Amy Bradley vanished without a trace from a Caribbean cruise in March 1998—and the chilling details suggest a sinister explanation. At just 23, Amy boarded Royal Caribbean’s Rhapsody of the Seas for a family vacation but mysteriously disappeared as the ship docked in Curaçao. Despite immediate pleas from her family, the cruise ship’s captain refused to halt disembarkation, allowing crucial evidence—and possibly Amy herself—to slip away unnoticed.
In this episode, I take an in-depth, investigative look at the baffling details surrounding Amy’s disappearance, including disturbing eyewitness sightings, suspicious crew interactions, and alarming connections to human trafficking operations in Curaçao. Did Amy Bradley become a victim of a Caribbean sex-trafficking ring, or is there another explanation hidden behind the cruise line’s troubling response?
Join me as I unravel this haunting case, explore compelling theories, and discuss why, more than two decades later, Amy Bradley’s disappearance continues to captivate and horrify the public.
