Intro & Disclaimer
Alright Power Crew, grab your Deloreans—we’re heading straight back to 1998, onto a Royal Caribbean cruise ship where 23-year-old Amy Lynn Bradley vanished without a trace.
Now, let me get this out of the way: this is my opinion and my research. I don’t buy for one second that Amy “fell” or “jumped.” Nope. She was tricked, targeted, and taken. And three men stand out in her final hours:
-
“Yellow” Douglas, the ship’s band member
-
Wayne Bradig, the cabin neighbor
-
Kirk Deweiler, the cruise director
Were they harmless characters in the background—or part of something much darker?
Background on Amy Bradley’s Disappearance
Amy boarded the Rhapsody of the Seas with her parents, Ron and Iva, and brother Brad in March 1998. Within days, she was gone.
Her story is back in the spotlight thanks to Amy Bradley Is Missing on Netflix, but anyone following this case knows the inconsistencies and creepy encounters run much deeper than what the docuseries packaged up.

Okay. Let’s talk suspects.
Suspect #1: “Yellow” the Band Member
Alistister “Yellow” Douglas played bass for the ship’s band Blue Orchid. He admitted Amy complimented his set, talked music, and even danced with him. He claimed he last saw her around 1 AM.
But multiple witnesses saw him with Amy between 5:30–5:45 AM—and one passenger claimed he handed her a drink. Yellow was spotted leaving the upper deck alone after 6 AM.
He passed a polygraph, but his own daughter later said she found a suitcase full of photos of white women after his cruise days. Creepy much? Add in the fact he allegedly told Amy’s brother Brad “sorry about your sister” before the disappearance was announced—yeah, the vibes are off.
Suspect #2: The Cabin Neighbor
Next door to the Bradleys was Wayne Bradig. He had casual balcony conversations with Amy. After she vanished, her mother claimed Wayne cranked his music loud, talking to someone.
Years later, he got busted in South Africa for illegally smuggling leopard hides. So yes—he had ties to smugglers. Bradig also admitted he liked to cruise alone. His interviews give off twitchy, evasive energy.
Was he directly involved? No evidence proves it. But in cases like this, “weird vibes” matter. His proximity to Amy puts him firmly in the circle of suspicion.
Suspect #3: The Cruise Director
And then there’s Kirk Deweiler, the cruise director. The family reported Amy missing to staff early, yet the ship didn’t fully search or stop passengers from disembarking in Curaçao.
Kirk’s own words still echo: “That’s one family’s unfortunate incident, but we still had 2400 people who paid a lot of money. Life goes on.”
Excuse me? That’s your take on a young woman vanishing on your ship? No empathy, no urgency, no accountability. Many—including Amy’s brother Brad—believe Kirk knew more than he let on.
It’s not just callousness; it screams cover-up.
My Theory
I don’t think one man pulled this off. I think it was a network—a trafficking pipeline operating on cruise ships. Photos of passengers went missing. Witnesses later spotted women resembling Amy in Curaçao and Barbados, some whispering her name directly. One FBI-confirmed photo even matched Amy.
And here’s the darkest layer: traffickers are known to impregnate victims, then use their children as leverage. Some eyewitness accounts suggest Amy may have had kids in captivity. If true, that explains why she never ran when seen.
So no, I don’t believe Amy fell overboard. I believe she was taken, hidden, and moved off that ship through a system designed to look the other way.
Closing Thoughts
It’s been 27 years. Families of the missing live in limbo, caught between hope and grief. Amy’s case is proof of how quickly someone can disappear—and how cruise lines prioritize profit over passengers.
Could she still be alive? I believe so. And even if not, the truth is out there—and the cover-ups need to be exposed.
Life may “go on” for cruise directors. But for Amy’s family—and for anyone who has followed her story—it won’t until she’s found.
💬 What’s your take? Do you think Amy was taken in a trafficking ring, or do you lean toward another theory? Drop your thoughts in the comments below—let’s dig in together.
