Amy Bradley: The Family's Private Investigator on What the Evidence Actually Shows | Witness Wednesday

Jim Carey spent four years in the U.S. Coast Guard and 28 years as a police officer. He came to the Bradley family through his work on the Natalee Holloway investigation. He's lived in Curaçao. And when he reviewed the records in Amy's case, his reaction was direct: they dropped the ball. They really dropped the ball.

In this Witness Wednesday episode, Jim gives his unfiltered assessment of the original FBI investigation, what Lou Costello's security report actually shows, and what he found when he went back to Curaçao in the fall of 2024.

This interview covers:

— The original FBI investigation: the witnesses who weren't interviewed, the mother who confirmed the eyewitness timeline and was never contacted, and what the agents who boarded the ship failed to do

— The Costello report: how Douglass was allowed to change his statement, why the keycard data directly contradicts the one o'clock timeline he's maintained for 27 years, and why Jim says he was a hundred percent lying

— The Bradley family's records: why Iva and Ron's meticulous documentation is the backbone of the entire investigation — without them, there is nothing

— Herman Goilo: a Curaçao local who has claimed knowledge of Amy's whereabouts since 2000. He signed an agreement with Interpol, then broke into their hotel room looking for cash. Jim met him at a Starbucks in fall 2024 — sweating, nervous, unwilling to shake hands. Told Jim Amy is alive. Then texted from the airport: "Get off the island. We've got people watching you." Then sent a chess game. Then blocked him.

— The visit to the cab driver's widow in Coral Spec — and the red pickup truck that circled their jeep before skidding directly at their door

— Bill Hefner: new details about what Hefner told a fellow sailor the same night — a corroborating account that was never given to the FBI

— The investigative avenues still not pursued: Douglass, Costello, and the cruise director — people Jim knows how to find and who won't pick up the phone
