Investigator Claims Amy Bradley Was Abducted and Sold into Trafficking
16 Nov
Summary
- Private investigator believes Amy Bradley was abducted, not a tragic accident
- Suspect named as musician Alistair Douglas, who was seen with Amy before her disappearance
- Witness claims seeing Amy with a "dark drink" before she vanished from the cruise ship
In November 2025, a private investigator named Jim Carey is speaking out about the disappearance of Amy Bradley, which occurred over 27 years ago in March 1998. Carey, a retired American police officer, has spent the last four years retracing Amy's final hours aboard the Rhapsody Of The Seas cruise ship.
Carey claims the Netflix documentary "Amy Bradley Is Missing" omitted crucial details and set back his investigation. He is certain that Amy was abducted and sold into sexual trafficking, rather than falling or jumping overboard as some have speculated. Carey believes a musician named Alistair Douglas, who was part of the ship's house band, was involved in Amy's disappearance.
According to Carey, security on the cruise ship in 1998 was lax, allowing people who were not passengers to board. He claims Douglas drugged Amy and helped remove her from the ship, possibly with the help of a "buyer" waiting below. Carey says a witness saw Douglas take a "dark drink" to Amy shortly before she vanished.
Carey also names a police clerk in Curacao, Herman Goilo, as a key figure. Goilo claimed in 1999 and again in 2024 that he had seen Amy alive, but refused to provide more details. Carey believes Amy was held captive on Curacao and then trafficked through other Dutch Caribbean islands.
Despite extensive searches and investigations over the years, Amy's fate remains a mystery. Carey is determined to continue searching, hoping to provide the Bradley family with closure, even if it means uncovering new horrors.
