My daughter died on her 25th birthday cruise – her pals made baffling choice with body and we still want answers

WALKING on board the ship with her boyfriend and friends, Ashley Barnett couldn't wait to celebrate her 25th birthday on a three-day cruise through the crystal-clear waters of the Pacific ocean. Less than 24 hours, however, the aspiring actress would be found dead in her cabin - and her tragic death still remains shrouded in mystery. 8 Within less than 24 hours of being on the vessel, Ashley was found dead Credit: Getty 8 An aspiring actress, Ashley was working on American TV 8 Ashley's mum spoke exclusively to The Sun about her daughter's tragic death 8 The Paradise cruise ship set sail from Long Beach, California Credit: Alamy With the 20th anniversary of Ashley's death next October, her heartbroken mum, Jamie, revealed to The Sun that she's still searching for answers on what happened to her beloved daughter. "It was a long, perilous journey, which had no real answers in the end,' she said. "I'll never get all the answers. That's one of the most heartbreaking aspects of all… losing someone like that on a cruise ship. "It's just all different when it happens at sea - and people don't realise that at all." After boarding Carnival Cruise Line's Paradise in Long Beach, California on 14 October, 2005, Ashley's boyfriend said they hit up the casino and a concert before returning to their cabin for the night. But following an alleged disagreement, her boyfriend went back out - leaving her alone in the room. He said he returned in the early hours after continuing his night out onboard, falling asleep next to Ashley, before waking up hours later to join pals upstairs. Ashley remained in bed, her boyfriend believing she was still fast asleep from celebrations the night before. After partying some more, he returned to the cabin once again - except this time he tried to wake her up. When he was unable to rouse her, he went running into the hallway screaming that his girlfriend wasn't breathing, with another passenger scrambling to call 911 after hearing his cries. While a nurse began to perform CPR, the ship's doctor arrived - but efforts to resuscitate her were unsuccessful. There were allegedly few defibrillators on the ship and no opioid-overdose inhibitors to aid medical staff. Ashley was pronounced dead soon after. Holidaymaker, 60, killed in 'fight' on luxury cruise ship hours after leaving UK as man, 57, arrested over 'murder' Following Ashley's shocking death, the boat docked in Ensenada on the Pacific coast of Mexico. Here, authorities boarded the ship to determine if there were any suspicious circumstances, while the FBI back in the US were notified. With Ashley's body handed over to a Mexican morgue, instead of staying with her, the young woman's boyfriend along with the rest of the group stayed on the party ship and, shockingly, returned to California. 8 Ashley Barnett tragically died on board a cruise after suffering a drug overdose Credit: Getty 8 Ashley boarded the cruise with her boyfriend and friends to celebrate her 25th birthday Credit: Getty 8 For decades Ashley's mother Jamie Barnett has been working to change the way deaths on cruises are treated Two decades later, Jamie is still outraged by the decision. "They just left her body there," she said. "Not the boyfriend, not one of those other folks, not a representative from the cruise line." Jamie said she didn't even hear from Ashley's boyfriend - the last person to see her alive - until a full day after her daughter's tragic passing. He claimed he had no idea what had happened to her - but revealed that some of his medications was missing. It was later concluded that Ashley had died from a methadone drug overdose - something that shocked her grieving family and friends who insist she was extremely anti-drugs. Methadone is what's dubbed a "legal high" drug, traditionally used to help addicts stop taking heroin - despite both being Class A. Jamie says Ashley was "autopsied and, before she could come back to the United States, her body had to be embalmed". This meant that by the time her body was returned to her family, "any forensic pathologist had very little to go on to figure out what happened" - shrouding even more mystery over Ashley's death. With Jamie still desperate for answers, the family hired a private pathologist to carry out a forensic autopsy. They found exactly what Jamie thought - healthy organs in a healthy body, with some evidence of alcohol consumption. No signs of trauma were discovered either. Still bewildered by her shocking passing - and the cause behind it - the family then requested a test of Ashley's hair follicles. The test confirmed that there were zero signs of habitual drug use. Therefore the question remained: why was Ashley found dead having overdosed on methadone? Ashley's passing - and the reason behind it - has tormented her family for 20 years. They are yet to receive real answers. Despite the nightmare Jamie has endured over the last two decades, her trauma ignited a need to help others who have endured similar nightmares. It's just all different when it happens at sea, and people don't realise that at all. Jamie Barnett Jamie has been pivotal in developing stricter laws surrounding crimes and deaths on cruises in her role as president of lobbying group International Cruise Victims. The grieving mum believes cruise-goers are often "lulled into a false sense of security". She explained to The Sun: "Don't get on a ship and think nothing could happen to you. "It's like a small city where anything can happen. "You can't let your guard down. You have to still be mindful and keep your eyes open." Jamie also described how difficult it is for authorities to investigate crimes that happen at sea and collect key evidence. This means many cases on board ships remain unsolved - leaving grieving families with unanswered questions about their loved ones. Jamie, who campaigns through International Cruise Victims, said: "We're there to help folks who have found themselves victims of either some kind of crime at sea or some kind of negligence or traumatic event at sea. "When that happens to people, because of laws being so wishy-washy, if they even exist on the high seas, they don't know where to turn to or what to do. "And most of us who are leading this organisation remember that vividly and how that feels. "We do everything we can to take somebody's hand and walk them through all of these things should they find themselves a victim in any way." The chancing of dying on a cruise ship were recorded as being roughly 1 in 6.25 million in 2019, according to Forbes - suggesting it as being one of the safest ways to travel for holidaymakers. But the statistic misses out crimes committed on ships, or missing persons. Jamie claims that some cruises only put out a "soundbite" on missing persons on board the ships, along with what could have happened to them. She said families are often told their loved one was "depressed" or "this person had a fight with their partner". Jamie explained: "So right away you're thinking it was intentional, when it's very important for us hearing those reports to stay neutral, to wait. "How do you know? What leads you to say that?" Advocates have claimed that cruise lines have a "spotty" record of crime reporting, which makes actual statistics hard to determine. But through her work at International Cruise Victims, Jamie looks to hold cruise lines more accountable for what goes on on their ships, while also protecting future cruise-goers on their holidays. Jamie added: "The cruise industry loves to say 'passenger safety is our number one priority'. "We're over here saying - put your money where your mouth is."

