quiet times, I mean, it's just like, what did we miss?
14:38Looking for a clue and looking for somebody who has something, but they don't know what to do with it,
14:45or they're afraid.
14:48Because I know somebody knows something.
14:50But please give us that one thing that we need.
14:57What are you holding?
15:04It's a message in a bottle that she sent me in February of 1998.
15:11It is one of the most personal things, and I am incredibly reluctant to share it with anyone.
15:25I can't, this can't.
15:36Why don't we start from the beginning?
15:38Okay.
15:41We met at a basketball tryout.
15:48I was 14, and I am shy, introverted, insecure, and I see this very confident, loud, playful person
16:04that was doing trick shots, and she couldn't just take a layup.
16:09She had to put, like, a style in it.
16:14And so I was like, whoa, who is this?
16:17We were both on the travel team.
16:21So you're staying in hotels, you're playing all day long, pretty quickly.
16:27We were really close friends.
16:29We'd get along on different levels.
16:32We'd go to each other's houses.
16:34And these dynamics started to come in.
16:38I was like, okay, who is this person that you're hanging out with?
16:41I had a sleepover at her house.
16:44I can't sleep.
16:45Why can't?
16:46My heart is pounding.
16:47But clearly, I was falling for her.
16:51But then we went to different colleges and both came out in college, but we didn't really
16:59know it until graduation.
17:01We went to the gay bar and hung out all night and danced and caught up, and she's dropping
17:12me off in the driveway.
17:14We both lean in.
17:17I had never been kissed before like that.
17:22I think we stayed in that car for, like, an hour kissing.
17:27And it felt like, finally, it was magical.
17:35I had just gotten a job at University of Kentucky, so I was getting ready to leave.
17:41But we both intuitively knew we wanted to be together, and we were going to pursue long
17:49distance.
17:50She'd come for weekends, and I was very much in love with her.
17:57But in January of 98, she calls me.
18:02She wanted to tell me that she had kissed someone.
18:07They had been drinking.
18:08What she said was it didn't mean anything.
18:11She said it helped her confirm her feelings for me.
18:18And I said, Amy, I need some time to process this.
18:23I wasn't returning her phone call, so she resorted to writing letters and a message in a bottle.
18:30Molly, I hurt you deeper than you can ever forget.
18:42I'm not asking you to forget, because that'll never happen.
18:45I just wanted to ask you if you could find it in your heart to forgive me.
18:51Molly, will you please forgive me?
18:52I have been insensitive, immature, and selfish.
18:57I didn't like the person I was, and I'm not proud of how I acted.
19:02I feel like there is an ocean between us.
19:06Like I'm on a desert island, waiting for you to rescue me.
19:10A message in a bottle, my only hope.
19:13I miss you, Molly.
19:16Save me, please.
19:20Stranded, Amy.
19:21Years had passed because the 20th anniversary was coming upon us.
19:42That's a great way to get more, you know, information out there,
19:44to really push that the FBI still has the case open,
19:47that we are, you know, soliciting and garnering love information to come in.
19:51It's been all these years, so I had age progression photos of Amy done,
19:55because I myself don't look the same as when I graduated college.
20:00She can have a different hairstyle, long hair, short hair, and of course she is aged.
20:04If you have any information, whether it be that you are a passenger or a crew member,
20:09we ask that you come forward.
20:10The smallest detail could assist us in finding out what happened to Amy.
20:15Back in 1998, there wasn't a whole lot of Internet going on.
20:19Things have changed quite a bit.
20:25Hi, guys. Welcome back to my channel.
20:27Today, we're going to be talking about an unsolved missing persons case.
20:31Amy Lynn Bradley.
20:32Amy Bradley.
20:33Amy Lynn Bradley.
20:34One of the biggest mysteries at sea.
20:36I really, really don't think she would have intentionally jumped.
20:39Okay, first off, even if she did fall off the boat,
20:42they were so close, she could have swam.
20:45As disturbing as it is, it is entirely possible Amy Lynn Bradley was smuggled off this cruise ship.
20:51Ships have so many closets and weird little corners and nooks and crannies that you could hide someone in.
20:57He was an employee of the cruise ship and had access to restricted areas.
21:02Or maybe the band members of the Blue Orchid were working for some sort of nefarious operation.
21:07Maybe the whole entire crew was in on it.
21:10I think that she was, like, marked.
21:13So if you have any information leading to the recovery identification of Amy Lynn Bradley, please contact the FBI.
21:19I first became aware of Amy's case, it was in 2014.
21:28True crime discussion boards really were only really starting to begin at that point.
21:32I had a pretty strong interest in true crime.
21:35I was pretty much Googling and researching everything I could find about Amy.
21:38Articles, web sleuths, threads, there was discussion, forums.
