What happened to Amy Bradley's former dance partner Alister 'Yellow' Douglas?
Almost three decades ago, a young woman vanished without a trace from a cruise ship while on holiday with her family, and the search for her continues to this day.
A new 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 about her fate, ranging from falling overboard to being trafficked.
The three-part documentary reveals that 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 extensive searches of the ship, Amy is nowhere to be found and the cruise has already docked in their next port, Curaçao, allowing 2,400 passengers to disembark and explore the island, potentially enabling Amy to blend into the crowd.
"As the years roll by, possible sightings of Amy emerge from various locations and multiple sources. Is it really her? Was this a tragic accident or a crime? - anything is conceivable. But for Amy's family - only one thing matters: bringing their daughter home alive."
What became of Alister Douglas?
Alister was interrogated by the FBI following Amy's disappearance and willingly took a lie detector test. He was let go without any charges, as there was no evidence to suggest he was involved in her disappearance.
Despite being absolved of any blame, his name is frequently mentioned on online forums discussing the Amy Bradley case, as he was one of the last people to see her on the ship.
The musician's daughter even features in the documentary, calling him on camera to question him about what he knew about the missing holidaymaker. He maintains that he has no idea what happened to her.
Where is Alister Douglas now?
Since being questioned about Amy's disappearance, Alister has kept a low profile. However, in October 2024, true crime investigator James Renner located Alister in Grenada and uploaded an interview with him on his YouTube channel True Crime This Week.
He posted 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'."
Alister reportedly now works as an exorcist on the island while continuing his music career. He insists he had nothing to do with Amy Bradley's disappearance.

Fans stunned after discovering photos of Guy Sebastian 'arrested' and with a black eye: 'The whole country is in shock'
A fake image of Guy Sebastian with a black eye has gone viral on social media - and clicking on it takes users to a scam website. The Australian singer, 43, was seen with a swollen and bruised eye in an AI image that popped up as a YouTube ad on Tuesday. It is accompanied by an alarming caption that reads: 'The whole country is in the [sic] state of shock after yesterday's news. 'Guy Sebastian says goodbye to his normal life. The police have arrested him.' Clicking on the ad takes users to a scam website, which attempts to get their personal details. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Guy Sebastian for comment. Guy is one of Australia's most recognisable music stars, and his image is likely being used to lure unsuspecting users due to his high public profile. It is the second time in the past month the singer's image has been used by scammers, after a similar picture of him with a black eye was shared in June. While the picture was clearly fake, many Reddit users questioned why they were seeing the image online. 'Anyone else getting spammed with weird fake Guy Sebastian news story ads?' one person asked. 'I wonder how they choose what celeb to target. Someone enough people know to maybe be interested, but not know well enough to know it's bull***t,' another wrote. It comes after Guy recently recalled the time he was held at gunpoint by multiple police officers in Los Angeles on suspicion of grand theft auto. The Australian singer said a knee was placed on his body while a gun was pressed against his face into 'wet concrete'. During an interview on Nova's Smallzy's Surgery with Kent 'Smallzy' Small in April, Guy recounted his terrifying ordeal. The incident, which occurred in 2011 when Guy was living and working in the United States at age 29, was confirmed by his management to the Sydney Morning Herald at the time. Guy told radio host Smallzy his car - 'bought on eBay' - was illegally towed by a dodgy company and taken to an undisclosed location without telling him. The company was attempting to exploit a legal loophole, which allowed them to sell impounded cars if they were not claimed by the owner within three months. Upon picking up his car from the impound lot, Guy called police to notify them that the car was no longer missing or stolen. After 45 minutes of being left on hold, Guy decided to drive to a local car wash while he waited to speak to police. 'One police car pulls up in the next wash bay. I'm on the phone to the sheriff and I see another pull up. Next, there's cops with guns drawn, screaming: "ON THE GROUND!"' he explained. The car was still showing in the police system as stolen, as Guy had not yet changed the status.

The forthcoming season, which will controversially be split in half, sees Pugsley Addams (played by Isaac Ordonez) heading to Nevermore Academy to join his older sister Wednesday (Jenna Ortega), and 55-year-old Oscar winner Zeta-Jones admitted it was an emotional affair both for her character and herself as she drew parallels to her own children. Opening up about shooting the moment, The Chicago and Crash actress said: 'I have a lovely scene with Pugsley where I say, 'Good luck,' as he embarks on his first day. And Morticia sees in him all those nervous things about it being your first day at school, which is always traumatic for the person going to school, and also for the parent. 'But on a personal level, I don't think I ever didn't cry when I dropped off my kids for the first day of school. Each year, it was something, another challenge for them.' Zeta-Jones is married to Hollywood icon Michael Douglas with the couple sharing two children Carys Zeta Douglas, 22, and Dylan Douglas, 24.
