97: MISSING: Amy Bradley

Derrick Levasseur
About this episode
On March 21, 1998, 23-year-old Amy Bradley boarded a Royal Caribbean cruise with her parents and younger brother. It was supposed to be a fun family vacation. But just three days later, Amy vanished from the ship without a trace.

She was last seen in the early morning hours of March 24 on the balcony of their cabin. Thirty minutes later, she was gone.

The ship was searched. So was the water. But there was no sign of Amy anywhere.

Over the years, multiple sightings have been reported across the Caribbean and beyond, leaving her family to wonder if Amy is still out there somewhere, waiting to be found.

23-year-old Amy Lynn Bradley was last seen by her father around 5:30 a.m. on March 24, 1998, sleeping on the balcony of their cabin aboard the Rhapsody of the Seas. By 6:00 a.m., she was gone. 


Three witnesses later reported seeing Amy with Alister Douglas, also known as “Yellow,” just before 6:00 a.m., taking an elevator to the ship’s disco. He was later seen leaving alone.

There were no other sightings of Amy onboard. But over the years, multiple people have reported seeing her in Curaçao, Puerto Rico, Barbados, and even San Francisco. Amy is still missing.

If you have any information concerning the disappearance of Amy, please contact your local FBI office, or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.
