A man who was initially investigated over the disappearance of Amy Bradley made a rare public comment where he revealed ‘what happened’ the night she was last seen.
Bradley’s disappearance in 1998 has been the subject of renewed interest this week due to Netflix’s new documentary on her case, AMY BRADLEY IS MISSING.
The documentary lays out the incident in which Bradley, 23 at the time, went missing on a Royal Caribbean cruise.
Her family have maintained to this day that she is still alive, motivated by clues such as a specific sign they spotted on their missing persons website and a photo of a similar looking woman which appeared on a sex workers website in the Caribbean.

One man who was interviewed by the FBI over her disappearance however was a member of the cruise ship’s band, Alister ‘Yellow’ Douglas.
Douglas was one of the last people to have been seen with Bradley the night of her disappearance where she had been up late dancing with the ship’s band and her brother Brad.
He also featured in the last recorded footage of her, dancing with him in the club on the cruise.
Amy’s brother Brad was suspicious of him, stating that he had come up and told him ‘Hey man, I'm sorry to hear about your sister’ while they were searching for her.
In addition to this, a passenger on the ship told the Netflix doc that she saw him and Amy together shortly before her disappearance.
The musician, however, voluntarily agreed to an FBI polygraph test.
He was released due to lack of evidence and the authorities have never accused him of being involved in the incident, despite initial rumours.
He now lives a very different life and was tracked down for a very rare interview by the YouTube channel True Crime This Week.
In this it was revealed that he is a pastor in Grenada where they tracked him down and is an exorcist who runs a church which is 'little more than a shack on the side of the mountain’.
He agreed to his first interview in 20 years, giving his recollection of what happened the night she went missing.
He recounted how the band had finished playing at midnight and that Amy had come up and complimented their set, adding that this wasn't unusual for him as 'many persons would compliment or talk about my way of entertaining'.
Following a quick shower after his set, Douglas said he spotted Amy again in the ship's Viking Lounge and said hello, 'but she was smoking a lot and that's not something I know or like'.
Later he invited her onto to the dance floor, explaining 'I was only going to be able to dance maybe one or two songs because of the time', with him having to be out of the passenger areas by 1am.
He added: "About five minutes to 1am, I said, 'Look, I have to go.' And that was my last conversation and the last time I saw [her]."
When asked directly about the women who claimed to have seen him with Amy at 6am the next morning, he simply says: “No, didn’t happen.”
He added that his key card proved that he did not leave his room again after retiring for the night around 1am.
He said the next morning the hotel manager called him at 7am and asked him: "Do you have a woman in your room?"
"I said, 'No.' And I ask, 'Why?' And he said, 'The woman you were talking to last night at the club, we can't find her.'"
He was then told not to leave his room as the investigation into Amy's disappearance began.
AMY BRADLEY IS MISSING is available to watch on Netflix now.
