  • True Crime This Week Investigates: Amy Lynn Bradley, Interview with Alister Douglas

    True Crime This Week Investigates: Amy Lynn Bradley, Interview with Alister Douglas
    Oct 11 2024

    Amy Lynn Bradley disappeared from the Royal Caribbean cruise ship, Rhapsody of the Seas, in 1998. She remains missing to this day. Did she accidentally fall overboard, was she the victim of a homicide, or was she taken onto the island of Curaçao and held against her will? I am currently writing a new book about this case and in this episode I provide background on the mystery and ask true crime addicts for help to bring closure to this very cold case.


    Today, I present the first interview in 20 years with Alister Douglas, also known as "Yellow," who was one of the last people seen with Amy the day of her disappearance.

Profile Image for SJ

You’ll always be gripped by something you didn’t know.

A punchy, informative, sometimes dark, often unexpectedly humourous (a prolific serial killer named The Doodler anyone?). Each week guarantees to bring a new perspective on a mainstream crime story or and some strange and unusual happening that will stop you in your tracks. Renner’s unique position as founder of The Porchlight Project brings a unique perspective to understanding crime and how cold cases may no longer be a hot topic thanks to genetic geneology.
