San Francisco, California
« on: April 20, 2018, 07:56:18 PM »




On April 18, 2003, Amy was seen at Pier 33 (Fisherman's Wharf) in San Francisco. Two of the artist sketches were completed from this sighting, by the FBI artist from Quantico, Virginia. The witnesses were able to provide considerable information about Amy's "handlers".

Amy was with two "handlers" as they were watching a musician on the pier, near the ticket area for Alcatraz. Amy and her two "handlers" were listening to the street musician. At one point, one of her "handlers" gave her foreign coins to drop into the musician's case. The witnesses eventually identified the woman with these two men as Amy Bradley. When Amy’s "handlers" realized Amy had been recognized, they grabbed her and ran. As the "handlers" dragged her away, Amy stared pleadingly over her shoulder at the people who had identified her. At one point, she stumbled and fell to the ground.

There were no cruise ships in the port that day. Amy was described as wearing a nautical trimmed jacket. The "handlers" were described in detail by the witnesses. They were wearing matching Hawaiian shirts and cheap sunglasses. According to the witnesses, the FBI sketches are like photographs. The sketches were on the FBI website for about ten years.

This was an extremely important sighting.

The sketches of the two "handlers" seen with Amy in San Francisco were done by an FBI sketch artist from Quantico. One of the witnesses spent eight hours working with the FBI artist on these sketches. They are like photographs.

One of the San Francisco witnesses has provided important information. On the FBI website, the dark haired "handler" was described as being in his early 30s, approximately 5'11", with dark, wavy, shoulder length hair. The witness claims this description is not correct. The dark haired "handler" was about 5'5" or 5'6", at most. He was very short and thin. The FBI description was wrong.

The other "handler" was obese with red hair and a red beard.

The witness for the San Francisco sighting told her story to America's Most Wanted in 2003.

 https://web.archive.org/web/20030801070922/http://www.amw.com/amw.html

Story:

On April 18, 2003, the witness was in San Francisco with her husband near Pier 39, not far from the Alcatraz tours. The couple stopped to listen to a street band, joining about 20 other people who were gathered around the musicians. The witness noticed a woman, who looked somewhat familiar, surrounded by two men. The witness concentrated on the woman's face and realized the woman looked like Amy Bradley, who was profiled on America's Most Wanted. According to the witness, the two men talked and looked at the witness. Then, the balding red-haired man gave the woman some change to tip the band. The men abruptly grabbed the woman's elbow and hustled her away from the crowd. As they were walking away, the witness said the woman looked back and gave a pleading look. The trio disappeared quickly from the crowd. In June 2003, the witness met with the FBI and a sketch artist, and together they made composite sketches of the two men.

The FBI says the two men are wanted for questioning and have not been charged with any crime. The woman seen by the witness may or may not have Bradley.

Bradley disappeared off of the Royal Caribbean International vessel called "Rhapsody of the Seas" cruise ship on March 24, 1998. She was vacationing aboard the cruise with her parents and brother. At 5:15 a.m., Bradley's father saw her sitting in a chair on the private balcony of their room. Later, between 5:30-6:00 a.m., two women saw Bradley in an elevator with the bass player, Alister Douglas, who is nicknamed "Yellow." His band, Blue Orchid, performed on that ship. At the time of Bradley's disappearance, the cruise ship docked at the island of Curacao and passengers were let off to explore the island around 7:30 a.m. that morning. Royal Caribbean security conducted a partial search of the ship later that day, and they waited two days to do a more thorough search. There was no sign of Bradley. To this day, she remains missing.
