Amy Lynn Bradley: Will Her Cruise Ship Disappearance Ever Be Solved?
23 years on, Amy’s family are still haunted by her mysterious vanishing.
In March 1998, vivacious college graduate Amy Lynn Bradley from the US state of Virginia was heading out on the trip of a lifetime: a cruise around the islands of the Caribbean with her parents Ron and Iva and her brother Brad.
However, it was a trip from which she would never return. More than two decades later, her family has been left wondering if they will ever find out what happened to the daughter and sister who appeared to simply vanish without trace.
That fateful night
Amy and her family had embarked on a weeklong trip aboard the Rhapsody of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean International Cruise Line ship. It set off from Puerto Rico to its first port of call, Aruba, on March 21st 1998, then was scheduled to sail on to Curacao in the Antilles.
The family had been enjoying the voyage and, on the night of March 23rd, Amy and her brother headed to the ship’s nightclub to dance into the early hours. Although they spent much of the evening together, Brad decided to return to his cabin a little earlier than his sister.
