What happened to Amy Bradley's former dance partner Alister 'Yellow' Douglas?
A new Netflix documentary explores the disappearance of Amy Bradley from a cruise ship in 1998 and her last known 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.
