AN ANTHOLOGY OF WOMEN GONE MISSING
AMY LYNN BRADLEY
For most people, a cruise to the Caribbean is an exhilarating, fascinating experience – but for others, the holiday can be memorable for the entirely wrong reasons.

The Caribbean is one of the top cruise destination for many major cruise operators, and millions of people travel there each year. It’s the perfect place to enjoy exotic sights, sounds, and flavors while taking advantage of the Caribbean’s calm, blue seas.

The ships themselves are constructed with safety and comfort in mind. The multiple decks feature railings of approximately 3.5 feet, which prevents vacationers from tripping and falling overboard. And with hundreds of luxurious rooms and plenty of recreational facilities, passengers can keep themselves busy even during long stretches out on the ocean.

Cruises are such a popular travel option that people continue flocking to book trips on cruise ships throughout the Caribbean – even when hundreds of people have reportedly vanished without a trace while cruising through this corner of the world. People like Amy Lynn Bradley.
SUZIE & STACY
raduated from high school, Suzie Streeter and Stacy McCall went to Suzie’s house to spend the night after a really long day of celebration and parties. They were looking forward to moving to the next stage of their life. Suzie’s mother, Sherrill Levitt was at the house as well. All three of them mysteriously vanished in the middle of the night and they have never been seen again.
BRIANNA MAITLAND
On March 19th, 2004, Brianna Maitland disappeared. The 17-year-old girl had just left the Black Lantern Inn in Montgomery, Vermont, where she washed dishes and occasionally served tables, when her car was found abandoned only twenty minutes later. Despite a brief visit from a local police officer, and curious passersby photographing the abandoned Oldsmobile, she was not reported missing for several days. Her parents, Bruce and Kelli Maitland, assumed she was at home, and Brianna’s roommate was out of town at the time. Brianna left a trail of clues behind her, but over 12 years later there is still no official story for what happened that night. As the years pass without any major leads, the investigation has petered out and will soon be coming to a close.
BRITANEE DREXEL
Brittanee Drexel disappeared from Myrtle Beach, SC while on spring break on April 25, 2009. She was 17 at the time and traveled without receiving parental consent. She told her mother that she was staying at a friend’s house near their home in Rochester, New York. Brittanee’s mother, Dawn, then learned where she really was when her boyfriend, John, called her after he suspected something had happened to Brittanee. Her parents immediately grew angry, scared, and devastated when they received word that their daughter was missing.
MISTY COPSEY
Misty Copsey was fourteen years old when she disappeared on September 17th, 1992 after a trip to the Puyallup Fair.
Her case remains a showcase of administrative screw-ups and dropped balls. She was initially thought of as a runaway before foul play was finally suspected a month after the fact. Subsequently, there have been at least five people suspected of committing her abduction.
But the Puyallup police did not get within sniffing distance of Misty or charging anyone with her disappearance. Three different police chiefs and numerous detectives all took a swing at the case and whiffed. No one in law enforcement has been able to answer the question on everyone’s lips.