21:44I was pretty shocked that, for one, I had never heard of the case and that Amy had never been found.
21:50Amy's story moved me in a lot of ways and I really felt like there needed to be a go-to resource
21:56where all of the information that are pertaining to Amy's case could be posted.
22:00Because, if they're not, these cases a lot of the time do get forgotten about.
22:06So that was why, in 2018, I created my website.
22:10AmyBradleyismissing.com
22:12It has photographs, sightings, a lot of archived links, all of the tips, leads, different theories.
22:25Obviously, a case of this magnitude, the speculation, it goes completely crazy.
22:38And that's where I was standing when I saw Amy.
22:44I work in telecommunications.
22:46I'm a networking and telecommunications specialist.
22:48That's what I do.
22:50Now, one day, Ivor tells me, hey, this guy, Anthony Willis.
22:55He built this website.
22:57So, Anthony and I have a strike up to this kind of friendship.
23:01So, then we start thinking, but wait a minute.
23:04We have a website.
23:06We have string data that comes from that website.
23:09We have IP tracking on that website.
23:12Why don't we start to mine that data?
23:15The great thing about my website is I can log into the analytics.
23:23I can find each and every IP that has visited my site.
23:27I can then, what you do is you copy and paste those IPs into a IP reader, and it will give you the general geolocation of where that IP is coming from.
23:36Anthony starts sending me information, the data.
23:42I start filtering through the data.
23:45We're looking for patterns where these IP addresses come from.
23:49What was pretty shocking to me was the amount of IPs that were coming from Bridgetown, Barbados.
23:58The last sighting ever was in Barbados.
24:08So, we start taking pictures of Amy's family, and we start putting that information up there.
24:14I start pulling out all of the IP addresses.
24:16It tells us how many times that IP address visited the site.
24:21It tells us what pages they went on and how long they rested on that page.
24:28Why, why, why, why, why, why on birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, does somebody keep hitting that site?
24:37They dwell on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and birthdays, and hitting it from Curacao, hitting it from Barbados, and sit on there for 45 minutes or something.
24:54It doesn't make sense.
24:59So, here's my theory, and it's just that.
25:02It's either the people that are involved in this are curious, and they want to know how close they are to being caught.
25:10The second thing is, it's Amy.
25:15We put a lot of new pictures up, sentimental things.
25:19We've got her Miata, had pictures of the dog.
25:24If, in case she happens to be able to look at it, hopefully she would see it and know that we're still trying and still thinking about her.
25:32The pages that they dwell on, right?
25:34Why are you looking at this page, and why are you spending minutes on it, right?
25:40Why do you keep coming back to these pages?
25:42Why are you interested in these pages?
25:47Maybe you're doing this because you want to reach back.
25:50You want to reach back.
25:51It's a memory, right?
25:52You want to see how your mom and dad have aged over the years, and what your brother is doing, or something is happening in their lives.
25:59Maybe they're looking to make sure they're still alive.
26:04When Amy disappeared, was there a threat out there that said, if you ever tell your parents, we'll kill them?
26:10It might be she still believes that her family might be threatened.
26:13I think the idea that she's being held against her will, and that she will go to the website to see her own photographs, anything is possible.
26:24You can track those that, you know, come to the site, but you have to go through a legal process to get the subscriber information.
26:33If people are international and they're not from a U.S. carrier, we're not going to at all obtain, you know, any information on who could be hitting that site.
26:41The question I'm sure you've also been asked is, why the hell does an Amy call home, email home, if she's alive?
26:49Okay, so that's a good question.
26:56I don't understand why she wouldn't have reached out if she has access to a computer.
27:01However, we don't know, you know, what she has experienced, what she has endured.
27:05Back when I saw Amy in Barbados, one thing that I always remember, when the men said, you better be all set to go and don't try to leave or do anything, because we're going to be outside waiting and watching all night.
27:26The woman, she goes, can we stop and see the children?
27:31He said, yeah, we could stop and see the children.
27:33And then he says, are you going to cooperate, not try to leave?
27:36And she said, yes.
27:39I don't know whose children they were going to go see, but she really got excited about that.
27:47Maybe it was her children.
27:49A lot of things could have happened in that time period.
27:52We don't know if she has children.
27:54She could be a mother now.
27:55We don't know if there's been threats that have been made against her family that might explain why she hasn't reached out.
28:01Even though she has been seen in Curaçao, she's been seen in Barbados.
28:08I look at all of these sightings, and people say, well, why hasn't she called you?
28:14That's probably the biggest question that we get.
28:17If she's out there, why doesn't she call you?
28:20Well, there's a lot of reasons.
28:21Maybe she's a victim of Stockholm Syndrome, where the captive person starts to identify with their captors.
28:29Maybe she's in a situation where she's had children.
28:36Maybe they threatened her.
28:38Maybe they threatened her children.
