Out there. Beyond the coastline. Human laws don't apply. Nature rules, and so do the people willing to exploit that lawlessness. Strange things happen out on open water. Ships vanish without a trace. Signals go dead. Bodies watch ashore with no explanations. And every so often, a piece of footage or a distress call slips through that was never meant to be found. The ocean keeps secrets better than anything else on Earth. But every now and then, it spits one back out. Make sure to like the video and subscribe to the channel.

The Massacre at Sea. A video is posted to YouTube, gaining thousands of views. People are calling it fake, questioning its authenticity, and no one wants to believe what they're watching. is true. The user who posted the video explains its origins. She was a taxi driver working in the Fijian city of Suva, and at the end of her shift, she discovered a cell phone was left in the back seat. Hoping to find some identifying information, she checked the phone's contents. While there was no information on the owner's identity, on the camera roll, was a video. One so jarring,

So disturbing. She just had to post it. The bright daytime sun highlights the grainy 10-minute video, shot from the deck of a large ship sailing across the ocean. Maybe a fishing or military vessel. She wasn't sure. In the water, a small fishing boat is floating, capsized. Four men cling to the wooden sides, trying to communicate with the larger vessel. They lift their hands as if to look,

intimidating, but the ship is not here to aid the sinking men. In order is shouted across the deck. In a then unknown language, shoot, shoot, shoot. A bullet is fired, then another and another. Dozens and dozens over the 10-minute video. Red clouds of blood swell in the murky blue water. The only thing we hear is the systematic pattering of gunfire. When finally the men are dead, the cameraman turns his phone around, posing gleefully with his fellow crewman, celebrating the bloodshed. The men in the water hadn't put up a fight. They were begging for mercy. Mercy they would not receive.

And then the video just ended. And the questions began. It couldn't be real, right? This had to be from a movie set. The story of how the footage was found was unreal. Surely it was just another hoax. But to the horror of many, it wasn't. The video was certifiably authentic.

And shortly after the video was posted, it was quickly taken down. By that time, law enforcement agencies all over the world had gotten word of the massacre at sea. And a new, more pressing question emerged. Who had murdered the helpless fishermen so coldly? and where, in the wide open ocean, had they done it? In order to gather the necessary resources to launch a multinational investigation, Interpol would need to bring attention to the case, more attention than YouTube was able to provide. So they decided to launch a guerrilla campaign, hoping to rile up the masses in support of their investigation,

and hopefully get some experienced people on the team to hunt down these calloused murders. In 2017, the Outlaw Ocean Project, a non-profit organization, with a focus on maritime crime, received a chilling email from a source at Interpol, titled, Brace Yourself. Investigative journalist Ian Urbina, then working for the New York Times, received the video and was shocked. He'd been reporting on crimes at sea for over 15 years and had never encountered one so terrifyingly, casual. He spent much of his career covering the horrible conditions of the fishing industry, the long hours, the scarcely safe working environments, and the people who operate them. And from what we see all over the world today, fishing can be in especially lawless occupation.

The workers are often spending days at sea, away from land. Many are undocumented, underpaid, and from underdeveloped. nations. It's a well-known fact that many companies abuse the cheap labor costs for fishermen and the dangers that come with their oversaturation and lack of government oversight make fishermen especially vulnerable. And for those working in Asia, the danger is much more devastating because the fishing industry in Asia has a massive problem. You see, most people don't realize that a lot of the low-cost labor that happens today, especially overseas, is slave labor. Most people believe slavery died in 1865 when the United States ratified the 13th Amendment, but that simply isn't true. It isn't

even true for our own country today. Today, there are more slaves than any other time in history, with an estimated 40 million people currently living in modern slavery, with 59% of those slaves being in the Asian Pacific. And that isn't to say the United States or any other nation for that matter gets out unscathed here in the u.s alone we have an estimated one million people who are functionally enslaved that is to say this isn't a hit piece but it is unacceptable that there are more slaves living on earth today than people living in the state of california it's disgusting and cruel and beyond comprehension in the fishing industry hosts a startling 116,000 currently enslaved workers, and those are just the ones we know about, the ones we've documented.