I was lured to infamous Bunny Ranch brothel by Love Island style show…vile star Hof choked girls & forced us into sex

Young girls flocked to become sex workers after watching the sexy models having 'fun' in the glossy TV show SECRET TORMENT I was lured to infamous Bunny Ranch brothel by Love Island style show…vile star Hof choked girls & forced us into sex WITH their model looks and stunning figures the young women giggling around the swimming pool and partying with champagne looked like they were having the time of their lives. But this reality TV hit was no Love Island. Advertisement 26 Dennis Hof pictured with three of his employees Credit: getty 26 The girls at the Moonlite Bunny Ranch looked like they were having fun and hanging out Credit: getty 26 Air Force Amy was one of the stand out stars in the show Credit: Splash 26 Cathouse acted as a 'recruitment' poster for young wannabes Credit: Rex Features The gloss and glamour of Cathouse, which aired from 2005 to 2014, hid a dark reality and the pink-painted paradise in the sunshine was actually a legalised brothel in Nevada called The Bunny Club Ranch. For girls like Dolly Hart, who grew up watching Cathouse, the intoxicating picture seved as a recruitment ad. 'Around the time that I caught a glimpse of the show, I was probably 11, 12,' she says. 'The girls looked like they were having fun. "There was a camaraderie amongst them. It seemed like you could make friends there. I was thinking, when I grow up I'm going to go there.' Advertisement In the six-part documentary, Secrets of Bunny Ranch, former employees reveal the truth behind glossy image promoted by publicity hungry owner, Dennis Hof in the show, claiming bullying, humiliation and sexual assault were the norm and that they felt trapped. 'I saw the velvet couch, the pink Bunny House on TV and thought it was so cute,' says Dolly. 'I was having trouble making friends as a first generation little Mexican girl, getting bullied and being labelled the ugly duckling. 'I didn't come from a privileged background and I saw these girls making money on the show and thought, 'Let's go for it.' Advertisement "The Cathouse made it seem like it was the Playboy mansion with bunny playmates playfully jumping on each other and tickle fighting. But it was nothing like that. 'Dennis is an intimidating predator who knew who he could coerce and manipulate. The last time he propositioned me for sex was at his birthday party. I created the notorious 'OnlyFans Playboy mansion' - I've made £39 MILLION in 2 years, it's better than being a waitress 26 Hof claimed he treated the girls fairly and was no 'pimp' Credit: Getty - Contributor 26 The brothel was based in Lyon County, one of the few counties in the USA which permits legalized prostitution Credit: getty Advertisement "He expected me to have a threesome with him and this other girl. I asked if I would be paid and he said no, it's my birthday. I refused.' Hof, born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1946, made good money selling time-shares before turning that business knowledge to buying and transforming The Bunny Ranch, taking prostitution out of the shadows and into the mainstream with his flair for publicity. TV and radio interviews led to the reality series Cathouse where everything at the brothel appeared to be professional and fun with the women treated fairly and respectfully by Hof, who the girls called 'Daddy.' 'I'm a businessman who supplies a place and an opportunity for ladies to work and we share the proceeds,' Hof liked to claim. 'The last thing I am is a pimp.'

