Amy Bradley's family speak out on horrifying 'new lead' following Netflix documentary

Amy Bradley’s brother has spoken out after ‘new leads’ were found following the recent Netflix documentary.

Bradley disappeared off a Royal Caribbean cruise ship in 1998 and has never been seen again.

Her case has seen a number of developments over the years, with her family convinced she had been found on a sex worker’s website in 2005, though opinions on this vary.

The biggest recent development however is the Netflix documentary Amy Bradley Is Missing which has revitalised interest in her disappearance.

Now however Amy Bradley’s family have spoken out about a horrifying potential ‘lead’ that came out following the Netflix doc.

Brad Bradley, Amy’s brother, speaks in the documentary about the family's belief that she is still alive to this day.

The Bradleys believe that Amy was somehow trafficked off of the boat and held in Curaçao.

Ari Mark, the filmmaker behind the documentary, was the first to state that new leads had come from the popular Netflix doc.

Speaking to the US Sun, he said: “We have had a few leads come in, but I can't discuss them and they're not verified yet, so they may very likely be false leads.

“This was always about one thing: finding Amy. But to ensure that the audience is activated, they have to want to help.”

Brad Bradley has now also confirmed the fact that new leads have arisen in a new interview with TMZ.

Brad spoke to TMZ yesterday, saying in his interview that a number of people had sent leads and pictures resembling Amy.

He said: "There have been thousands of emails and phone calls that we've gotten that we're going through one at a time."

Though none of them have so far sent pictures they believe are her, one horrifying lead has left the family desperately trying to establish contact.

He said: "There are certain leads that we've gotten that we need to follow up on, that we can't rule out without looking into it."

He explained that one man had claimed to have purchased a woman for sex he believes was Amy, even describing her tattoos in detail.

Though information is available about her tattoos via the FBI missing persons page, it does not go into great detail and so the family believe this is a credible sighting of Amy.

This is not the first time there have been reported sightings of sex workers resembling Amy, with one US Navy member telling the Bradley family he had encountered a woman at a brothel in Curacao he believed to be Amy.

He told them a woman had come up to him and said her name was Amy and she needed help, however didn’t come forward for several years for fear of being reprimanded by the Navy.

Speaking about the new leads, Brad Bradley said: “We have people fielding emails and calls constantly.

“We’re hopeful. Some of the new tips could blow the case wide open, but it’s too early to say.

“Thanks to Netflix, we feel like we have another shot.”
