Amy Bradley Disappearance

In March of 1998, Amy Bradley, a 23-year old girl from Virginia, went on vacation with her parents and brother on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship, Rhapsody of the Seas. While they were in the vicinity of Curacao in the Netherlands Antilles, Amy mysteriously vanished from the ship. Amy's family last saw her on their suite's balcony in the wee hours of the morning of March 24, and eyewitnesses reported seeing her in an elevator with a member of the ship's band sometime afterward. The ship docked in Curacao shortly after Amy's parents reported her missing, but it was not locked down while the crew searched for her. Seven years later, Amy's parents were E-mailed a photograph from an adult escort website featuring a woman who resembled her.

It is speculated that Amy may have been smuggled off the ship in Curacao and sold into sexual slavery. There have been numerous eyewitness sightings of her over the years. One of them came from an American sailor who visited a brothel in Curacao and claimed that a woman who said her name was "Amy Bradley" asked him for help before she was escorted away. While Amy's family have launched an extensive investigation to find her, her ultimate fate is still unknown.
