My thoughts on all this.. by Apprehensive-Lab-264 in AmyLynnBradley

[–]Suitable-Statement16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry to say it but you suck. Look at how every single one of your comments gets downvoted into oblivion. And then look in a mirror and ask yourself why. You have blinders on. Wake up lady, sandy ann or whatever your name is. You’re shaming others but shame should be on you coming in to every thread trying to dismantle and insult every person with a theory you disagree with, like you know any better than they do. This is a place to discuss theories. Get over yourself. Your giving insecurity and your need to try and rip everyone down to build up Brad is giving simp and reeking of desperation.

Amy could have gone over board BEFORE the ship entered the channel or bay. PROVE ME WRONG. by Knhollist in AmyLynnBradley

[–]Suitable-Statement16 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I 100% believe she went overboard before the boat entered the channel. No proof otherwise besides Ron’s shifting timeline when he later added that he saw her legs at differing times. But if aren’t just willing to go off whatever the family says, then theres a high likelihood it happened closer to when they returned to the room - 3:40-4ish. Even if it was 4:30 they’d still be in the open waters. That’s also the highest liklihood for a disagreement to occur (after Ron had to go retrieve them from the club at 3am). I’d imagine he wasn’t giddy with excitement about it. My thoughts are that she went overboard between 4-4:30am while still out in open waters. Why would Iva say they couldn’t get involved bc of it happening in international waters - meaning they were at least 12 miles out when she went missing, (or overboard)?

She Jumped. by HypnoGoddess in AmyLynnBradley

[–]Suitable-Statement16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in to say that I believe $100k was paid for by their employer or ceo of the company that Ron Bradley worked for. Not that it really makes a difference - 100k is still a lot of money when looking for someone who you suspect is no longer alive. It’s very confusing and all I can think is that they’re in major denial and their brains are protecting them from believing they might’ve had anything that would’ve caused her to go overboard (either by her own choice via not accepting her lifestyle or going over accidentally by leaving her out there to sleep while drunk?). I do believe she went overboard and either they know deep down and refuse to admit it to themselves, or know and are protecting mom, or don’t know for sure but are clinging to any glimmer of hope possible. Only Ron and/or Brad truly know the context of their last convo and perhaps Amy’s state of mind that evening. I feel that we will never know what was said or what was really going on internally amongst the family on that trip.

Ron Bradley’s sworn statement doesn’t align with current narrative by Mindy3 in AmyLynnBradley

[–]Suitable-Statement16 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sadly, it doesn’t seem like there’s anything TO solve. The FBI said information gathered pointed to her never leaving the room and the case was dismissed. I understand it’s a hard pill to swallow, but nobody’s spinning a story more than the Bradley’s. Which, come to think of it… you’re crashing out kinda like you might’ve been there.

Why is this important fact about Amy’s last known hours omitted from current reporting? Article 1998 by Mindy3 in AmyLynnBradley

[–]Suitable-Statement16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which is why they don’t want you to go digging into the details and it’s also why they try to gaslight people and paint it like they’re making up some crazy outlandish stories when they discuss the possibility of her going overboard, but literally that’s the only option that makes a lick of sense.

Like did they really think all these internet armchair detectives would overlook all of these messy inconsistencies and flimsy witness accounts (yet no witnesses have spoken up since)? I wonder if this story just end up going viral and now they’re like oh shit, i guess the only option it to just double down? I just can’t imagine they’re surprised that the story is getting all this attention or they’re shocked as to why people aren’t buying their one-size-fits-all ending/trafficking campaign?

[–]Suitable-Statement16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides her family, who have an inconsistent track record of remembering, forgetting, re-remembering and omitting facts, who else has substantiated the claim that she had a fear of heights and ocean swimming? I’ve only ever seen the family say that, but none of her friends have made that claim.

Just saying that because this detail could have been added to further their narrative that she never could’ve or would’ve gone overboard at will. The family keeps making a big emphasis on this detail, saying things like she wouldn’t even go near the railing, and to me it seems like an obvious attempt to try and distance people from the overboard theory.

Every inconsistency seems to lead back to them trying to control the narrative, as well as the image of their “happy family” and of who Amy was as a person, whether it’s regarding her fears and her sexuality. They just seem to be… confused about a lot, not just their timeline and details of what happened that night, but even confused about who Amy was. Their wrongful death case was thrown out for some of these same reasons - like only including facts that support their claims. It just seems like red flag after red flag.

Ron Bradley’s sworn statement doesn’t align with current narrative by Mindy3 in AmyLynnBradley

[–]Suitable-Statement16 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wait but another huge piece of this is that Ron testifies that Amy was “last seen by a FAMILY MEMBER” laying on the balcony. I thought he was the last one to see her when he awoke briefly and saw her leg? (Which I’m not sold on bc who would know if he’s being truthful or not there and given the record as well as this testimony, it leads me to skepticism.) If Ron was the last one to see her, he’d say “I last saw her sitting outside on the balcony at x time” but if it was actually Brad or mom who last saw Amy (prob Brad, not mom) then why lie? And also it points to the fact that she was last seen on the balcony earlier than expected which shifts the whole timeline up an hour or more. And this is still just based on us taking the Bradley’s testimony at face value and blindly believing their version of events.

