Alister 'Yellow' Douglas was questioned by the FBI in relation to the disappearance of Amy Bradley, who vanished from a cruise ship in 1998 and has never been found
In 1998, a young woman disappeared without a trace whilst aboard a cruise ship with her family. The unresolved mystery is now the focus of a fresh Netflix documentary poised to spark renewed public fascination with her vanishing.
‌
Amy Bradley Is Missing landed on the streaming service this month and examines the circumstances surrounding the 23-year-old's baffling disappearance. Fragments of her final evening were filmed as she danced in the vessel's nightclub with one of the cruise performers before returning to her cabin.
‌
Her father last spotted her unwinding on their family cabin's balcony during the early morning hours, only to discover upon waking later that she had vanished. She continues to remain missing to this very day.
‌
As one of the final individuals to encounter her in the nightclub, where they danced together for most of the evening, cruise band member Alister 'Yellow' Douglas faced questioning from the FBI regarding Amy.
No evidence was ever uncovered linking him to her disappearance, and he even voluntarily submitted to a polygraph examination to exonerate himself.
‌
Despite the absence of proof, his daughter Amica confessed she viewed the case as a "puzzle you can't put together", desperately seeking answers about what transpired. She remembered her parents having a massive argument following his return from the cruise, and in the Netflix documentary she chooses to telephone him whilst being filmed, reports the Mirror US.
"I would wish that you put yourself in my shoe and understand how I feel about this," she states during the phone call.
Alister responds: "Amica, they brought the FBI on immediately. And then he said to me that they're trying to find this girl that I was seen dancing with her. Everybody that had anything to do with cleaning her room, serving her drinks, we were grounded.
‌
"When they realised nothing was involved, we continued to work. And I continued to work on the cruise ship until two years later."
Following Amy's vanishing, numerous unverified sightings emerged, including allegations she was spotted with someone resembling Alister. Probing deeper, Amica questioned: "Why am I hearing that you were seen on the beach with her like months later?"
‌
Alister answered: "Which beach they saw me on? Because I don't like beaches. Amica, we danced at the club, like I danced with many people at the club. I did nothing... I'm sitting there, my name was called, I'm being questioned about something I don't know."
Amica then confessed: "It's hard to hold this conversation with you because you get upset," before posing the question to her father: "If this happened to me, how would you feel?"
Alister revealed: "If you were missing I'd do everything in my power to find out where you are. I understand that her family is trying to find her all these years and I'm in sympathy with that but I had nothing to do with that, nothing at all," before ending the call abruptly.