Most real-world estimates would see that number doubled, tripled or quadrupled for accuracy. So what does this look like? Well, typically, migrant fishermen are brought out onto a boat with the promise of legal work and become indebted to the captains or fishery owners, who charge them for travel, food, and lodging on the boat. They're then forced to pay off their ever-growing debts before they can ever disembark. But none of these workers are paid enough to do so. If they do not meet quota, they are not paid.

If they collapse from exhaustion, they are not paid. Victims are isolated out on the open ocean for months at a time, and if they refuse to work, they are threatened, beaten, or murdered. Now, this entire case isn't about slavery, but keep in mind, these are the conditions we're looking at. In these cases aren't rare. The ocean is a wild west of sorts. It has been that way for thousands of years, and it remains lawless even today. So, investigator Ian Arvanna spoke with the Fijian government, who confirmed that, from what they could tell,

the murdered fishermen were not Fijian. The men on the ship were not Fijian, so their interest in pursuing the case had come to an end. The fact of the matter was, if it didn't concern them, they weren't going to dedicate resources to helping the investigation. So he began on his own. His first advantage was one he wasn't accustomed to. Video evidence. Normally on these types of ships, phones are confiscated from the workers, so they can't document any of the criminal activity that takes place in international. waters. But the murderers were careless, and their eagerness to record the brutal massacre of the

fisherman gave Ian the perfect head start. Upon watching the footage for the first time, he immediately recognized at least three or four different languages being spoken. If he could identify them, this would narrow down the search, perhaps lead to a couple of host countries. But the nature of the industry made this more of a Hail Mary than an actual lead. Captains and crews are often outsourced from multiple different countries. This is the industry standard. A Vietnamese captain could be running a ship for the Chinese with crewmen from Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, etc. And most of these workers would be undocumented, underpaid, or working under the table.

At best, identifying the languages could lead them to a host country, or at least to the sea it was sailing on. worst it would go nowhere. While his team worked to identify the languages, he decided to scrub the footage. Over months, he watched it countless times, looking for any clues hidden in the grainy footage, and eventually, he noticed something. Another ship, floating idly in the background. This meant that the ship we saw in the video, the one that had gunned down the fisherman, wasn't alone. Most likely, it was a part of a fleet. After careful analysis, he was able to make out part of an identification number painted on the boat's side. Just a couple numbers, but it was enough.

By this time, there was no need to identify the languages. With the help of an industry resource, he had identified the ship in the background, Chun E. 217, a tuna long-line vessel operating out of type. After scouring through the corporate records, he landed on the company of ownership and got in contact with his CEO. When asked if he knew anything about the incident, shockingly, the CEO said, yes. The captain who orchestrated the killings had told the CEO about the incident personally, claiming the fishermen were pirates and had even filled out paperwork to allegedly give to law enforcement. When it asked for the name of the captain, or the name of the ship, the CEO refused.

But what about the ship that had witnessed the killings? He asked if he could speak with that captain instead. But the CEO claimed they were out at sea and weren't available to speak on that matter. The government agencies in Taiwan that oversaw fisheries were even less willing to assist in the investigation. Claiming that, in that video, the larger ship was defending itself against pirates. But this narrative didn't make sense with what investigators had seen. One of the strongest cases was the style of boat, a doe, which is a common fishing vessel in Southeast Asia. These boats are notoriously slow, so why would pirates choose to raid a much larger ship on a relatively small?

and slow boat. Not to mention, the men weren't carrying any visible weapons in the video. Well, no. Despite what the Taiwanese government was saying, these were not Somali pirates. These were innocent fishermen. And that's another problem with these types of ocean crimes. When governments investigate them, it isn't to catch a killer. It's to clear their own names. No nation wants the responsibility of adopting a massacre. There's even a term for it, the Maritime Marrygo Round. And for the Outlaw Ocean Project, who wanted nothing but justice for the slain men, they were left unaided, with no obvious path forward. So without government cooperation and silence on the Taiwanese front, how were they ever going to bring the murderers to justice?