Advertisement 'I saw the ugly side of Dennis but the world on Cathouse only saw the fun side of him because they didn't know the real Dennis. He was all about being violent.' After hearing Hof and one of his favourite girls at the ranch – known as Air Force Amy – talking about the brothel on TV, Shelly decided to apply. 'I sent an email with a picture of myself to the ranch and Dennis Hof himself called me back within two hours and said, 'I want you out here.' "I flew out and he picked me up at the airport and he told me that HBO was doing a show and he wanted me to be part of it. Advertisement 'He walked me in and there were cameramen filming there. Dennis took me out to the bungalow behind the building and wanted sex. He didn't want to wear a condom. I was absolutely horrified. Shelly Dushell "That was my first day at the ranch. I was afraid to tell Dennis no. No one cares if a prostitute gets raped. 'Dennis preyed upon the women that were the most easily victimised. I was afraid to not go along with what he wanted. "It was hard for me to resist Dennis in the first couple of years that I was there. Advertisement 'He liked that power and control over the girls and he was very violent when he had sex. He liked to slap and choke. It was hard to get him to stop.' Former Bunny Ranch cashier, Shonda, says: 'Dennis had a very active sex life with the working girls. "There were girls who would offer themselves to him and there were girls who didn't want to sleep with him but felt they had to. "He had a great presence on TV but behind closed doors, Dennis was a rattlesnake.'

There they would line up while he chose who he wanted. But their smiles hid their humiliation. This 'unscripted' TV series was very much not that. 'It wasn't a documentary. We were told what to do,' says Shelly, who claims she was paid $300 dollars for onscreen sex scenes and nothin for non sex scenes. 'The Cathouse show was set up. In the first scene I did they wanted the women to sit down with a bunch of clients, teaching them about good sex. Advertisement "But one of the men was not a client. I recognised him as Jesse Fillmer, a driver and bartender at the Ranch.' Jesse confirms: 'Everyone in the scene who was supposed to be a customer were actually friends of Dennis or people who worked at the Ranch. "The Cathouse was just basically a promotional video for the Bunny Ranch.' Shelly regrets being part of the fake image that encouraged young girls to be a part of the sex industry. Advertisement 'HBO definitely wanted it to look like it was a fun place to be and so I can see where it can be tempting for a young girl to watch the Cathouse show and think it would be something fun,' she says. 'But they don't understand the reality of it. They aren't seeing what it is really like behind closed doors with Dennis. 'I didn't know that young girls would come to work there who would never have thought of working there if they had not seen the show. "So, looking back, I should never have agreed to do it. It's just horrifying to think that girls so young would want to do that.'

