At around 5:30 a.m. on March 24, 1998, Ron Bradley observed his daughter Amy Lynn Bradley relaxing on the balcony of their cabin aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship.
Thirty minutes later, when he checked again, she had vanished without a trace, never to be seen again.
Upon receiving the alert about Amy's disappearance, the Netherlands Antilles Coast Guard conducted a thorough four-day search in the nearby waters and along the cruise lines, yielding no results.
Although authorities initially speculated she might have fallen overboard and drowned, this theory was dismissed.
Amy, a proficient swimmer, made it implausible. Despite extensive searches, no trace of her was found, leaving investigators puzzled.
Just over a year later, a member of the U.S. Navy visited a brothel in Barbados and claimed to have run into Amy, or at least a woman claiming to be her.
The sailor claimed that the woman told him her name was Amy Bradley and begged him for help, saying she was not allowed to leave the brothel.
In March 2005, another potential sighting emerged when Judy Maurer reported seeing Bradley in a department store restroom in Barbados.
According to Maurer, a woman accompanied by three men entered the restroom, where the men threatened her.
When they left, Maurer approached the distressed woman, who identified herself as Amy from Virginia, before the men returned and took her away.
Maurer alerted authorities, leading to the creation of composite sketches of the three men and the woman based on her description.
What exactly happened to Amy Lynn Bradley and get current whereabouts remain a mystery.