Well, like I said earlier, they had to bring the massacre to the public theater. And that's exactly what they did. On July 20, 2015, a scathing article hit the front page of the New York Times titled Murder at Sea, Captured on Video, but Killers Go Free. In the article, Ian blows the whistle on the lax government regulations surrounding oceanic crimes all over the world. the armament of fishing vessels in the name of defense, and the mysterious and secretive treatments of the massacre itself. News outlets took the story and ran with it, churning up hundreds of tips across multiple nations and behind them a tidal force of outrage. People wanted answers,

and a couple of years after the article was published, they would get them. Shortly after the article hit the mainstream, a man named Duncan Copeland got in touch with the Ocean Outlaw Project, and it turns out, he too was looking into the case. And Ian's article had caught his attention. You see, Duncan ran a company called Tregmat tracking, or TMT for short. What Sherlock Holmes is to England, TMT is to Maritime Crime, essentially the CIA of Fishing Intelligence, which is a very niche company to own, but these guys are no joke. Duncan himself is ex-military, and after decades of research and insider tips, he and his co-owners had amassed an enormous database, videos of ships, records, logs, serial numbers,

and countries of origins, plus years and years of merry time and military experience. The Ocean Law Project and TMT began a partnership, and with their combined resources, they resolved to stop at nothing. until the men responsible were behind bars. Over months, the teams painstakingly analyzed the footage, taking it apart frame by frame, each one containing a new piece of the puzzle, the mast, the deck, the bow, and they used all of these pieces to construct a ship. Most vessels do have similar unique features, said Duncan. For Outlaw Ocean, we were able to count the number of

ports and part of the boat and so on. With this information, they compared their data against 3,000 images of 300 ships. And through this painstaking work, they had narrowed it down to two possible vessels. But one vessel in particular gave the team pause. The Ping Shin 101. A couple of months before the massacre was posted to YouTube, the Ping Shin 101, was part of another violent encounter, where they attempted to ram a small fishing boat at full speed. Thankfully, their attempt wasn't successful, but if it had been, all of the men on these smaller boats would have been killed.

The Pingshin 101 was larger than most ships on the water, and more importantly, they had a video of the event. taken from the deck of the Ping Shin 101. And just like the massacre video, the men were celebrating the brutality, reveling in the chase to kill a small crew of innocent men. These men weren't documenting a crime. They were documenting a hunt, and they were the same men seen killing the fishermen. So who were these men?

who had killed countless innocents in their pursuit of, what is it to them? Entertainment? Well, they were on the ship to be exactly that, a band of killers, mercenaries, hired by the fishing company to protect their cargo from pirates by any means necessary. And like I said earlier, when you're sailing on the open ocean for months at a time, there is no law. Not really. No police, no military, no nothing. It's a dog-eat-dog world, and these men, armed to the teeth, served as judge, jury, and executioner. For anyone, they deemed a threat. On a ship like the Pynchin 101, they had all the power, the weapons, the pay, the brute force to enact any policy they wanted.

including kill on site or kill for the hell of it. Now this was a step in the right direction, but another problem emerged. The Ping Chin 101 sank in 2014. Without a ship, identifying the crewman responsible or the captain, for that matter, would be very difficult. And it would have been impossible if it weren't for social media. The investigators figured if there were two videos taken from the deck of the Pingshin 101, there were bound to be others. These men, from what it seemed, were something like amateur videographers.

