The Mysterious Case and Disappearance of Amy Lynn Bradley

The disappearance of Amy Lynn Bradley is a story that’s intrigued the world for decades. A simple family vacation — something that everyone wants to have with their own loved ones — turned into a nightmare for the Bradley family. 23-year-old Amy went missing, with no explanation, and was never seen again. Today, Amy has been declared deceased but there are some people who claim they’ve spotted her and they know what happened…

Who Was Amy Lynn Bradley?

Amy Lynn Bradley was 23 years old at the time of her disappearance. At that point in her life, she had graduated from Longwood University with a degree in physical education. The Virginia native was involved in sports, particularly basketball and swimming.

Amy's athletic talents in basketball had earned her a university scholarship, and her swimming abilities had gotten her a job as a lifeguard. All in all, it seemed like Amy had a bright future ahead.

The Cruise

In March 1998, the Bradley family decided to take a Caribbean cruise on the Rhapsody of the Seas cruise ship. The family consisted of Amy, her younger brother Brad, and their parents Ron and Iva.

Amy had plans to start her career at a computer consulting firm the following fall, so it seemed like the perfect time for a family trip. The cruise started in Puerto Rico and was supposed to arrive in the Netherlands Antilles. However, everything changed when Amy disappeared in Curaçao.

The Night in Question

Being young adults, Amy and Brad wanted to spend a good portion of the cruise at the ship's nightclub. The siblings spent some time dancing at the club and Amy chatted up a member of the band, Blue Orchid, called Yellow (real name Alister Douglas).

At around three in the morning, Brad and Amy decided to leave the club and call it a night. That's when things started to get suspicious and people's stories began to change...

Amy’s Disappearance

The Bradleys computerized door lock system shows that Brad entered the family's room at 3:35 am. Interestingly, Amy entered the room five minutes later. It remains unclear as to why the siblings got to the room separately when they left the club together.

The pair spoke for a bit before Amy went onto the balcony, where she chose to sleep. Brad says that the last thing he remembers saying to his sister was that he loved her.
