AN ANTHOLOGY OF WOMEN GONE MISSINGAMY LYNN BRADLEYFor 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 & STACYraduated 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 MAITLANDOn 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. What happened to Misty Copsey?

The Caribbean has the fortune—and the misfortune̬to be everyone's idea of a tropical paradise. Its sun, sand and scenery attract millions of visitors each year and make it a profitable destination for the world's fastest growing industry. Tourism is increasingly touted as its only hope of creating jobs and wealth—literally, the island's last resort. Last Resorts examines the real impact of tourism on the people and landscape of the Caribbean. It explores the structure of ownership of the industry and shows that the benefits it brings to the region do not live up to its claims. New developments in ecotourism, sex tourism, and the burgeoning cruise industry are not changing this pattern of short-term exploitation of the region's resources. The book shows how Caribbean societies are corrupted by tourism and its culture turned into floorshow parody. This new edition has been extensively revised and updated. It gives voice to people inside the tourism industry, its critics, and tourists themselves, and offers vital insights into a phenomenon that is central to the globalized world of today.

As the 21st Century marches into its third decade, our understanding of the world, and our place within it, seems to be clearer than ever. Each day brings us more and more miraculous scientific discoveries, while technology has interconnected us to an extent that our ancestors and forefathers could not have conceived. And yet, despite the collective of human knowledge lying at our fingertips, there are still a multitude of unsolved mysteries that stubbornly resist any attempts at solving them. Contained in this volume are just a few of the many, many unsolved mysteries that still haunt both skeptic and believer even in today's "modern" age. These mysteries include both classic cases from farther back in the past and a few more recent ones that have haunted the supposed golden age of the 21st Century. Among these mysteries are some of the most chilling cases of missing persons that have occurred over the past few decades. Explore the maritime nightmares within the cases of Amy Lynn Bradley and Rebecca Coriam, for whom idyllic tropical cruises turned into baffling tragedies when both women went missing at sea without a trace. Scratch your head at the seemingly impossible disappearance of Brian Schaffer, who was seen entering a crowded bar one night but never seen leaving. Follow the leads in the sinister vanishings of Jodie Huisentruit, Ben Needham, and Renata Antczak, whose disappearances hint at darker crimes, obsessions, and coverups. You can then place yourself in the shoes of a grizzled detective as you follow along with the criminal investigations of some of the most disturbing and gruesome unsolved crimes of the 20th Century. Profile a rogue's gallery of potential suspects in the horrific murder and mutilation of the young and beautiful Elizabeth Short-aka "The Black Dahlia." Join famed lawman Elliot Ness as he pursues the darkest and most difficult case of his storied career-the faceless psychopath known by the grisly moniker "the Cleveland Torso Murderer." Walk through the snowy ground of an isolated Bavarian farmstead as you explore the terrifying mass killing of an entire family during the infamous Hinterkaifeck killings. Then, turn your attention to the skies as we examine some of the most notorious and intriguing UFO sightings to have occurred in the 21st Century. Sightings that have spanned both the isolated American southwest and the heavily-populated areas around New York City and Chicago. And finally, explore the truth behind some of the most authentic UFO footage to come out in decades, the sightings that baffled the mighty United States Navy and forced the American military to, for the first time, officially acknowledge the existence of UFOs. Among these disappearances, unsolved crimes, strange phenomena, and even lingering historical mysteries, you can read all details and theories and decide for yourself what you want to believe. Or not believe. These cases-and more-will astound, intrigue, and unsettle you and, more than anything else, leave you with a lasting impression that there might be more to our world than first meets the eye.

“Mikita Brottman is one of today’s finest practitioners of nonfiction.” —The New York Times Book Review Critically acclaimed author and psychoanalyst Mikita Brottman offers literary true crime writing at its best, taking us into the life of a murderer after his conviction—when most stories end but the defendant's life goes on. On February 21, 1992, 22-year-old Brian Bechtold walked into a police station in Port St. Joe, Florida and confessed that he’d shot and killed his parents in their family home in Silver Spring, Maryland. He said he’d been possessed by the devil. He was eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia and ruled “not criminally responsible” for the murders on grounds of insanity. But after the trial, where do the "criminally insane" go? Brottman reveals Brian's inner life leading up to the murder, as well as his complicated afterlife in a maximum security psychiatric hospital, where he is neither imprisoned nor free. During his 27 years at the hospital, Brian has tried to escape and been shot by police, and has witnessed three patient-on-patient murders. He’s experienced the drugging of patients beyond recognition, a sadistic system of rewards and punishments, and the short-lived reign of a crazed psychiatrist-turned-stalker. In the tradition of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Couple Found Slain is an insider’s account of life in the underworld of forensic psych wards in America and the forgotten lives of those held there, often indefinitely.

As seen on the Oxygen mini-series The Disappearance of Maura Murray When an eleven year old James Renner fell in love with Amy Mihaljevic, the missing girl seen on posters all over his neighborhood, it was the beginning of a lifelong obsession with true crime. That obsession leads James to a successful career as an investigative journalist. It also gave him PTSD. In 2011, James began researching the strange disappearance of Maura Murray, a UMass student who went missing after wrecking her car in rural New Hampshire in 2004. Over the course of his investigation, he uncovers numerous important and shocking new clues about what may have happened to Maura, but also finds himself in increasingly dangerous situations with little regard for his own well-being. As his quest to find Maura deepens, the case starts taking a toll on his personal life, which begins to spiral out of control. The result is an absorbing dual investigation of the complicated story of the All-American girl who went missing and James's own equally complicated true crime addiction. James Renner's True Crime Addict is the story of his spellbinding investigation of the missing person's case of Maura Murray, which has taken on a life of its own for armchair sleuths across the web. In the spirit of David Fincher's Zodiac, it is a fascinating look at a case that has eluded authorities and one man's obsessive quest for the answers.