If they spent enough time on social media, eventually they hoped one of them would turn up. And they were right. Through tireless searches and surveillance across the internet, they were able to track down one of the crewmen that were on board the, Ping Shin 101, a man called Maximo, whose testimony changed the trajectory of the entire case, because Maximo was there the day of the massacre. He can be seen in the video, celebrating with the other crewman, wearing the black hang 10 shirt. He confirmed everything the investigators believed up to that point. The slain of the innocent fisherman was not in self-exempted.

defense, they knew the men weren't pirates, and this behavior wasn't rare. In fact, it was actually encouraged by one man, the captain, Wang Fang Yu. He had a long history of captaining fishing and cargo vessels and an even longer record of abuse against crewmen, other ships, and fishermen. In the video footage, another crewman later identified, be heard refusing to shoot the fishermen. They're Muslim. I can't, says the man. In response, the captain then grabs the gun and shoots them himself. No remorse, no second thoughts, an instinct for brutality and a lust for blood. This man, above all else, was responsible for the massacre. And unfortunately, he knew it. Wang Fen

was privy to the growing interest in his old vessel, the Pengxin 101, and decided to go underground. For four years, he evaded capture, working on fishing vessels illegally, as an undocumented captain. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop breaking the law. In 2018, he was captaining a ship called the Indian Star, and in four short years, he had racked up several charges of forging documents. and fishing illegally in restricted seas. When the ship made port, he was then promptly arrested. On January 21, 2021, Wang Fenyu was finally charged with four counts of homicide

for the four confirmed deaths in the original Fijian camera footage and possession of an illegal weapon. He is currently serving a 26-year sentence. But the case isn't over yet. there were other men too who pulled the triggers that killed the fishermen, namely two Pakistani men who have never been identified. Today, none of the victims have ever been identified. No bodies recovered, no funerals, no burials, and today, the question still remains. Who were the men who lost their lives in those cold ocean waters? Did they have families, friends, children?

What did they look like? Were they missed? In thinking of these men, perhaps there's some solace for the poor, nameless souls who lost their lives to the Pingxing 101. Even though we don't know their names, at least one of their killers has faced justice. Amy Lynn Bradley Now, for those of you who are familiar with this case, like I am, you're probably thinking to yourself, Snook, why are you covering

Amy Lynn Bradley? Hasn't this mystery been covered to death? And you'd be right to ask that, dear viewer. But I'm here to tell you that in the past three months, there have been some big, big developments that are so groundbreaking, so

ridiculously shocking, that I'd be an idiot not to cover it. So for those of you who are familiar with the case, buckle in because this story just got a whole lot darker. And for those of you who aren't as familiar, well, let's start at the beginning. March 23rd, 1998, the Caribbean Sea.

A cruise ship, the Rhapsody of the Seas, is making the eight-hour journey from Aruba to Curacao. The waters are bright and calm, and a family of four is walking by the sparkling deckside pool and joining the sun. Earlier in the year, father Ron Bradley, who worked as an executive for an insurance company, had met all of his quotas, and quickly too. Employees were incentivized with a number of prizes. The top prize was in all expenses paid crews. Ron liked the idea of taking his family on a trip, especially on the company dime.

He worked tirelessly to achieve it, and so he did. At first, not everyone in the family was a lot of the family. as excited as Ron, notably his daughter, Amy Lynn Bradley, was less than overjoyed. Amy was on the precipice of her adult life. About a year earlier, she graduated from Longwood University, which she attended on a full scholarship for basketball. She loved sports. Basketball had been a childhood passion, and through her career in high school, she landed a four-year ride to study her preferred field, netting a degree in sports psychology and physical education. But after college, she wasn't working in sports. She had taken up a part-time job serving tables for Ruth's Chris

Steakhouse, but it wasn't her passion. She was a young woman trying to figure out what she wanted. And soon, she'd be working at a computer consulting firm to bring in a little more cash. When Amy was presented with the family vacation, she was initially reluctant. She was terrified of heights and was nervous to board such a large ship with so many stories. That and being on the open ocean scared her. She was a Virginia girl. She liked having her feet on dry land and the thought of being on water miles away from the shore. It wasn't really a comforting thought.

