The decades-long mystery surrounding the disappearance of Chesterfield woman Amy Bradley during a Caribbean cruise is gaining renewed attention as a Netflix docuseries focusing on her case is set to stream on July 16.
Brad Bradley, Amy’s brother, holds on to a cherished photograph with his sister, recalling the last moments they shared before she vanished. The family was on a cruise in March 1998 when, after feeling seasick, Amy decided to rest on the balcony rather than retreat to their cabin. That decision led to her disappearance, leaving her family in a state of uncertainty.
Brad vividly remembers the night, sharing his thoughts on the last words he told her: “I love you.” He recalls that she returned briefly to their cabin, leaving her shirt draped over a chair, indicating she was there before her sudden absence. Despite numerous theories and speculation online, Brad firmly believes she did not fall or jump overboard.
Over the years, the family has received countless tips about sightings of Amy, including a report from a Navy man who claimed she identified herself while in a difficult situation. However, none of these leads have resulted in definitive answers, adding to the family’s distress over nearly three decades.
Brad remains hopeful, stating, “We’re never going to give up,” highlighting a shared conviction among family members that Amy may still be alive, despite the passage of time. They are determined to pursue every lead and opportunity to uncover the truth, expressing a longing for closure after years of heartache.
The family encourages anyone with information to reach out to them through their dedicated tip line or email. They have also established a GoFundMe page to support the search efforts, including consultation with experts and legal support to navigate this enduring mystery.
The upcoming docuseries on Netflix offers an opportunity to shed light on Amy’s case once again, and her family hopes it will lead to new tips and renewed interest in their search for answers.
