What happened to Alister 'Yellow' Douglas after Amy Bradley's disappearance?
Nearly three decades ago, a young woman vanished without a trace while on holiday with her family aboard a cruise ship, and the quest to find her persists to this day.
A fresh Netflix documentary delves into the mysterious disappearance of 23-year-old Amy Bradley from Royal Caribbean's Rhapsody of the Seas in 1998, exploring various theories that have since surfaced, ranging from an accidental fall overboard to potential involvement in sex trafficking.
As the three-part documentary reveals, she was last seen with cruise ship entertainer Alister Douglas - nicknamed 'Yellow' due to his dyed hair - on the night she went missing.
The pair were spotted dancing together late into the night at the onboard nightclub. Her father last saw her resting on the balcony of their shared cabin, reports the Mirror US.
The documentary synopsis states: "On March 23, 1998, 23-year-old Amy Bradley disappears without a trace from the cruise ship she and her family were vacationing on."
"Despite thorough searches of the ship, Amy is nowhere to be found and the cruise has already docked in their next port, Curaçao, opening the door for 2,400 passengers to explore the island and allowing Amy to potentially disappear into the crowd.
"As the years pass by, possible sightings of Amy pop up in various locations from multiple people. Is it really her? Was this a tragic accident or a crime? - anything is possible. But for Amy's family - only one thing matters: bringing their daughter home alive."
What happened to Alister Douglas?
Alister was interrogated by the FBI following Amy's vanishing and willingly took a lie detector test. He was subsequently released without any charges as there was no concrete evidence implicating him in her disappearance.
Although exonerated, Alister's name still surfaces regularly on internet forums that delve into the Amy Bradley case, given that he was among the last to see her aboard the cruise ship.
In the documentary, the musician's daughter even confronts him during a phone call filmed on camera, pressing him for any information he might have about the missing tourist. He maintains his stance that he is unaware of her fate.
Where is Alister Douglas today?
Since the inquiry into Amy's disappearance, Alister has kept a low profile. However, in October 2024, investigative journalist James Renner located Alister in Grenada and uploaded their conversation to his YouTube channel, True Crime This Week.
Renner announced on Facebook: "This trip to Grenada was a long shot, hail-Mary play, but sometimes things work out. I have the first interview in 20 years with Alister Douglas aka 'Yellow'."
Nowadays, Alister is said to be working as an exorcist on the island while continuing his music career. He consistently denies any involvement in Amy Bradley's mysterious disappearance.

Virgin River fans predict Mel and Jack's future as season 7 airs on Netflix
Fans of the hit Netflix series Virgin River have taken to Reddit to speculate what's in store for Mel and Jack in season seven As Virgin River gets ready for its highly anticipated seventh season - set to premiere on Netflix early next year - fans are already speculating about what lies ahead for beloved couple Mel Monroe and Jack Sheridan. The hit Netflix drama follows nurse practitioner Mel, played by Alexandra Breckenridge, who moves to the quiet Northern California town of Virgin River after experiencing a tragic personal loss. There, she unexpectedly falls in love with Jack (Martin Henderson), a former Marine and the town's bar owner. Season six wrapped up with a major milestone for the couple as they finally tied the knot. The finale brought heartfelt celebrations but also delivered a few dramatic twists - most notably involving Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley), whose sudden disappearance left fans confused. Meanwhile, Mel was blindsided by a surprising request from Marley, who asked her to take care of her baby. The season finale has sparked a flurry of fan theories online, especially on Reddit, where viewers are busy piecing together what Mel and Jack's future might look like. Some believe parenthood is next on the cards for the newlyweds, particularly in light of Charmaine's vanishing and Marley's baby. One fan kicked off a discussion with their bold prediction: "Jack and Mel: Now that they are married, they're going to end up adopting the surrogate mother's baby, Charmaine's twins, and probably will be godparents to the baby Lizzie and Denny have." "They'll finally move into their new house with their three new kids," they added. But not everyone agreed with that vision. Another viewer offered a slightly different take: "Mel & Jack will just adopt the twins, but help find a home for the other baby." Others raised concerns about the tone of the show shifting too dark, particularly regarding Charmaine's fate. "I hope Calvin didn't kill Charmaine though; even though we all can't stand her, that would be pretty dark," one fan wrote. They continued: "I don't think they'll go that route. I also don't want Mel and Jack to adopt the twins, especially because they were the boys Jack was tricked into thinking were his. I think Mel and Jack will just adopt Marley's daughter." Another fan echoed this statement, offering their own theory: "I don't think Charmaine was killed. It is more likely that she murdered Calvin or maybe Jack saw something completely not connected to the Calvin situation, which would give them material for a new plot." Still, some fans believe that Mel and Jack's story needs more conflict to stay interesting, stating: "My thought was that Mel and Jack will need more drama to keep them front and centre, so Charmaine would be dead (or seriously injured), they track down Calvin with the boys and adopt the other baby, and when they get the boys back, either they adopt them too (because Charmaine passes) or they get them back to her."

Madonna has been keen to get the project off the ground for years not hung up Madonna biopic gets fresh update from star – two years after it was shelved THERE has been a fresh update on Madonna's planned biopic - two years after it was reportedly shelved.

Madonna and Julia are working with filmmaker Shawn Levy on the project, which is in the early stages of development. Confirming that the project was still happening, despite the uncertainty, Julia told the SmartLess podcast: 'Yeah, I mean, that's supposed to still happen." Affirming her status as a huge fan of the Material Girl singer, Julia continued: 'It just came about. I knew they were doing a project, making a movie about it, and then I went out to audition. 'I kind of just wanted to see if I could do it, because I wasn't a trained dancer and I had to learn how to dance and then dance in front of her and convince her that I can dance, basically, and sing. "And sing with her!' She also opened up on how she has adopted a 'what would Madonna do' strategy to help cope with nerves. Julia added: ''OK, what would Madonna do?' Which is convince you that she deserves, you know, to be in this room, and I owned it. "I was kind of like, 'You can take it or leave it, but if you leave it, if I leave, then that's on you''. However, she did appear to hint that the project may still be far off hitting screens as she affirmed that "anything that's great, takes time". Madonna, 66, shows off bra under sheer top as she gyrates with boyfriend Akeem Morris at his 29th birthday party Madonna has been aiming to create a movie about her life for years. Her first planned project, titled Who's That Girl, appeared to be well on the way to fruition in 2023 but she soon put the brakes on in order to take part in her The Celebration Tour. Last November, she opened up on her anger at the delays in releasing her biopic after a frustrating meeting with her agents and Hollywood execs. Writing on Instagram, the Queen of Pop said: "After struggling for days in LA, listening to producers and agents tell me why I couldn't make my film, I realised that everything in my life is going to be challenged. "No easy rides for me. I guess I should be grateful.. "It forces me to think outside the box. I did not have a normal life. I cannot make this in the normal way." 5 Madonna has been desperate to make a movie about her life for years Credit: Getty