But Ron wanted to convince her. You see, he'd made a mistake with his daughter. While Amy was in college, she'd come out to the family as gay. When she told her two parents, they weren't really that happy. Not one bit. In fact, their initial reaction was that of disappointment. They worried about their daughter's social life and what this would mean for her, and frankly, were disapproving of her lifestyle.

And they loved their daughter terribly, and her coming out as gay had driven a rift between them. Ron wanted to amend that. He wanted her to spend time with all of them as a family. It's Amy's life. It wasn't what we would choose for her, but it's her life and we loved her unconditionally. Ron convinced her on the guys that her younger brother, Brad, was coming. Amy loved Brad, more than anyone in the world. The two were best friends. But Brad was in college, busy with his schoolwork. and the two hadn't spent that much time together recently. Plus, he'd recently just turned 21. If they took the cruise, not only would they be spending lots of time together,

but they could party all night, and party they would. That night, the pair dressed up and set out for the ninth floor deck, where a disco-th theme party was being held. Colorful lights and revelrous decor, plus plenty of drinks, shot after shot, beer and cocktail, the ship was alive and fun, and these siblings were laughing through the night. The ship's band, Blue Orchid, was in attendance. They were heavy partiers and loved spending time with the passengers.

And Amy seemed to be making quick friends with the lead singer, a man named Alistair Douglas, nickname Yellow. They shared a couple drinks, and in one corner of the room, the ship's videographer even captured the pair dancing together. Needless to say, they were all having fun. At 3.35 a.m., Brad and Amy returned to their family's cabin on the 8th deck, but they weren't ready for bed just yet. They sat on the balcony, listened to the sounds of the waves, lapping against the steady hole of the ship, and talked. Personally, I think this is a beautiful haunting image. Two siblings out on the open ocean and join each other's company, talking the night away, far away from their lives and yet

never more alive. Eventually, Brad was tuckered out and went inside. But Amy stayed out there a bit longer. She wanted to take in the moment, enjoy this soft breeze, have a cigarette. Brad obliged, closed the sliding glass door to the balcony, and went to sleep. Ron woke up around five 30 a.m. He searched the room for his children, and with squinted eyes, spotted Amy asleep on a lounge chair, still out on the balcony. I could see Amy's legs from her hips down. I dozed back off to sleep. The balcony door was closed, because if it hadn't been closed, I would have gotten up and closed it. But when he woke up at 6 a.m., Amy was gone. I left to try and go up and find her. When I couldn't find her, I didn't really know what to think, because it was very much unlike

Amy to leave and not tell us where she was going. He walked around the ship, checking all of the popular locations, the lounge, the bars, the shops, the deck, when after an hour he still couldn't locate Amy. he returned to wake the family. By this time, it was around 6.30 a.m. and the ship had arrived in port, prepared to disembark. The family rushed to get help from the crew, asking them to search for Amy, to make an on-board announcement asking about her, and to not allow the passengers to disembark. However, the crewman said it was too early to make an announcement. After all, the ship was very large, and she could really be anywhere, doing anything.

She wasn't necessarily missing, but they agreed to make an announcement at 7.50 a.m. asking for her return. But they would not halt the disembarkment. While the family was doing their own search, passengers were flooding out of the cruise ship. The ship was host to 2,000 passengers at a time, so we can only imagine the hundreds of people leaving the boat. In the frantic search by the family to find the lost Amy. While Brad was walking the deck, he was approached by, Alistair Douglas, the lead singer of Blue Orchid, who had danced with Amy the night before. Hey man, I'm sorry to hear about your sister, he said.

