By now a lot of us have watched the Amy Bradley documentary on Netflix.
It was said that she was “found” on a shmex worker website 7 years after she went missing.
What are your thoughts on this whole thing and do we think it’s Amy?
I do not believe she jumped off the balcony on purpose.
Also, the Cruise Director was shady AF and gave me the creeps! Anyone else felt that way?

Amy Lynn Bradley disappeared on March 23, 1998, while on a Royal Caribbean cruise with her family. She was last seen on the ship, the Rhapsody of the Seas, in the Caribbean. Despite an FBI investigation and the efforts of her family, she has never been found. There have been possible sightings and theories, including human trafficking, but no conclusive evidence has emerged.

A new Netflix docuseries is diving into the 1982 unsolved Tylenol murders case, which involved seven victims killed in Chicago, created mass panic and led to a safety overhaul of over-the-counter medication packaging.

Premiering in May, "Cold Case: The Tylenol Murders" chronicles one of the largest U.S. criminal investigations in three parts, featuring an exclusive interview with one suspect, Netflix said.

If you do not want to wait till next week, Andrea covered a two “paahder” on the Tylenol murders.

On the night of January 6, 1982, a passenger on a plane flying over the Colorado Mountains spotted headlights blinking an SOS signal. He alerted the pilots, who radioed the location to the police.

Rescuers launched a large operation and found Alan Lee Phillips stranded in a snowdrift during a severe snowstorm, with temperatures as low as -22°F. Without the passenger’s alert, Alan likely wouldn’t have survived the night.

For 40 years, Alan’s rescue was seen as miraculous—until DNA linked him to the cold case murders of two women, Barbara Jo Oberholtzer and Annette Kay Schnee, who vanished the same night in Breckenridge, Colorado. The two women were later found shot to death. A key clue was Annette’s orange sock, which matched one found near Barbara Jo’s body, confirming they had been killed by the same person.

The story behind this photo still surprises everyone who knows it.

In 1968, two men kidnapped Kim Bird. They locked her in a homemade coffin, took this photo, and buried her in the woods. They then hung the photo on a local bulletin board and wrote on the back, "I am buried in the woods, you have no more than 5 days to find me." For days, people saw the photo and thought it was just a joke. But then, one of Kim's former colleagues saw it and immediately went to the police. The police didn't know what to do, though, because they only had the photo and no idea where she was buried.

Kim's classmate started looking at the photo closely and noticed something strange. Some letters in the photo were written in bold, and if you looked carefully, you could read a secret message. It said "Kim + Brad" (the classmate's name). It was the same kind of message they used to leave on trees during vacations in high school as a sign of their love for each other.

Brad went to the police with this clue, and they searched the area. They found a fresh grave next to a tree, just like the one in the photo. Kim was saved, but if they had found her just a few hours later, she wouldn't have survived.

For many years, neither Kim nor Brad could explain how she ended up buried there or how Brad saw the photo. The strange thing was, Brad had only been in town for work and hadn’t lived there for years...

For nearly five decades, Kelsey Grammer carried a wound the world never fully saw. Behind the fame, the laughter, and the Emmy-winning roles, lived a brother haunted by a single, brutal night in 1975—one that tore his world apart. Now, at 70, he's finally ready to let us in.

Grammer’s new book, *Karen: A Brother Remembers*, isn’t just about grief—it’s a raw, aching tribute to the sister he lost and the pain he’s lived with since. Karen was just 18 when she was abducted, r***d, and murdered in Colorado Springs. The tragedy wasn’t just horrific—it was life-shattering. And for years, that pain stayed buried beneath a polished exterior. But not anymore.

He told his wife Kayte first. Then he poured everything else into the pages. What emerged wasn’t just a retelling of violence—it was a resurrection. Grammer brings Karen to life again: a wild-hearted, loving spirit whose story deserved more than a headline. He doesn’t just mourn her death—he revives her memory.

And yet, this book is as much about Kelsey as it is about Karen. Through the trauma of losing their father to gun violence, the collapse of their family, and the loneliness that followed, the bond between brother and sister was the thread that held him together. Losing Karen didn’t just take his sibling—it stole the sense of joy he once had.

But something happened as he wrote. The weight shifted. The grief, once unbearable, became a doorway. Not an escape from pain, but a reckoning with it.

Freddie Glenn, Karen’s killer, remains in prison. And while Grammer speaks of rhetorical forgiveness, make no mistake—he is unflinching in holding Glenn responsible. “It was deliberate,” he says. “You’re not going to get out of paying for it.”

The book ends in Colorado Springs, where Grammer retraces Karen’s final steps—a pilgrimage not for answers, but for peace. And when it was done, when the last word was written, he finally looked up.

His wife said, “I’ve missed you.”

And maybe, in some way, he missed himself too.

*Karen: A Brother Remembers* releases May 6. It’s not just a memoir. It’s a confrontation with darkness—and a fight to find the light again.