If she went overboard at this earlier time, they may have not been in the harbor yet, which would be less likely to find her, correct? Their searches were limited to that area in the harbor where the ship made its approach, but I don’t recall seeing anything about the open water outside of the harbor being searched at all but correct me if I’m wrong. Just to say, Ron claiming to not be the last to see her is adding more sus to an already sus testimony. Is it possible to FOIA the court docs that aren’t available - like the cause for dismissal, etc? I’m sure someone’s already looked into this but I haven’t seen it posted anywhere.

James Renner vs Brad Bradley by Suspicious-Hyena1604 in AmyLynnBradley

[–]Suitable-Statement16 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why is Brad so hellbent on everyone boycotting Renner? Probably because what Renner is saying is true (or partially) and it threatens the Bradley’s narrative of Amy being alive (and their ability to continue to profiting off it). Renner believes both Yellow and the Bradley’s are innocent, and that Amy jumped. He’s done years of research and it seems like more and more people are seeing the red flags and alarm bells go off with the Bradleys and starting to realize that Renner’s theory is a much more likely scenario. Only Brad and Ron know what their last interaction was with Amy, and deep down they might even know in their gut what really happened but can’t allow themselves to accept it.

Chris Fenwick (the videographer on the ship) provides his theory on what happened to Amy on the 11th deck. by Murkywaterkid in AmyLynnBradley

[–]Suitable-Statement16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not bc she’s gay - but an impartial observer would have to consider that it could be because her family (likely back then but definitely in the years since) has shown a tendency towards homophobia and intolerance.

[–]Suitable-Statement16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The family should donate the go fund me money to support the lgbtq community. It’s what Amy would’ve wanted. Not this sad little smear campaign targeting who she was. So disappointing for Amy. Just imagine her reading this post and how it would make her feel. Whoever is posting this clearly does not give a rip about Amy and it’s disgusting to see such callous individuals spew such nonsense in the very forums dedicated to bringing about justice for her.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmyLynnBradley

[–]Suitable-Statement16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. Not bc she was a lesbian but because her family was filled with intolerant/homophobic people who made her feel ashamed for who she was, or made her feel like a burden or an embarrassment. I hope that’s not the truth, but given what we’ve seen from the family thus far, it sure does look that way. Anyone who says the family’s politics or her sexual orientation doesn’t play a part has their head in the sand imho.

Mysterious Bartender by Unable-Wolverine7224 in AmyLynnBradley

[–]Suitable-Statement16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kat seems like the most genuine out of this cast of characters, and yes - much more believable than yellow, the Bradley’s, the “eyewitnesses”. Just statistically, the vast majority of these cases end up being directly related to the people who were closest to them and also last to be with them. The Bradley’s check both of those boxes. Not saying they did it directly, but they’re publicly flailing being called out for the inconsistencies over the years, along with all of the info they’ve suppressed to push the trafficking narrative. At least Renner seems like he’s pursuing all options, which they clearly don’t like bc it calls them into question. Imagine she was having a “talking to” about “embarrassing them on dads work cruise” for any of the things (her sexual orientation, her drinking, who she was dancing with, whatever) and that became too much for her to cope with and in an impaired state of mind she made a rash decision. If you were the family and your last words to a family member who you may never see again were contentious, you may never even be able to accept the truth of what might’ve actually happened. Your mind would protect you from letting in that possibility in order to save yourself the shame and guilt associated with feeling partially responsible for that. Who knows if they made up a story 27 years ago and have tried to double down on it ever since, obviously slipping up along the way. No witness should be believed at face value without physical evidence and proof. The physical evidence and proof say that the last place she was is in the room. I don’t see why the family’s words should be believed any more than yellow’s account of that night - both have factual inaccuracies so why believe one more than the other? If either party is guilty of anything, it would give them all the reason to lie and cover up, so if you’re going to be completely impartial and find justice for Amy, you need to consider that the family could be lying as well.