Brad was immediately taken aback. No announcement about her disappearance had been made. Alistair shouldn't have known Amy was missing, so why did he mention that? Unsure what to think, he dismissed the comment and continued the ship. The hour rolled by and Amy was still nowhere to be seen. An announcement was made. Will Amy Bradley please come to the purser's deck? Hours passed.

Passengers continued to trickle out onto the sunny Curacao Beaches. It wasn't until 12.15 p.m. 6 hours after Amy was reported missing that the crew was ordered to begin a proper search. They scoured the massive ship, searching. all 12 floors. Every deck, every public place, the casino, the pools, the lounges, the bars, the observation deck, and to no avail, Amy was gone. Authorities were contacted. The Dutch Caribbean Ghost Guard boated the waters for four days, believing she may have fallen overboard during the night. Three helicopters scoured the seas day and night, and a plane fitted with radar

technology scanned for any sign of life. The family was confident that if she had fallen overboard, she was still alive. Amy had worked as a lifeguard in her youth and was incredibly athletic and a fantastic swimmer. She was familiar with survival techniques to float in deep water and stay afloat for as long as possible, but they didn't believe she fell overboard. Again, Amy was terrified of heights. In the build of the ship made it difficult for her to stumble over. She'd have to have been leaning over the balcony rail to have fallen over, and it was very unlikely for her to do so. While they searched the waters, local authorities searched the ship in the surrounding areas of Curacao, filtering through the beaches, nearby roads, shops, and the city proper. Nothing. When they gave up on the search, Royal Caribbean,

the company who owned the Rhapsody, chartered a boat to continue the search. By the end of the search, authorities believed she had either fallen overboard or had committed S-word. But the family vehemently denied these claims. Amy simply wouldn't have done that. Not the Amy they knew.

In the weeks after, Alster Douglas was interviewed by the FBI in connection with Amy's disappearance. He denied any knowledge of what happened and was asked to take a polygraph. While he was taking the polygraph, Amy's father, Ron, was outside, waiting, presumably to take his own test. When it was over, Ron noticed something odd about Alistair's behavior. I saw Douglas come out of the interview smiling, with his thumbs up to his band members like, everything's cool. I knew what was going on. I knew he had been

with Amy. Police distributed missing person posters all across Curacao, and eventually, the story of Amy Lynn Bradley was front page news all over the world. The family came up with a different theory than the official report. Amy was trafficked into Curacao, probably by a team of crewman on board the Rhapsody. They claimed that, in the days before her disappearance, a waiter aboard the ship insisted on giving the family a handwritten note intended for Amy. He wanted to take her out for drinks when they reached Curacao. But the family never gave her the note. They cite the strange behavior of Alster Douglas,

his knowledge of her disappearance before any formal announcement. And remember the videographer I mentioned earlier? The one who captured a video of Amy and Alster dancing on the night of her disappearance? Well, there was one more person present that night I didn't mention, a photographer. His job was to take photos of the night and sell photos to passengers. Well, the family looked through all of the photos, hundreds of photographs of the party, but none of them included Amy. This was very suspicious. They believed someone removed the photographs. One month after Bradley's disappearance, the family returned to Curacao to search for

Amy. During this return, they were approached by a cab driver, who claimed to have seen Amy the day of her disappearance. He claimed to have seen her during the disembark, and later running through a parking lot, searching for a phone. He recognized her by her distinctive green eyes and was able to accurately describe her tattoos. He claimed to have also seen her. He claimed to have also seeing her across the island in the days following her disappearance. Five months after the disappearance, two Canadian men who were vacationing in Curacao and were enjoying a drink at a beachside bar, here they spotted Amy, accompanied by two men, one of which he described in detail.

