00:00This is the second part of the Amy Bradley case.
00:03There are times when context is very important to understand a lot of things.
00:08And there is something that happened in Curaçao in 1945 that could be related to Amy Bradley.
00:15To cover this topic, we have to go back to that year, to 1945 in Curaçao,
00:21when the government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands decided to do something on that island.
00:28These rulers decided to open the world's first state-run brothel in Curaçao.
00:35And believe it or not, that was how the Campo Alegre project began.
00:40Curaçao has always stood out as a naval hub for the military of both the Kingdom of the Netherlands and
00:47the United States.
00:50The island began to see more and more women working as sex workers.
00:57And there was plenty of demand.
01:00Most of these servicemen came ashore looking for a good time.
01:03There is no evidence of any connection between Amy Bradley and Campo Alegre.
01:09But I think it's worth mentioning because it was a big deal in Curaçao.
01:13Campo Alegre opened in 1949 and operated until 2020.
01:18I mean, this brothel was in business for over 70 years in Curaçao.
01:24The number of brothels on the island went down.
01:27Solo bars or very small joints with few clients and few sex workers.
01:33This was due to the number of arrests made.
01:36It seemed like the government wanted to be the only one profiting from the brothel business.
01:41The situation between 1997 and 1998, which was, around the time of her disappearance, showed that Campo Alegre was still
01:50operating.
01:51Crime had dropped on the island.
01:53The sex workers' activities were largely regulated.
01:56For the most part, but underground spots protected by the police still existed.
02:01Knowing there was so much control.
02:03That the sex workers were regulated.
02:06And that the government had its own state-run brothel.
02:09Which brought in millions in profit and a lot of power.
02:13The only hypothesis we could follow, if we believe she was kidnapped, is that Amy must have entered this system.
02:21What doesn't fit with all this, bringing us back to the accident hypothesis, is that kidnapping isn't an MO in
02:28Curaçao.
02:30If the government had gotten involved in a case like Amy's, it would have caused them a lot of trouble.
02:36But if we look at this case overall, it seems almost impossible, given all this context, that Amy was kidnapped.
02:44Now, her being murdered that early morning makes a lot more sense, I think, than the kidnapping theory.
02:51I feel we also have to take the FBI investigation into account.
02:54When it becomes public, we'll truly know what happened to Amy.
02:57Bye.
