Amy Bradley’s family maintain that she is still alive, 27 years on from her disappearance.
The woman, who was 23 when she went missing, disappeared from a Royal Caribbean Cruise in 1998, later being declared legally dead in 2010.
Due to incidents such as the appearance of a woman who shared a striking resemblance to Bradley showing up on a sex workers website in 2005, the family has held out hope that she is alive to this day.

The case has seen an upsurge in interest due to the release of a Netflix documentary titled AMY BRADLEY IS MISSING.
The documentary covers what happens, the various theories over the years that purport that she is really alive, and the state it has left her family in after decades of waiting for her to reappear.
One of the most heartbreaking details shown in the documentary that is given as proof she could still be alive involves the website the family set up to aid in finding her.
The very old school website is maintained to this day, with a forum set up featuring a pinned message from her birthday last year in which her family wrote a poem about how every morning they hope ‘maybe today’.

They also will regularly post family photos on the site of her parents and her brother Brad.
Something bizarre began happening however when the family noticed people specifically going to the website on her family’s birthdays and Christmas, spending close to an hour on the website.
This has been traced to IP addresses in the Caribbean where her family believe she was taken after being trafficked or kidnapped from the boat.
In the hours following her disappearance, the Royal Caribbean Cruise ship docked in Curaçao, during which time her family believe she was smuggled off the ship.

The detail has particularly hit home with viewers of the documentary, with one posting to TikTok saying: “Someone visiting Amy Bradley’s site every birthday and holiday for 45 minutes from a Barbados IP breaks my heart.”
Another viewer commented: “It's so heartbreaking especially after all of these years there is still [little to no] information i hope the family gets answers soon.”
The documentary is full of heartbreaking details about the effect Amy’s disappearance has had on her family.
They confirmed in the doc that they have her car polished and ready to drive in their garage for her return, with her mother Iva saying of the search for her: “It’s a life goal.

“In my quiet times, I mean, it’s just like ‘What did we miss? Because I know somebody knows something’.”