And the description matched Alistair Douglas. While the two men talked about their diving equipment, Amy allegedly, noticed them speaking English and attempted to approach them. But the man who matched the description of Alastair waved her back, and throughout the time they were drinking, she would look back at them, attempting to signal the two men. It wasn't until seeing her on America's Most Wanted that he recognized her. Then, a year later in 1999,

U.S. Navy Petty Officer William Hefner encountered Amy in a brothel in Curacao. Allegedly, Amy approached him and explained her story. She disembarked a cruise ship to find drugs and was kidnapped and held hostage in the brothel. She pleaded for help, but fearing for his military job, he did not report the incident. And by the time he did, three years later, the brothel had since burnt down and the lead was cold. Then, in 2005, the family received an anonymous. his email attached were two photos claimed to be from a Caribbean-Venezuelan escort site,

depicting a woman named Haas or Joss, and the woman in the photos was Amy, without a shadow of a doubt. They sent the photos in for forensic testing, and although they positively identified the woman in the photos as Amy, they couldn't confirm the authenticity of the photos. and although the photos were untraceable, authorities, the family, and anyone with eyes has been an agreement since 2005. The photo is Amy, and here is a side-by-side comparison. Multiple other sidings have been reported over the years, most before the 2010s. Amy is claimed to have been spotted all over the world from San Francisco to Aruba, and the family has been scammed by Leeds' men.

many times. A man named Frank Jones conned the family out of $200,000 over months, claiming he had spotted Amy in a Colombian trafficking house with armed guards, but he needed the money to pay armed forces to rescue her. And that's everything we know about Amy Lynn Bradley. Her mysterious disappearance in the circumstances surrounding it have led many people to believe she was trafficked off of the cruise ship and was a slave to her captors for almost a decade. Amy Lynn Bradley was pronounced dead on March 24th, 2010. With so much time elapsing, it was unlikely. She survived. But that's not all. Cut to 2025. The FBI has just reopened the investigation, as three new developments have occurred in the Amy Lynn Bradley case. Let's go over each of them, one by

1. Firstly, one of the bartenders on the ship was interviewed by investigators after the disappearance. According to her, one of the servers, who remains nameless and speaks little English, was reportedly walking around the bar yelling, Signorita kidnapped, Signorita kidnapped. According to this bartender, the server was soon escorted away and later returned to work. Now, investigators are looking to get back in contact with the. this bartender because although it was never followed through in 1998, they realized no one actually asked her what time that event took place. If it happened before 6 a.m., before the family even knew she was missing, then that server's

testimony would concrete the trafficking theory. The next development comes from Amy's missing person website. The family runs the website, but according to news outlets, authorities have been monitoring the website for years, waiting for some odd behavior. And to our surprise, something odd has been happening. According to investigators, every year the website has an uptick in traffic from one specific location, Kurosau, and one specific IP address. And this uptick occurs every year on family holidays, not just Christmas or Valentine's Day, but Bradley family holidays, holidays specifically celebrated by the Bradley's, like birthdays and other occasions, that only family members could know.

The latest ping they received during a family holiday was from a boat off the coast of Curacao, and they believe this traffic might be. be Amy, checking in on the family during holidays, her own attempt to feel more connected with her long-lost family. Peter Valentine, chair of the Forensic Science Department at the University of New Haven and one of the lead investigators on the Amy Lynn Bradley case, had this to say in an interview with Fox News. It's speculative because could it be coincidental? Of course it could be, but if you have the same IP address or an IP address coming back to the same location during this year after year, then I think it does have some

potential investigative value because who's in that area with knowledge of those family-specific dates. Then the final development, in the most shocking one by far. We have little information on. It's an ongoing and very tight-lipped theory, but investigators believe that Amy Lynn Bradley has a child living in Curacao. They haven't given many details, but they have announced their interest in finding what they describe as the child in getting him DNA tested. Personally, I've believed Amy Lynn Bradley has been alive for years. But regardless of what I think, the mystery lives on. We don't know exactly what. what happened, how it happened, or where she is.

Today, her family remains hopeful. With all of the recent developments, it seems only a matter of time until we know what happened to Amy Lynn Bradley, and I hope for her sake and her families.