Advertisement 'Over the weeks that I worked there I realised that HBO never really wanted to dip further than just below the first public relations level. "Dennis groping people was a daily occurrence, and they pretended to like it,' he says. 'After the first season of Cathouse had been on the air, young women wanted to live in the glamorous image of it. "And so the show began to attract younger women to the Bunny Ranch. Advertisement "It became clear to me that we were part of the recruiting system and I did not feel good about it.' Another of these starry-eyed 'wannabes' was Alice Little. 26 Tom Hurwitz, Cathouse cinematographer, came to regret his involvement 26 Secrets of the Bunny Ranch, can be seen on Crime+Investigation on Wednesday, 25 June Credit: Crime+Investigation Advertisement 'Seeing something that was on late at night that my parents didn't really want me to watch… as a kid that only makes you more intrigued,' she recalls. 'They would go to bed and I would sneak out of my room, go downstairs and watch with the volume turned down low. "I thought it was the coolest thing, being paid to be gorgeous. It sounded amazing. So I decided I was going to go the Bunny Ranch.' As Cathouse became a huge hit, Hof was raking the money in and bought up a string of brothels nearby, transforming them into the model of the Bunny Ranch. Advertisement But he was eager to tell interviewers that he offered women the chance to earn a good living themselves. 'This is an opportunity for you either to make a lot of money in four or five years, invest it properly and never work another day in your life or to make a good amount of money in a short period of time every month so you can be with your kids and work on your writing or acting career or your studies,' he said. The brothel had a 50-50 split of profits with the women but they would had little left after being forced to pay for their accommodation along with laundry bills, clothes, make-up, condoms, lube and other subsidiaries. If they went days without being chosen by a client, their debts grew so many were constantly trying to pay off their tabs, effectively keeping them trapped there, as they couldn't walk away. Advertisement Wheel of doom 26 It was difficult for ex workers to rebuild their lives without 'extensive medical, psychological and psychiatric assistance' 26 Taina Bien-Aime´ said: 'Cathouse was glamorising the sex trade and pimps' Credit: getty 26 Ex-workers revealed no one became millionaires from the show Taina Bien-Aime was a former HBO Business Affairs Director before becoming an anti-sex trafficking activist. Advertisement 'Cathouse was glamorising the sex trade and pimps,' she says. 'It was not looking at the suffering of the women who are in these brothels. "On screen there is free-flowing alcohol, they are having fun, everybody's laughing, there's a pool. It's a beautiful marketing ploy to recruit young vulnerable women to try it out. 'It's a myth that they can become millionaires. And the moment they leave prostitution they are in abject poverty and it's very difficult for them to rebuild their lives without extensive medical, psychological and psychiatric assistance.'

And that's a position you don't want ever to be in at the brothel. "Because that means that whenever a customer finally does pick them, they have to do whatever he wants. No matter if they want to or not. Advertisement 'Dennis himself was notorious for 'partying', which meant having sex with whoever he wanted and not giving them any money. Whenever he was around in the parlour I would try to stay away from him.' Bekah was there when Vince Neil, lead singer of the heavy metal band, Motley Crue, came to visit Dennis in 2003. He was more angry than I had ever seen someone Andrea Terry Andrea Terry, a working girl at the Ranch, later filed a police report after an encounter with him. In the report she says, 'He tried to get me to touch his penis. I reminded him we had to pay before any sexual acts could take place. Advertisement "With such a rage in his eyes he grabbed me by the throat and pushed me against the window frame, holding me there, yelling at me, then yanked me down towards the bed. He was more angry than I had ever seen someone.' Bekah was upset by Hof's reaction to the violence. 26 Each prostitute from out of state works and sleeps in one of the brothel's 30 rooms during the entire duration of her stay Credit: Getty Images 26 Hof was accused of being violent with the girls Credit: Getty Images Advertisement 'Instead of Dennis Hof kicking Vince Neil out for assaulting one of his employees, he took him to the bar, bought him a drink and then paid for him to party with some other girl. I mean, they don't protect you. "In the end, the police actually charged Vince Neil and he pleaded no contest but if Dennis Hof had had his way, no one would have ever known.' Hof died in 2018 of a heart attack. Before his death several women who had worked at the Bunny Ranch accused him of rape, including Theresa Lowe and Jennifer O'Kane. He denied their allegations and never faced any charges, with authorities citing a lack of evidence.

