AMY BRADLEY--RUMORED SIGHTING IN BARBADOS!



WHAT AMY MAY LOOK LIKE NOW




The first sketch is that of an individual who was seen in Barbados in March of 2005 and believed to have resembled Amy Bradley. The second sketch is that of man who was thought to have been with the woman who resembled Bradley.

The FBI is seeking information regarding the identity of these two individuals. They may have information about the disappearance of Amy Bradley in 1998.

The first Unknown Male (#1) has been described as White; in his late 30's or early 40's; between 5'11" and 6'1"; balding; with red hair and a red beard. The second Unknown Male (#2) has been described as being in his early 30's; approximately 5'11"; with dark, wavy, shoulder length hair.

Background on Amy Bradley

Born May 12, 1974

Missing since March 24, 1998 from the Rhapsody of the Seas cruise ship while vacationing with her family. The ship was en route to Curacao, Antilles at the time Amy was last seen. The ship docked in Curacao shortly after Amy was discovered missing.

Three men who worked on the cruise ship befriended Amy and said they wanted to take her to a bar in Aruba. 

There are confirmed reports of a sighting by a Naval officer one year after Amy disappeared. The officer told the FBI he went to a brothel in Curacao in 1999. He said an American girl leaned in and said: "My name is Amy Bradley I need your help." Unfortunately he didn't report the sighting for some time and by then the brothel had burned to the ground.

According to the Naval officer at that time, two men in the bar removed her and told her to move and go upstairs. (source)

Two Canadians also told Bradley they saw her daughter Amy on the beach in 1998, described her tattoos and her demeanor but did not know she was missing. (source)

Incidentally, former suspect, Steve Croes of the Natalee Holloway case was working on the same cruise ship when Amy Bradley disappeared. Click here for my December, 2005 article with private investigator Rich Strom regarding this curious 'coincidence'.

Barbados will not tolerate any modern forms of slavery

As Barbados and the rest of the world celebrates the 200th Anniversary of the abolition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade in Britain, we must ensure that anyone practicing modern forms of slavery will feel the full weight of the law.

Citing an example, Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office and Member of Parliament for St. Michael West, Reverend Joseph Atherley, stated that Government had the duty to crack down on the practice of human trafficking in Barbados. He noted that there are instances in which people from Europe and elsewhere in the Caribbean are being manipulated and tricked into coming to Barbados, where they are often forced to engage in prostitution.

He also mentioned that some 250 million children world-wide are forced to engage in child labour, and that instances where people were grossly underpaid for their work, which he referred to as wage slavery, were other issues we had to grapple with 200 years after the abolition of the slave trade.

During his contribution to the debate on the resolution to commemorate the occasion in the House of Assembly, Atherley also came out in support of reparations. He noted that in 1807, the British Government paid slave owners 20 million pounds in compensation for loss of property, and that Haiti had to pay reparations to France for 100 years following its declaration of independence from France in 1804.

Atherley also quoted Lord Gifford, who described the slave trade as a crime against humanity, and stated that the hardships many descendants of Africans faced today were a direct consequence of that period in our history.

The MP for St. Michael West also called on Barbados to stay away from "polarising politics", which divided countries along racial lines, stating that this practice had created major problems in other Caribbean countries over the years.
