I was reading last night about the murder if Katie Janness and her dog at night in a park in Atlanta, Georgia. It sounds like she was blitzed. I noticed it said she still had an earphone in one of her ear lobes…I’m not saying her death is her fault obviously, but fuck! Folks who walk around at night with headphones! Fucking stop it.

The FBI was brought in immediately (maybe because she was a lesbian and they thought it might be a hate crime), and the cops implied the killer stayed in the park to watch her discovery by her girlfriend (not sure how they know that when they say that the local surveillance cameras weren’t working), and the cops removed part of the tree her body was discovered under…does that mean the killer was in the tree branches at some point?

Editing to add she was stabbed over 50 times. And someone carved the letters F, A, and T into her skin but it’s not reported like it’s the word fat.

A murder of someone walking their dog in a park sounds random to me. It sounds like they have DNA to test against at least, because otherwise I wouldn’t think it could be solved. An acquaintance of my teen friend group was murdered in a similar way, in a park at night, while she walked home and it’s never been solved due to probably being random as well. Not in Atlanta btw, so I’m not implying they are related.

I can't get over that her brother's name is Brad Bradley. But yes, I watched a video by a woman who covered the Amy Bradley case. She made some good points, like how she didn't fit the kind of looks of someone who would be a trafficked victim, that Amy was too old and that victims tend to be teenagers.

The reason there hasn't been many updates is most likely because she died in the water, and the family just can't accept it. So many people have disappeared in the water. I think that's more likely than being abducted for trafficking on a ship.

I think there's no mystery to this. She most likely fell overboard. Hell, I think I saw it said before that back in 1997, the railings weren't high up and she could have easily fallen over after drinking. And when you hit the water, if it's a large enough ship, it can knock you out.

Some witnesses who claim to have met an "Amy" who was under duress seem positive. But Amy is a common name and if those women were trafficked they may have been given fake names. The witnesses could also just be attention whores who want to be on TV. The cab driver who told Amy's dad that she was on the island may have been hoping he'd get reward money if Amy was found.

One of the theories was that Amy tried to puke over the railing and fell. There was a table that was moved. She may have used it as a stepstool. She told her brother she wasn't feeling well. Her shoes were left on the balcony. I assume she brought more than one pair with her since they'd be both on the ship and at various port locales. But there's no mention of a missing pair of shoes. I'd think she'd put shoes on if she left the room to go meet Yellow after her brother went to bed. Amy's yellow polo was on a chair. But she had a white tank top underneath it. The key catd doesn't log when you leave the room. Only when you enter. The two female witnesses who thought they saw Amy with Yellow around 3-4am don't have any proof to substantiate that. There's no timestamp on their sighting because they returned to their room shortly after but had forgotten their keycard. So their mom let them in.

If Yellow took some girl up to the now closed nightclub it could have been any girl. The witnesses say they didn't see her come out Only Yellow. But they could be mistaken. Were they watching the whole time?

The whole thing is bogged down by a bunch of strange testimonies and the fact that the room was cleaned by staffed when it should have been sealed until it could be investigated. We'll never likely know.
 
My problem with the testimonials is that none of them were verified, and it's all hearsay. Some could have lied.

After seeing the documentary it makes me think that she wasn't trafficked even more. Her family's reaction to her being gay was sketchy as hell and it's weird how they said nothing about it until decades later. That feels dishonest. If I am going to be honest, they didn't come off well. A lot more people are questioning this now since the Netflix show came out.

One problem I have is the Jas escort photo. They only showed one. There are three photos on the archived website.

When you look at the two other photos more of her body is shown and skin, and the lady showed has no tattoos, and based on the locations of Amy's, they don't show in the full body photos.

Jas isn't Amy.

Also, her family had her declared dead ages ago.

Her parents are also claiming that all sorts of men on the ship, including servers and workers (they probably were sucking up to her for tips like most people would) were flirting with Amy and after her sexually. I wouldn't believe them at this point, since they come off as saying all this to prove to themselves that she wasn't gay.

They're unreliable narrators at this point and so is Brad. Even moreso because they've constantly changed their story on what happened on the ship and when she went missing.

