At just 23, Amy had recently graduated from university and set sail with her family, her parents Ron and Iva, and her younger brother Brad, on what was supposed to be a relaxing Caribbean holiday. But on the early morning of March 23rd, 1998, Amy vanished. She had returned to her cabin around 3:35am after partying at a nightclub onboard. By 6:15am, she was gone. No note. No trace. Just silence. Despite an intense search involving helicopters and coast guards, not a single piece of evidence was recovered. Coast Guard official Henry Vrutaal stated in the doc that it was 'the biggest search' they had ever conducted, yet they found nothing. The island of Curaçao, where the ship had docked, offered no answers. Kim is hooked on true crime, and wants answers This is not the first time Kim has spoken out about a haunting true crime case. She recently shared her reaction to Amazon Prime's One Night In Idaho, which follows the 2022 university murders that shocked the nation.
