Amy Bradley’s whereabouts are still a hotly debated topic 27 years on from her disappearance from a Royal Caribbean cruise.
Just 23 years old when she disappeared, Bradley vanished off a Royal Caribbean cruise ship.
The young woman had been up late dancing with her brother and members of the ship’s band, returning to her family’s cabin in the early hours of the morning.
Upon her return, her father saw her passed out at about 5.15am, however, reported how at 6am she was gone.

The search for her never found a body or concrete proof she was alive, with her disappearance the focus of a new Netflix doc Amy Bradley is Missing.
Bradley’s family maintain that she isn’t dead and was actually kidnapped or trafficked off the boat, which went into port in Curaçao shortly after her disappearance.
To this day theories maintain that she was actually trafficked, with the account of a US Navy officer contributing to this.
The officer claimed that, whilst in Curaçao, he had spoken to a sex worker who had claimed her name was Amy Bradley and she needed help.
As a result of the numerous theories suggesting that Amy Bradley is still alive 27 years on, the FBI maintain a page to try and help locate her.
The page includes simulations that suggest what she would look like if she survived the incident.
The simulations were done eight years ago and show her at 42 years old aged up from pictures of her at the time she went missing.
A reward is included of up to $25,000 for information leading to the discovery of her.
The FBI missing’s person poster says: “If you have any information concerning the disappearance of Amy Lynn Bradley, please contact your local FBI office, or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.”
The case will face renewed interest as a result of the Netflix documentary which includes interviews with law enforcement, employees on the cruise ship, and her family.
She was declared legally dead in 2010, however, investigations have shown no proof that she was thrown overboard on the cruise ship.
In the documentary, her mother Iva recalls her last encounter with her daughter before she went missing.
She said: “I said ‘I love you’ as I headed back to the cabin, and she said, ‘I love you, too, Mom. I’ll see you in the morning.’ And we went to bed.”
Iva and other members of the family have been adamant that there is no way that she would have committed suicide.
Among other details they claim prove she wouldn’t have taken her own life, the key one for her family was a newly adopted dog ‘Daisy’ who was waiting for her when the cruise returned.
Amy Bradley is Missing is available to watch on Netflix now.