That's probably why they lost the wrongful death they sued for, for fraud apparently.

Edit: I just found this:

Something that following true crime has taught me is that everyone lies. They lie because they are guilty, they lie to themselves, they lie because they want attention, they lie because they have something unrelated to hide, they lie because they’re fucking stupid. This goes for suspects, victims, family, witnesses and police.

There’s also the reality that people’s memories suck. People fuck things up frequently. A local nigger can fuck my order up at McDonald’s despite giving him clear instructions two minutes ago but he’s supposed to remember what happened with perfect clarity six months ago.
 
The JonBenet case is a perfect example of people lying. If I recall right, people lied about being the one to kill her.
 
Speaking of Unsolved Mysteries, there is one case I read that baffled me.

Elizabeth Campbell.

It's sad how the trail went cold and her case never got solved. I do wonder if the sightings with the men were true.

Justin Burgwinkel (missing soldier) also interested me from the Unsolved Mysteries episode. Although I kind of suspect he killed himself.

Elizabeth Campbell was most likely killed, possibly assaulted by the guy that picked her up last.

As far as Justin Burgwinkel, going by the wiki page I'm not buying suicide. He was clearly involved in something shady. Either he was whacked, or he wanted to disappear.

Five plus years ago I would have judged anyone doing that but today most headphones allow you to have a hear through option while listening to music or just having the headphones on and in some cases it's even easier to hear things with that option on thanks to the mics picking up stuff better than my ears does as I'm a tad hard of hearing on one ear, I walk into stores with my headphones on and have done so for years, I simply push the button to put on hear through.
 
I remember one story about a Mormon girl from Mexico who vanished when she was walking home.

I think her name was Elizabeth. To my knowledge, people still don't know what happened.

What was the Unsolved Mystery case of that one teen/college student who died under odd circumstances?
Click to expand...
Brooke Baker? Bryan Nisenfield? (the latter is particularly odd. His foot was found on a beach. There were whispering he was figuring out his sexuality. But also school waited like twelve friggin days to report him missing
 
The Amy case is retarded. Bitch fell off the boat. End of story. Who knew alcohol and boats didn't mix well?

Nobody in the sex trade is abducting some middle class white woman. That only happens in the minds of TikTokers who believe in gang-stalking. You really think some gang is going to take heat like that when they've got plenty of women nobody gives a shit about? Get fucking real

She co-opted the ONS case and made it about herself, also lmao at being killed by a toad like Patton Poswald.

This is absolutely true

But this is wayyy more unlikely than "a midget with a woman's liver fucked around with her pain pills and found out what happens when you mix them with too much booze".

Can someone fill me in on how she involved herself with the case and made it about her? I can't find a lot of people talking about it without just glad-handing the bitch on True Crime reddits. I always had a gut feeling her "involvement" was overstated and she died at a precipitous time for True Crime podcasters and journos to talk her up.

Its been awhile now but I distinctly remember she would blog shit that was clearly lifted from the ONS subreddit, she profiled ONS as some younger loner of Germanic decent who had alot of freetime which was so off it was comical. Then there was some poem she wrote about ONS that got picked up after she died as some prolific thing and was pushed by all the fats that were enamored by her sleuthing. She was a pilled up cat women so documentaries prop her up knowing their true crime audience comprises of that type of person. Reality is that retired detective did alot but ultimately it was 23nme that did all the heavy lifting.
 
I didn't realize people hated her. Was she really that awful? I liked her book.

The thing about ONS that still freaks me tf out are the phone messages. And you gotta remember message machines were only just starting to be a necessity in every household. Like even though he is a miserable pile of shit and looks like Harvey Weinstein getting discharged from the burn unit, it's freaky deaky and horrifying to think about the victims of said phone messages being in sheer terror.
 
Michelle McNamara made me sad because her life could be defined by never finishing anything she ever started, including her book and raising her child. And while I certainly don’t believe any conspiracy her husband killed her, it was creepy how fast he remarried and to a woman who looked very similar to her, but some men just do that.
