The 1998 vanishing of Amy Bradley continues to captivate public attention and confound even the most experienced investigators to this day.

Twenty-six years following the perplexing disappearance of the American college graduate from a family cruise ship, there has been no definitive evidence regarding the whereabouts of the missing woman from Virginia. Nevertheless, theories and leads remain vibrant, particularly with the influence of TikTok, social media, and true crime enthusiasts shedding new light on the case.

Amy Lynn Bradley was a 23-year-old recent graduate from college residing in Petersburg, Virginia, located approximately 25 miles south of Richmond, as reported by the F.B.I. She earned a degree in physical education and had a passion for basketball, according to information from NamUs (the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System).

In March 1998, she embarked on a Caribbean family cruise with her parents, Ron and Iva Bradley, along with her 21-year-old brother, Brad, aboard the Royal Caribbean vessel, Rhapsody of the Seas.

Amy's mother contributed to a blog on the International Cruise Victims’ website, providing insights into her daughter's life prior to her mysterious disappearance.
