Amy Bradley vanished in 1988, and her case remains an unsolved mystery even though she was declared legally dead in 2010.
Interest in the disappearance of 23-year-old Amy Bradley has grown, despite it taking place decades ago.
This renewed attention is largely due to a new Netflix series that explores the various theories and conspiracies surrounding her disappearance.
The series, titled Amy Bradley is Missing, recounts how the young woman from Virginia was last seen in the early hours of March 24, 1988, after a night of partying in a club on the Rhapsody of the Seas. Amy was last seen asleep in a chair on her cabin’s private balcony at around 5:30 A.M.
She was on vacation with her mother, Iva, her father, Ron, and her brother, Brad.
To this day, her family believes that Amy is still alive and may have been abducted, possibly becoming a victim of sex trafficking.
Despite her being declared dead in 2010, her family continues to assert in the documentary that they believe she is alive.
The FBI maintains a missing person’s page for Amy, which includes age-progressed images showing what she might look like today.
The Social Security Administration in the United States declares a person dead after they have been missing for seven years without any communication. Virginia, the state Amy was from, follows this standard time frame for declaring someone legally dead in absentia.
Even though Amy is legally considered deceased, this status can be overturned if substantial evidence emerges indicating she is alive.
Brad, Amy’s brother, shared on social media that the family supports the Netflix series, although he noted that it omitted ‘quite a bit of information’.
Brad admitted that to cover every detail would require ’10 seasons’, but since Amy Bradley is Missing consists of only three episodes, he believes the producers did an excellent job and is pleased with the reaction the series has received.
He remains hopeful that the Netflix documentary will bring some answers regarding Amy’s case, noting, “Still waiting for that one call.”
In a subsequent post, Brad provided a link to a GoFundMe page, writing, “For 27 years, my family has searched for Amy. We will not stop. The Netflix docuseries ‘Amy Bradley Is Missing’ is shining a light on her story and we need your help to follow leads and find answers.”
