These photos are taken from the Netflix series Amy Bradley is Missing episode 1 starting around the 35:16 mark.

According to Chris Fenwick, he’s on the Rhapsody of the Seas to edit a highlight reel for a computer company’s salesforce. He’s not filming only editing. He’s stuck in his stateroom almost the entire time working on this reel. Both of them were on the ship for approximately only 50-60 hours before she disappeared depending on when they boarded the ship. Rots left San Juan at 10 pm Saturday, March 21st. Amy was last seen in public around 3-3:30 am Tuesday, March 24th. That’s 53 hours right there.

In his own words, he was not at the Viking Lounge. He had no idea if Amy was captured in any of the footage, because he had to go through it all to find her. If he was in that room, he would know where she was right, because “everybody noticed her.” Where did CF see her in all these moments of her captivating the room if he was in his stateroom the whole time? This is Iva giving him a narrative to sell. Amy as the Sophie Loren of the RotS.

Compare his novelization in NF to his description on his website back in 2010. There’s nothing about her magnetic presence. He doesn’t even bother to start looking through his film until he sees Iva corral Crystal and Lori at 3:00 am Friday morning. In addition, he stalks “Yellow” earlier in the evening and thinks “…he looks kind of creepy.”

He’s a rubbernecker that injected himself into this much like many of the alleged “witnesses.”

The first two images are from Amy Bradley is Missing (around the 7:21 mark) and the last two are from James Renner’s YouTube show True Crime This Week (starts around the 5:33 mark.)

These are not the same two rooms. The first one has the bathroom and bed on the right side, while Renner’s video has the reverse with the bed and bathroom on the left side. ABiM presents the video as if it is Ron Bradley narrating his home video. This could be an editing trick with his voice laid over another video, but I don’t think it is a video sleight of hand gimmick. Could it be reverse imaging? There is video later with Brad sleeping in the bed after the long day in Aruba. Again, it looks like the pullout bed is on the right side of the room.

I know the ship has been renovated since 1998. It’s possible her room as it was when she was was on the cruise no longer exists. The reason it’s important is that the Midnight Mystery host states it was impossible for Amy to have jumped or fallen accidentally, because there’s a lifeboat underneath her balcony. The current photo of the ship shows a lifeboat could be where Amy’s room was or not. Renner’s video goes out on the balcony and it’s a straight drop. Is it roughly the same room or not?

The other issue is the last two photos show the curtains on the balcony doors. How did Ron see Amy’s legs at 4:30-5:30 exactly? Where were the curtains? The reason I ask is most people close their curtains for the night when in a balcony room. Allegedly, the Bradleys two drunk or tipsy twenty somethings (who are famously quiet when returning from a venue playing loud music for hours) go out on the balcony between 3:35-4:00 am. I have never fully accepted that Amy actually ever came back to the room. Ron’s up once in one version telling Amy to turn out the lights. In other versions, he’s up numerous times going down to the disco and bringing the kids back one time, and coming back alone the next time. Iva’s out cold, except when Ron’s telling her he’s going to check on Brad.

To reiterate, the room’s around 243 square feet. Four adults are sharing 2 beds. All of them have been drinking to some degree most of the day and are more exhausted than usual. Depending on how the curtains were positioned there’s ambient light coming in the room from the ocean. Iva’s sleeping through her husband getting up and out of bed numerous times. He’s changing his clothes and putting on shoes to check on Brad in most versions. The front door is being opening numerous times by 3 people. The balcony door which is typically not silent is being opened numerous times as well. Allegedly, the balcony door is left open creating more sound issues as well with front door and the wind coming off the ocean. I don’t think people realize how difficult it would be to sleep through all this like Iva supposedly did for over 3 hours. Even Ron and Brad sleeping supposedly as soundly as they did is difficult to believe.

Many of us have long suspected that the most recent Bradley narrative about Amy’s disappearance has been based on the Liam Neeson 2008 film. Tom had never mentioned this in his previous appearances and interviews. Now after being under Iva‘s influence the last 6 months, he lets it slip that he thinks Amy was “taken” just like in the film that most in the Amy was sex trafficked camp think was a documentary. It was a wildly inaccurate depiction of how the networks work in reality.

In addition, he has so many more details than in his previous major interview from 6 months ago. If I remember correctly, in his original recollection, he “dated” Amy for 2 months from the end of December until the end of February when he moved back to Williamsburg where his family lived. Now, he claims they were still dating when she left for the cruise. They packed in so many activities in that short time frame. They went to Nag’s Head at least twice. They hit the batting cage and golf range numerous times. When they weren’t going to the movies, broadway shows, and doing other adult things. He says Amy had 3 favorite “watering holes“ which is a euphemism for bars. This is down from the five he mentioned in the earlier interview.

Also, he’s much more willing to state they were dating, and he was Amy’s boyfriend. Earlier, he was very cagey and vague about the exact nature of their relationship. He was so cagey, that James Renner characterized it as “friends with benefits,” which I don’t think was accurate with what Tom actually told Renner. I am flabbergasted at how much he remembers about this 2-3 month relationship. It fits a pattern though.

David Carmichael, Judy Maurer, and now Tom have all given new interviews to this “Midnight Mystery” podcast. Their new interviews give much more information and details than they did originally. They are recollecting and remembering events that happened over 28-20 years ago. When they gave their original versions, the events were much more closer to when they allegedly happened. In the case of Carmichael and Maurer, it was supposedly around a year later. This is not how memory works, but this is how creating a narrative works.

In the end, it doesn’t really matter if Tom and Amy were in the middle of a torrid affair or friendly work acquaintances that hung out for a time back in 1998. The timeline that we need more information on is the 3 am to 6 am window on March 24, 1998. Almost a year after the NF documentary dropped, we have not gotten a single new tidbit from that time frame. However, have you heard about “Senorita Kidnapped!” and the two other very important “witnesses” that can corroborate Amy’s disappearance, but unfortunately, they died in 2016 before they could share their earth shattering evidence?
