Amy Bradley’s family debunk major theory used to argue that she died on cruise ship

Amy Bradley’s family have debunked a major theory used to argue that she died on the day of her disappearance in 1998.

The woman, who was 23 at the time she disappeared, was last seen on a Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship and has been missing for 27 years.

Her disappearance has seen a second life of interest after Netflix’s Amy Bradley is Missing went viral worldwide, leading to 100s of new leads arising according to her family, some of which are horrifying.

One major theory, however, used to argue that Amy may have actually died was linked to the disappearance of another girl, Natalee Holloway.

Holloway went missing from Aruba, the Caribbean island where Amy’s Royal Caribbean cruise ship set off from.

The search for Natalee's body never led to a discovery, despite a convicted murderer admitting to how and where he killed her, pushing her body out to sea.

In the initial search in 2005, a jawbone was found washed ashore in Aruba and was checked against Holloway’s dental records.

The check came back negative, however, at the time, CNN pointed to the at the time cold investigation into the disappearance of Amy Bradley.

They stated that the jawbone had not been checked against any other dental records, however, had been confirmed to be a Caucasian woman.

This led some to suggest that this could be proof that Amy had fallen or jumped off the side of the ship to her death as no other signs of her body have ever been found.

Brad Bradley, when asked about this stated that the theory is missing key facts.

He replied to a query on X, saying: “Wrong information. We sent Amy’s dental records at the time which did not match.”

Brad’s X account has been a source of information regarding the case in recent weeks with Amy’s brother also answering a major unanswered question regarding the case.

Despite continuing to campaign to find her and maintaining that she is still alive, Amy Bradley’s family actually declared her legally dead in 1999.

Brad revealed why that was the case in a post to social media, stating that it was on the advice of lawyers prior to a lawsuit against Royal Caribbean, which the family lost.

Thankfully for Amy’s family, they claim that the Netflix documentary has led to multiple leads.

One of those horrifically saw a man claim to have purchased a woman he believes is Amy for sex, whilst visiting an island in the Caribbean.

Amy Bradley is Missing is available to watch on Netflix now.
