'New leads' in relation to the Amy Bradley case have reportedly emerged following her mysterious disappearance from a cruise ship 27 years ago.
The college graduate, 23, was on board the Rhapsody of the Seas with her parents Ron and Iva Bradley, and her younger brother Brad, in March 1998.
She was last seen by her father sleeping on the balcony of their cabin at around 5.30am on 21 March. When Ron went to check on her 30 minutes later, she was gone.
Amy's body was never found and all that was left on the ship were her sandals.

Her disappearance is back in the spotlight with the release of Netflix's three-part documentary series Amy Bradley is Missing.
The doc has since generated new leads, with director Ari Mark telling the US Sun 'they have had a few leads come in' but 'they're not verified yet, so they may very likely be false leads'.
Suggestions that she was trafficking, or pushed overboard have lead to a number of theories online.
Now, a new source close to the production of the Netflix crime series has told the Hollywood Reporter (THR) that a female bar server from the night of her disappearance has given their version of events.

The source claims that the server who doesn't speak much English told those on board: “Señorita kidnapped! Señorita kidnapped!”
They also alleged that the server was then told to 'shut up' before she was taken to the back by a bartender.
She was supposedly not included in the documentary because her identity was not known when it was being filmed.
The source also said to THR that there was a 'highly suspicious' hit to her missing-persons website where people can share new information about the case.

So, in the documentary, there was a suggestion that Bradley could have a child, and the source claimed that they have received new information about this potential.
Addressing these 'updates', the FBI said to the outlet that they 'have nothing further outside of the seeking information poster'.
“Tips can be submitted via 1-800-CALL-FBI or at tips.fbi.gov,” the force said.
A sex trafficking theory was sparked after a US Navy officer claimed he saw a woman in a brothel in Curaçao who told him she was 'Amy Bradley'.

Some years later, a photo of a woman resembling Amy surfaced on a sex worker website, causing more speculation.
However, ex detective Peter Valentin told Fox News Digital that, in his experience, eyewitnesses tend to convince themselves that they've seen someone.
The former Connecticut State Police officer said: "Our memories are not perfect recorders of events that happen to us or around us but a bit more malleable than I think we are willing to recognise.
"This case, I think, will hinge on someone remembering that they know something because of this remerging in the public eye."