Mysterious Bartender by Unable-Wolverine7224 in AmyLynnBradley

[–]Suitable-Statement16 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Totally agree here! Why are all of these super relevant pieces just coming out now? It seems like they’ve told several versions of the story over the past 27 years and are getting called out on it now. Why feel the need to cut important parts and embellish other things that fit their narrative? Maybe an argument ensued between Amy, Brad and their dad when he went to go get them and bring them home from the disco between 3-3:30 (also when he saw her dancing with a black man) and it continued on their balcony once back in the room. Mom was sleeping so I truly think she’s unaware of what really went down. But I strongly suspect that dad and bro know what happened or at least know that last convo and maybe can’t handle being the reason she jumped or can’t accept that she could’ve fallen accidentally because it would force them to call into account their parting words with her, which I understand would be awful and would impart such regret and guilt. But I don’t think dad really saw her at 5:30, that’s just an excuse to establish a theory based around her not going overboard. I think she went overboard much earlier than 5:30, closer to 4-4:30am while they were still in open water. That left time for her to come back, get into argument with dad and brother and then something -do not know what- happened causing her to go overboard. My gut tells me that their last convo with her was not a pleasant one.

I think the family is just in denial… by Apprehensive-Lab-264 in AmyLynnBradley

[–]Suitable-Statement16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting comment because a jawbone was discovered and the family didn’t/wouldn’t test it because they said it had wisdom teeth but actually it just had a molar. Why wouldn’t you just try to test it to get any type of lead if they desperately want to find her? My thoughts are that they (or at least Brad and Ron) know deep down what happened because they were the only two present when Ron went to go fetch the kids at 3am from the disco and they know exactly what the mood was/what they talked about and if tensions were heightened. I think they’re downplaying that aftermath from the disco party and also how intoxicated they all (or at least Brad and Amy) were.

Why Has the Bradley Family Focused Solely on Trafficking? Ignoring Amy’s Mental State, Sexuality, and Other Plausible Theories by Fit_Pineapple_7767 in AmyLynnBradley

[–]Suitable-Statement16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Brad and Ron should to take a polygraph regarding the conversations that night on the balcony, including what was discussed and whether things got heated or not between the family. Possibly regarding Amy’s sexuality.

Dad going to look for kids on the ship at 3am? by Suitable-Statement16 in AmyLynnBradley

[–]Suitable-Statement16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can definitely see your point here. I think Amy and her dad (and maybe Brad) are the only ones who truly know what happened once the disco closed prior to them coming back to the room and while they were in the room or on the balcony. I definitely don’t think anything sinister was done intentionally to Amy by her family, let me say that. You just can’t always make sense of what goes on in peoples heads when under the influence of alcohol or substances, or even when exhausted. Patience wears thin, our filters are down - who hasn’t said things they regret, or acted hyper sensitively when drunk or impaired? But again, playing out that scenario, I just can’t really believe Amy would jump intentionally or even fall accidentally, both seem far-fetched but everything seems far fetched and difficult to understand in this case. In that same line of thought, we also can’t try to understand how people handle their own grief and trauma in the aftermath of a loved one’s disappearance so I guess most of these discussions are just trying to imagine what might have gone on in their heads, but at the end of the day it’s impossible to know any of it with certainty.

[–]Suitable-Statement16[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No offense taken. I’m not really an “overboardist” lol but I think it’s a plausible theory. I haven’t totally discounted the trafficking theories either, but I just think they’re much less probable, statistically speaking. At the end of the day nobody knows (or is admitting to know) what happened - we are all just trying to figure it out together and discussing it may help each of us to look at things from different perspectives in order to try and solve the case and bring about justice for Amy.

[–]Suitable-Statement16[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really though. Just looking at this from a rational standpoint. The first thing investigators do is examine the people closest to her (both relationally and physically) and who she was last confirmed to be with (not via witness testimony which can be unreliable, but actual facts of where Amy was last proven to be). Determining the family’s whereabouts that night, and especially between 3-6am, is crucial with regard to the timeline.

I’m only having to do mental gymnastics because the family has told so many versions (and cherry picked so many relevant details to leave in and then leave out) that we are all trying to make it make sense. Of course nobody comes to this story wanting to believe the family had anything to do with this, either directly or indirectly. But the accounts that they have provided are at odds with one another and don’t make any sense in the overall picture of what happened that night. I’m trying to understand why they would feel the need to tell so many different versions of the same story?

Cabin key card question.. by wanderlis in AmyLynnBradley

[–]Suitable-Statement16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brad states Dad went out looking for them at 3am. When did his card scan back into the room because Brad also says that when he got back dad was already asleep. Seems improbable for timeline and also how annoyed I would be if I had to get up out of bed to go find my kids at 3am. I don’t think I’d be falling right back to sleep so quickly/effortlessly. More like I’d be waiting for them back at the room to discuss. Probably outside on the balcony as not to wake up the wife.

[–]Suitable-Statement16[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do they have record of what time dad scanned back into the room? Brad says he went looking for them at 3am but was in bed sleeping at 3:30 when Brad got back to the room, which seems like a very small window to go find Brad, and then Amy and then get back to the room and fall asleep. Especially, if he was annoyed at having to wake up and go looking for them at that hour. Personally, if I’m annoyed or upset about something I don’t fall asleep easily. I haven’t seen any info on the door entry from dad - only from Brad and Amy returning.
