Netflix has released a three-part series about the disappearance of Amy Bradley, and viewers have been left "infuriated" by the cold case that has gone unsolved for decades.
Netflix viewers have been left confused and "infuriated" with their new crime documentary. The streaming service released Amy Bradley Is Missing onto the platform on Wednesday and the three-parter delves into the disappearance of a young woman who suddenly vanished during a Caribbean cruise in March 1998.
‌
The then-23-year-old waitress was on a family holiday aboard the Royal Caribbean cruise ship and had been poised to start a new job at a computer consulting firm upon her return. She and her brother attended a club onboard the ship at one point during the trip, and then headed back to their cabin.
‌
But upon going to check on her in the early hours of the morning, Amy's father discovered she was gone and she has not been seen since. Mass searches took place aboard the ship, but it soon docked in Curaçao, where she potentially had the chance to slip out unnoticed amongst the 2,500 new passengers who arrived. There was concern that she had also fallen overboard and drowned, but no body has ever been found, and an investigation confused that there was no evidence to suggest that such an incident occurred.
‌
As the documentary explains, several potential sightings cropped up over the years, but nothing has ever brought anyone closer to any sort of answers of Amy's whereabouts. And when viewers began to discover Amy's chilling story as the title dropped on Netflix, they were quick to take to social media with their reactions.
One confused viewer simply wrote on X: "Amy Bradley Is Missing On Netflix WTF," whilst another wondered just "how" she was never found when "four different people" claimed to have seen her before she vanished. Amy was declared legally dead in 2010, and the viewer fumed that they were "infuriated" at how officials handled the situation.
‌
A third questioned: "Amy Bradley case - did any of the passengers witness any luggage or carts being taken off in Curaco?", whilst another said: " @FBI failed Amy Bradley ...Were they just unbothered by her disappearance, lack of care or just laziness... how do you explain their failure to follow up crucial leads? This is the first time to see a case where detectives have leads and fail to followup!"
Several theories have persisted about what happened that night, and in the documentary, crew member Alister 'Yellow' Douglas - whom Amy was seen talking to just before she disappeared - spoke out. He later passed an FBI polygraph test but recalled to her daughter during a phone call on camera: "They brought the FBI on immediately and then he said to me that they're trying to find this girl [and] I was seen dancing with her.
"Everybody that had anything to do with cleaning her room, serving her drinks, we were grounded. When they realised nothing was involved, we continued to work. And I continued to work on the cruise ship until two years later."
In 2005, Amy's mother Iva made an appearance on the Dr. Phil show to discuss a photograph of a woman who resembled her daughter but had become the victim of sex trafficking. At the time, she admitted: "It is like a stab in the heart. I've never thought that she wasn't out there. Neither has her dad. Neither has her brother. We gotta get to her!"
