Amy Bradley: The Eyewitness Who Watched a Man Come Back Down Alone | Witness Wednesday

Lori was 18 years old on her first vacation when she boarded the Rhapsody of the Seas in March 1998. She met Amy Bradley on the airplane flying to Puerto Rico. She noticed Alistair Douglass — the ship's bass player known as Yellow — working his way through conversations with the younger women on board. She thought he gave off a creepy vibe. And in the early morning hours of March 24, 1998, she sat on the pool deck and watched Yellow and Amy go up together in the ship's glass elevator.

He came back down alone.

Lori has never done a long-form interview. Until now.

In this Witness Wednesday episode, Lori joins host Kevin Hall to give her most complete account to date — the night before Amy disappeared, the elevator, what she felt in real time when Douglass walked back past them alone, and what happened when she and Crystal tried to report what they had seen.

This interview covers:

— How Lori first encountered Amy on the flight to Puerto Rico and recognized her on the ship — and why Douglass caught her attention from the start

— The night of March 23rd in the Viking Lounge — seeing Amy and Douglass together, and why it struck her as strange even then

— The glass elevator: exactly what she saw, where she was sitting, how it registered in the moment, and why she told Crystal she was ready to go back to the room

— What it felt like when she saw the missing person flyer — and why it hit her like a ton of bricks

— Being taken behind the purser's desk and questioned by ship security — a conversation that never appeared in the Costello report

— The FBI's response: being told they were nothing more than two drunk little rich white girls on vacation — and why 28 years later she refuses to let that stand

— What she says to anyone who doubts what she saw: "I was not drunk. I know what I saw."

— What it has meant to carry this for 28 years — and why she will go to her grave with 100% certainty

The ship didn't post a missing person flyer until Thursday afternoon — nearly two days after Amy disappeared on Tuesday morning. The FBI never interviewed Lori's aunt, who directed the girls to security. They never interviewed Lori's mother, who can confirm when the girls came back to the room. Two corroborating witnesses. Never contacted.
