The documentary also left some "eye witnesses" off the documentary.
There was this "navy seal" that scammed them out of 200k claiming he knew where Amy was and knew her tattoos and some other personal info about her. He plead guilty to fraud.
There were a few others ones that didn't fit the narrative they wanted on the documentary too.

No doubt it’s not uncommon.
But sex trafficking not exactly unheard of there either.
Also, Douglas’ daughter seems to think he was involved. She thinks that for a reason. Says he’s strange about it.

Yeah, but it's a lot more uncommon when it involves a middle class white girl no matter what the Facebook wives are chain posting this week.

I think it was a suicide. Speculate all you want about the reasons. Family just doesn’t want to believe it. I think she went back in the room briefly maybe to get one last look at her family, removed her bright yellow shirt to avoid being spotted as she jumped or was floating, but possibly also just to cause confusion. Left the sliding door open behind her to prevent waking anybody up.

She voluntarily left the ship with him once they docked that morning
How?
The only way off that ship was via clandestine methods, I believe. They checked all the people who left the ship then literally searched every inch of the ship.
It seems the only argument that she didn't jump was the head police guy giving some "common sense" without any actual backing or science behind it. And this all pretends that the father actually saw her at 530am.

This doc tried to over-sensationalize the story and make it too long. This could have been covered in 1 episode if it stuck more to facts and not sensationalism.
The problem for that guy was he was being logical in the face of everything else about the series being so histrionic.
Some of his statements were said assured and may have come off as uncaring to those wrapped up in the emotions of it, but I'm sure he's had to tell this story 100x and knows all the holes (and that was likely taken out of the doc b/c their theories would look bad).

Exactly. Much more trouble than it's worth.
There are enough runaways and drug addicts to fill demand.
If there is some ST network, why would they keep an American girl on an island like that? Why wouldn't she be shipped off to a location where scrutiny wouldn't be likely and more money was flowing?

Yeah the same door card that recorded her entering the room would have been required to be scanned leaving the ship. No way she left voluntarily, that would have been recorded.
I’m surprised they didn’t have cameras on the ramps.

All the people that say she jumped from the balcony must not know that it’s not that easy. All the balconies I have been on, if you jumped (which would be easy)there is either another balcony below you ( like on the back of the ship) or there is another deck a few floors down you’d crash into 1st. Even if you jumped as far out as you could I don’t believe you could actually make it into the water. If you wanted to jump over you’d have to go to a lower or higher floor which would be public

This plus I have to believe there were people out on their balcony at 5:30 am watching the sunrise or drinking coffee. A body falling into the ocean would catch an eye.

Been watching a lot of these type docs and they all have one thing in common. The victim makes some really bad choices that put them in the danger that eventually gets them.
No matter what happened to her, it wouldn't have happened if she had been in bed before 4 AM like a responsible adult.

I wondered the same thing, but they showed and said on the show that it was a straight drop to the water.
Five minutes into the show, I wondered if the family knew she was gay, and maybe she jumped because she was closeted. They later revealed that she came out to the family in college, but I knew as soon as I saw a couple pics of her.
The whole bit about the staff being so into her was odd. They suggested that it was perhaps part of some staff conspiracy to kidnap/traffic her. Why, of all the drunk college girl vacationers in the islands, would a trafficker focus on this mid looking, obvious lesbian, who is on a damned cruise ship surrounded by her family who will immediately look for her? There had to be 100s of better candidates for kidnap/traffic at every beach and bar in the islands.
I'd like to know what the family dynamic/conversations were at that time about her sexuality. The family admittedly was not cool with it when she came out. Did they eventually shut up and live with it, or did they constantly make remarks and give her shite about it. "I saw you dancing with that guy at the club. Are you sure you really like women." That sort of dynamic, which the family would be reluctant to own up to, coupled with her relationship issues right before the cruise, plus lots of alcohol (she bought 7 beers, but who knows how many drinks others gave her), could combine to motivate a jump.
Jumped, fell, or tossed by Yellow, I think she most likely sleeps with the fishes.

One of the details that they supposedly left out was that they didn’t come back to the room on their own that night. Earlier accounts said the father woke up, got dressed and went to get them to come back. Would make sense based on how protective they seemed. Now if that’s true I’m not sure why that detail would be left out. But that would lend some credence to the theory that an altercation/argument within the family went on that night once they got back to the room. Especially if Amy was drunk.

Finally watched it because of all the hype. I watch a lot of true crime. Really it seems like all of them, including Dateline's 
It's definitely my guilty pleasure.
Honestly, I was pretty disappointed in this one. I mean there were no suspects and no interesting investigations. Two of the main things that make an interesting murder/missing persons case.
I thought it was pretty obvious she either fell or jumped. Everything else after that was just the family trying to hold on to something that wasn't there. I don't blame them for not accepting it, can't say that I would either, but they weren't being very realistic.
Scuba diver on the beach, taxi driver, guy at the brothel, etc., none of the leads were very solid.
If she was alive she would have called, simple as that. Too many signs that she was still enjoying life and didn't have any disconnect from her family enough to make her abandon them/never reach out to them, especially her brother.
Don't buy the trafficking either. If she would have went missing when they were off the cruise, that could have made more sense, but someone wasn't capturing her from her room at 5:30-6:00 a.m. before they ever even ported at any destination.

I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but one way or another, I’m afraid that Amy sleeps with the fishes…

This. This was a very simple case dragged out added so much non important stuff.
"One night we were driving out in the bush and a car passes and I hear 'David' called out to me as we passed a car!" So you're driving at night, a car drives past you in another lane and I guess the girl was able to see across lanes into the back seat of a passing car and realize it was her brother and they heard her call out?
Way too many useless parts trying to over dramatize it. So many better stories out there, can't believe this is the one that blew up.
And there are few things worse on the planet than a 20 year old facebook/instagram/tik tok investigator. Just dumb theory after dumb theory.

The Netflix way! I just finished it too. I agree with you.
Also, it has been years since I have been on a cruise. Can you just walk off a ship at 6am when docked? I thought they had set times you could leave? Or once it is docked you can come and go as you please until it departs?
I just think she was hammered and took a header over the rail or just jumped.

Exactly. You can talk to any family after their loved one goes missing for 25 years and they’ll have all kinds of stories they could tell you about the tips they’ve received over the years. Especially if the story received a lot of publicity. The difference is, in this case the missing person was last seen on the balcony of a cruise ship. Doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes. It’s like trying to explain how Elvis was last seen dead on a toilet but people kept seeing him everywhere after that.