28:40We don't know any of these answers.
28:42It just gives me hope that she's still out there somewhere.
28:46To think that I've got grandchildren that I don't know, I'm still on Earth.
28:50I'm still here, so if I do, and we're able to locate Amy, and if she has children, locate her children, I'd be happy.
29:06Here's a few things in here that are pretty special.
29:09We have all of Amy's possessions, even down to the change in her wallet.
29:27The not knowing.
29:28How does it not wear them down?
29:31It doesn't.
29:33Thirty years later, they're still come across as hopeful and optimistic.
29:39But hope is a double-edged sword, you know?
29:43And I wonder what's better, having that hope, having the belief that she's coming home, or getting the closure that you need.
29:59If she is drinking Mai Tais on a beach somewhere, and we find her, and she's happy, I would be the happiest person in the world.
30:09And I don't think that's the ending we're going to get.
30:14Because of the circumstances, her going missing, a month later, to the day that she sent me this letter, and also it being a message in a bottle.
30:34The convenience of the metaphor is ripe for misunderstanding.
30:44It could suggest suicide.
30:46But I don't connect with it in that way.
30:51For me, I read a love letter.
30:55It is a love letter.
30:57After the message in a bottle, I reach out to her, and we actually got together.
31:07This was days before she left for the cruise.
31:11She wanted me to meet her dog she had adopted, Bailey, and she really wanted me to see her apartment.
31:16I knew in her presence, we were going to make it work, and we had planned that we would see each other after the cruise on Easter.
31:31I don't think she'd been on a cruise before.
31:34She was incredibly excited about it.
31:36She'd written me a postcard.
31:41It arrived after I had gotten word she was missing.
31:50I'm a photographer, so she referenced taking photos.
31:55And then she said, I wish you were here.
31:57I can't help but want to, like, stop her from going on the cruise.
32:07You know, I was right there.
32:08I was right there with her in that apartment right before her.
32:14And so I can see her.
32:15I can, like, see her clearly.
32:17I can smell her.
32:19I can feel her.
32:27Because we're bringing her alive, you know?
32:31Like, we're bringing her alive.
32:39Today is the 9,758th day that we've been working to get Amy.
32:50We will never give up on her.
32:52In the morning when we wake up, we say, well, maybe today.
32:56And then when we get ready to go to bed at night, we have a special little kiss for Amy, and we say, maybe tomorrow.
33:03We keep her car in the garage at home.
33:06We keep it out of the weather and keep it shined up.
33:10That's hers.
33:11And she would love to be able to get back in it.
33:16So it's going to be pristine when she gets here.
33:22And that she'll get to drive it again.
33:29We all have this gut feeling that she's out there.
33:38The lack of closure or the not knowing allows us to continue to hope.
33:43So I actually prefer it that way, you know, than the finality of having an answer.
33:52Ron Bradley was over my house a month ago, and he said to me, when Amy comes home.
34:04Sometimes, like, I see her in my brain.
34:06I think about her in certain places.
34:10I see her playing basketball a lot.
34:13Like, I see her drinking a beer a lot and hanging out and dancing.
34:18You wonder what she would think of all of our life choices and, you know, what we've done.
34:26And, you know, and then there's just that hope that she knows that, like, how much we've all missed her.
34:35Brad and I broke up within a couple months of when Amy disappeared.
34:38I just think there was just a lot going on for all of us, you know.
34:46I still love them.
34:48I think the situation was obviously so overwhelming that, you know, I probably distanced myself.
34:58I think they probably all felt like they just couldn't handle anything else.
35:02I mean, it's never going to be the same.
35:08The Amy Bradley case is, you're never going to forget it because you can't, it's so many questions.
35:15For an FBI agent, that is very, very frustrating because that's our business.
35:20We like to solve mysteries.
35:21We don't like to leave loose ends.
35:24And this case is just full of them.
35:26I think that's the struggle, all these different sightings.
35:36I desperately wanted them to be true.
35:41Any scenario about what could have happened around her disappearance has doubt and possibility mixed in.
35:51But for me and my making peace, with that she's no longer here, the one that I have loved, isn't it?
36:04The fact is, I'm living my life without her.
36:08That's not going to change.
36:10That doesn't change.
36:12Amy's case today is considered an open investigation.
36:23If anybody knows anything, were you on that ship?
36:27Did you see or hear something?
36:28It's been all these years.
36:30Maybe you took notes.
36:31Maybe you wrote something down.
36:32Whatever it may be, that information could help.
36:38Something happened to Amy.
36:41Amy, we don't know what that is, but we have got to have answers.
36:58If you know something, please give us that one thing that we need.
37:05Please do that for us and do that for Amy.
37:09Amy!
37:09Amy!
37:25You're welcome!
37:25You're welcome!
37:34Amy!
