All the major details about Amy Bradley's Royal Caribbean disappearance left out of the Netflix doc

Amy Bradley’s Royal Caribbean cruise disappearance has been revisited after 27 years due to a brand new Netflix documentary.

Where many true crime Netflix docs have been accused of retreading well-worn paths by regurgitating widely known theories and information, AMY BRADLEY IS MISSING has received praise for doing the opposite.

The doc covered one major detail of her disappearance from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship which fans said was the first time in 27 years they had heard about it, as well as featuring numerous interviews with those involved.

That said, many viewers have picked out major details which the Netflix documentary, with Amy’s brother Brad saying that while the family supports it that the doc ‘was not a complete account and left out quite a bit of information’.

Here are all the major details about Amy Bradley’s disappearance which were left out of the Netflix documentary.

Amy Bradley disappeared on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship on March 24, 1998, headed to Curaçao from Aruba.

As such, Amy’s family have long held a strong belief that if she were to be found, it would be in Curaçao.

This belief would be sadly taken advantage of however when Frank Jones, a self-professed former US Navy Seal emailed the family in 1999.

He claimed that he had a crack team of former Navy Seals and Army Rangers who he would take to Curaçao and bring back Amy.

During weeks of surveillance, he sent fake photos to the family and claimed his men had seen her multiple times.

Eventually he told them a mission to rescue her was underway and to wait for his call, however one of his men who had been kept in the dark overheard and called the family.

Jones was sentenced to five years in prison in 2002 for mail fraud after taking $24,444 of the family’s personal savings and $186,416 from a fund set up by a nonprofit called the Nation’s Missing Children Organization.

Amy’s family lied in court during a lawsuit against Royal Caribbean cruises

Amy’s family were found to have at one point lied in court, leading a judge to say they had perpetuated ‘fraud on the court’.

Amy’s parents Iva and Ron had sued Royal Caribbean, the cruise liner the family had been on when Amy went missing.

In the process they claimed they had spoken to three people who claimed that Amy was being held under duress in Curaçao.

The cruise liner had continued its journey to the Caribbean island despite the family having raised the alarm and told the ship’s cruise director that Amy had gone missing.

They took out wrongful death and negligence lawsuits against the cruise liner, however these were dismissed when it was discovered that Iva and Ron had lied, and they actually had spoken to over 100 tipsters who claimed they had seen her alive and well on the island.

Whilst the court did not make judgement on the legitimacy of the sources and she has never been officially found dead or alive, viewers of the doc were shocked that this detail had been left out.

Amy's brother's Scientology theories

Her brother claims one major theory of his was left out of the doc, but this was probably for the best (Netflix)

Amy’s brother has taken to X in recent times to share a theory stating that she the infamous and mysterious Church of Scientology may somehow be involved.

In a discussion on X about the documentary he even noted that no one, the Netflix doc included, had been willing to include his accusations that they were somehow involved.

This theory, which has been debunked, claimed that she had been seen speaking to two women on the boat in uniform not belonging to Royal Caribbean.

Brad Bradley claimed that it was possible that Amy had been taken off the boat to a nearby cruise ship Freewinds which was owned and operated by the Church of Scientology.

Her brother took to X however claiming to have spoken to former Scientologists who clarified this wouldn’t be possible.

He said in part: “Claire Headley was in a high ranking position at the time on the Freewinds ship and says she does not remember anything unusual nor does she remember hearing anything about it or seeing Amy.

“Valeska Paris said the same thing. They were both on the Freewinds at the time.

“I hate that my alternate theory to the ones that predominate may have been off base and cast dispersions on Scientology unjustifiably and I want to apologize if my long held suspicions were simply untrue.”

When it comes to this point, it’s perhaps for the best that Netflix left off Brad’s theories regarding the Church of Scientology being involved.

AMY BRADLEY IS MISSING is available to watch on Netflix now.
