Okay, now we're on the verge of some good gossip
So far there's not much new info but I have high hopes.
So far there's not much new info but I have high hopes.
If we assume that Amy went overboard, whether by accident, suicide or due to foul play (or, for that matter, if she was murdered on-board and her remains somehow hidden or smuggled off the ship)... then what's going on with the various sightings? The beach, the bathroom, the brothel...
Do we believe the people involved actually had these experiences, but simply misidentified Amy as the girl they saw? Or are they making up these stories out of whole cloth? And if so, why?
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.”
From the original post:
>Stacie and Amy would regularly go to a gay bar in Richmond called “Babes of Carytown” The first time they went, Stacie, who was not out at the time, was nervous about being seen going into a “gay bar”. Not Amy. She did not give a rat’s ass what anyone thought about her. Stacie states: ''I have always envied this about her—her “I don’t give a f&@k” attitude.''
>Brad even came along to ''Babes'' once. Flattered by the attention he received, he would play along and then politely turn the guys down. Just like his big sister, he didn’t care what people thought of him either.
That wording. Usually when you say "would" when referring to the past, you're referring to repeated events. Not a one-time gay bar visit. And usually straight guys don't flirt with men.
My thoughts:
Amy and Brad come back to the cabin and hang out on the balcony chatting until around 4am (about 20 minutes, according to Brad). Brad goes to bed. Amy is feeling a bit off due to a combination of being out in port, having gotten some sun, having some drinks, and a tad of motion sickness. (Alternate additional theory, if Yellow did have anything to do with it and the “witness” is telling the truth, perhaps he spiked her drink earlier, hoping to get her drugged to take advantage but she left too soon.) She wants to stay outside and cool off and get a little air and have a smoke.
After a bit, she has to go to the bathroom and leaves the patio door open since she’ll only be gone a minute and will be right back. On the way to the bathroom, she pulls off her yellow shirt (Brad said she had it on when they were sitting on the balcony together) because she’s hot and throws it on the chair inside.
Comes back from the bathroom and wants to have another smoke, but knows she’s only having a few puffs and doesn’t want to wake anybody up by shutting the balcony door. Still a bit peaked, wanting a bit more air, she leans up against the curve of the side of the balcony and puts her foot up on the chair or table and pushes herself up a bit so she can feel the breeze and put the cigarette smoke further out so it doesn’t come inside the cabin with the door open.
The railings were shorter back then than they are now, so a few inches makes the difference with center of balance. Loses her balance (maybe the ship rocks, maybe a wave of seasick, maybe if her drink was spiked it really kicked in)… and she simply falls off. It happened quickly, even if she did let out a scream, it might’ve taken a few seconds to register and by then she was already many feet down and the sound of the waves covered it up.
This is literally the most simplistic Occam’s Razor. No puking involved (I know a lot of people ask why there was no puke on the railing if she stepped or kneeled on the table; I don’t believe she did that).
I think that the curve of the balcony would fit a body quite perfectly, and it would be natural to hitch yourself up a bit with your foot on the chair to get further up without actually truly fully sitting on the railing. Seems safer, but just the wrong movement…
(The bottom balcony picture is one I got from a YouTube video of a cabin on the same ship, 7th floor, same cabin category, same side of the ship, taken in 1999, so I feel like it would be nearly identical to Amy’s.)
A new post from the always-entertaining LF sub!
More Proof Yellow Was Asking Other Girls to Get Off the Ship!
I simply can't get enough of the LF posts and comments. The bass player enlisted key members of the restaurant staff to band together with the goal of abducting as many young women as they can lure off the ship. Their success rate? One.
Good thing they all kept their day jobs.
>The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the recovery of Amy Lynn Bradley and information that leads to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the person(s) responsible for her disappearance.
I did some research to verify that I'm reading the above text correctly. I think the below interpretation is correct, but lmk if you have evidence that it's not.
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to:
Your information has to meet all 4 of the above criteria.
I think there would be no reward in any of the following circumstances:
Amy ran away and is found alive. Since she wasn't abducted, no one can be identified, arrested, and convicted.
Amy was abducted and is found alive:
--- You can't identify those responsible.
--- You can identify those responsible but doesn't know their current location so they can't be arrested.
--- Her abductors can be found but jurisdiction issues, lack of witnesses willing to testify, or not enough probable cause, etc. prevent their arrest.
--- Her abductors were arrested but weren't convicted (due to lack of evidence, mistrial, etc.)
--- Her abductors are dead so they can't be arrested or convicted.
--- Accidentally.
--- Purposely threw herself overboard.
--- No cause of her drowning could be determined.
--- You can't identify those responsible.
--- You can identify them but not locate them so they can't be arrested.
--- They can be arrested but can't be convicted.
--- The perpetrators are dead.
--- It's determined that there was no foul play involved in her disappearance. For example, she ran away.
--- No one could determine if foul play was involved in her disappearance. (Even if foul play was involved in her later death, it wasn't necessarily committed by the same people. For example, she ran away and years later someone gave her an overdose of drugs.)
--- There's evidence that foul play was involved in her disappearance, but you can't identify the perpetrators.
--- You can identify but not locate them, so there's no arrest.
--- They're arrested but not convicted.
--- The perpetrators are dead.
Amy or her remains are found, foul play was involved in her disappearance, they were identified, arrested, and convicted — but your info only led to one or some of those outcomes. For example, you found the remains but someone else figured out that foul play was involved. Maybe another person identified them. Another knew their location. Another provided info that was used to convict them. Maybe your info led to all except one of these things. Still no reward.
Neither Amy nor her remains are ever found.
--- Even if all the other conditions are met.
There are an awful lot of situations wherein no reward would be paid.
Seriously. Like RC has nothing better to do than to pay random Reddit users to push the "overboard theory” or to discredit the family/witnesses. The company was worth about $6B when Amy went missing. As of today the company is worth about $87B and has the highest market cap of any cruise line. The Bradley’s were basically laughed out of court due to blatantly lying/withholding evidence and had both of their suits against RC thrown out. They aren’t even allowed to say “Royal Caribbean” on video, which Brad has mentioned before in interviews. Listen, I feel terrible for the family and I think everyone would agree that they deserve closure, but pointing out discrepancies and inconsistencies in their story doesn’t make anyone a paid RC shill. It’s honestly comical.