The South American restaurant just crowned best in the world for 2025

A couple of weeks after announcing their annual list of the world's 51-100 best restaurants, the much-anticipated guide to the best of the best has landed. World's 50 Best announced their winners at a ceremony in Turin last night, and Maido, a restaurant in Lima, Peru, was named the best restaurant on the planet. It's the 23rd edition of the awards, and restaurants from 32 cities across 22 different countries made the ranking, including 10 new entries. So, what's Maido doing that makes it better than all those brilliant spots? The restaurant takes its name from a Japanese phrase used by people to greet each other: 'maido', and is run by chef Mitsuharu 'Micha' Tsumura, the son of Japanese immigrants who formally trained in the US. Recommended: These are the best cities in the world for food, according to Time Out. He then spent time in Osaka mastering the techniques now utilised at this place, and it's resulted in a dazzling blend of Peruvian Amazon flavours cooked with Japanese methods. Think a miniature jaune parcel of pork jowl and palm heart, or yucca served up with Amazonian beans. 'I can't describe it in words really. It's a mix of feelings… All the hard work, all the difficult moments, making people understand what we were doing, and now seeing what we've done with Nikkei cuisine and Peruvian cuisine… with hospitality. Making people happy has always been what I've loved doing,' said Tsumura, after the win. 'I think the most beautiful act of love is to cook for somebody. It's the most beautiful thing that has happened in my life. It's been 11 years [being ranked on The World's 50 Best Restaurants] and it's a dream come true.' Three other restaurants in Lima made the World's 50 Best list – Kjolle, Mérito and Mayta. Read on for all of the outstanding inclusions for 2025. These are officially the world's 50 best restaurants Maido, Lima, Peru Asador Etxebarri, Atxondo, Spain Quintonil, Mexico City, Mexico Diverxo, Madrid, Spain Alchemist, Copenhagen, Denmark Gaggan, Bangkok, Thailand Sézanne, Tokyo, Japan Table by Bruno Verjus, Paris, France Kjolle, Lima, Peru Don Julio, Buenos Aires, Argentina Wing, Hong Kong, China Atomix, New York, United States Potong, Bangkok, Thailand Plénitude, Paris, France Ikoyi, London, United Kingdom Lido 84, Gardone Riviera, Italy Sorn, Bangkok, Thailand Reale, Castel di Sangro, Italy The Chairman, Hong Kong, China Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler, Brunico, Italy Narisawa, Tokyo, Japan Sühring, Bangkok, Thailand Boragó, Santiago, Chile Elkano, Getaria, Spain Odette, Singapore, Singapore Mérito, Lima, Peru Trèsind Studio, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Lasai, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Mingles, Seoul, South Korea Le Du, Bangkok, Thailand Le Calandre, Rubano, Italy Piazza Duomo, Alba, Italy Steirereck, Vienna, Austria Enigma, Barcelona, Spain Nusara, Bangkok, Thailand Florilège, Tokyo, Japan Orfali Bros, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Frantzén, Stockholm, Sweden Mayta, Lima, Peru Septime, Paris, France Kadeau, Copenhagen, Denmark Belcanto, Lisbon, Portugal Uliassi, Senigallia, Italy La Cime, Osaka, Japan Arpège, Paris, France Rosetta, Mexico City, Mexico Vyn, Skillinge, Sweden Celele, Cartagena, Colombia Kol, London, United Kingdom Jan, Munich, Germany Did you see that the best pizzerias in Europe have been crowned for 2025?
