The FBI has a page dedicated to Amy Bradley’s disappearance, and interest in her story has increased following a new documentary.

Amy Lynn Bradley went missing while she was on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship 27 years ago and rumors have long circulated about what happened to the 23-year-old.

The Virginia native was partying in the Rhapsody of the Seas club on March 24 in 1988 and was last seen sleeping in a chair on her cabin’s private balcony around 5.30 A.M.

She had been vacationing with her mom, Iva, dad, Ron and brother Brad. Following Amy’s disappearance, they instructed the ship's captain to conduct a massive search for her.

The New Netflix series, Amy Bradley is Missing delves into her disappearance and examines the case, featuring conspiracy theories on what could have happened.

The three-part series covers a lot of her case, but doesn't give a 'full account' of what happened in the 27 years since her disappearance, Amy's brother Brad has said.

Amy is described as standing at 5-feet-6-inches, and weighing 120 pounds. She has green eyes and was last seen with short brown hair.

The FBI also notes: “Bradley has the following tattoos: A Tasmanian Devil spinning a basketball on her shoulder; the sun on her lower back; a Chinese symbol on her right ankle; and a Gecko lizard on her navel. She also has a navel ring."

Despite major searches both on and off the ship, Amy was never found and was declared legally dead in 2010, however, her family still remain hopeful that Amy is still alive somewhere.

Despite the declaration in 2010, the FBI still has a website dedicated to Amy’s disappearance and it is here that they offer any updates on her case.

The website also offers aged up images of Amy to show what she could potentially look like now.

The page states: “The FBI is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the recovery of Amy Lynn Bradley and information that leads to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the person(s) responsible for her disappearance.”

While some suggest that Amy may have simply fallen off the cruise ship, one popular theory is that Amy was taken and potentially sold into sex trafficking.

The Netflix documentary addresses this theory and discuss a moment Amy’s family believe they found someone matching her likeness on a sex worker website.
