On March 24, 1998, Amy Bradley was aboard the Rhapsody of the Seas, enjoying a cruise with her family in the Caribbean when she mysteriously vanished. At 23 years old, Amy was traveling with her brother Brad and their parents, Ron and Iva. Nearly three decades later, her family continues to hold on to hope that she is still alive.
That fateful night, Amy and Brad spent time together at a pool party and later returned to their cabin. They chatted on the balcony before heading inside, where their parents were asleep. At around 5:30 a.m., Ron woke up briefly and saw Amy lounging outside. However, when he stirred again half an hour later, she was gone.
As the cruise ship approached the port of Curaçao, a sense of panic took over when the family realized Amy was missing. They reported her disappearance to the crew, believing she would never leave without notifying them. Brad emphasized that Amy was responsible and would have never just disappeared without a word.
Theories surrounding Amy’s disappearance range from accidental fall to abduction, with several sightings reported over the years. Despite an extensive search by the crew and the FBI’s continued investigation, Amy’s case remains unsolved.
The Bradley family has taken on the role of detectives, chasing every lead they receive. “We’re still waiting for that call,” Brad said, highlighting their unwavering hope. They have even kept Amy’s car, unchanged in the hope she may return one day.
Recently, the family learned that the partitions between balconies on the ship could have been opened, raising questions about whether someone could have accessed Amy’s cabin. As they pursue this new angle, they are determined not to give up.
With a team of investigators working alongside the FBI, the Bradleys remain committed to finding answers. “We wake up every morning thinking, ‘Maybe today,’” Iva shared about their daily routine of hope. As they continue their search, they believe in the possibility of reuniting with Amy and keep her memory alive in their hearts.
