Amy Bradley's brother just debunked his own conspiracy theory about her disappearance
True crime fans have been gripped ever since Netflix's retelling of Amy Bradley's disappearance, Amy Bradley is Missing, first aired – and now, her younger brother, Brad, has been sharing his own unconfirmed theories about how his sister seemingly vanished over 25 years ago. Here's what we know about Amy Bradley's brother today and his thoughts on what could have caused his sister to go missing from the Royal Caribbean International cruise ship, Rhapsody of the Seas, while en route to Curaçao back in 1998. Brad Bradley is Amy Bradley's younger brother who was also on board the Rhapsody of the Seas cruise ship along with their parents, Ron and Iva, at the time of Amy's disappearance. Since she vanished on 24 March 1998, the family have refused to give up hope and continue to raise awareness of Amy's disappearance. Over the years, there have been numerous alleged sightings of Amy, everywhere from Barbados to California, leading some to believe she could have been kidnapped and sold into the illegal human trafficking industry in the Caribbean. Another alleged theory is that Amy was murdered and thrown overboard, however there is no evidence to confirm either theory. Now, Amy's brother, Brad, has spoken out about a further conspiracy theory he has in relation to his sibling and is appealing for information. These days, along with the docuseries, Brad is continuing to fight to find his sister by posting on social media platforms such as X and TikTok. In one post he thanked those who've offered support. "I wanted to convey how meaningful it is to me and the entire family, how much love and support and prayers and car[e] there's been in Amy's story after all these years," Brad said in one TikTok video. "It's one of the most heartening things I've ever experienced in my life." However, he also told People magazine the family have faced a torrent of abuse, "Over the years, we've grown some pretty thick skin, because there's always that side, you have the side of prayers, and support, and love, and caring, and all that good stuff. And then you have people just trying to chew us up and spit us out." One possibly unexplored angle which was not included in the series, or so Brad claims, is his idea that members of the religious organisation (or cult, depending on who you ask) Scientology could have had some involvement in Amy's vanishing. The controversial group has been the subject of many documentaries itself. On X, Brad has described how, in their distress shortly after Amy went missing, his parents requested for a priest to join them on board the ship to pray and for comfort. While one couldn't be found, the family were instead visited by two members of the Scientology church, who, in Brad's eyes, were asking intensely personal and suspicious questions, such as what Amy's favourite snacks were or her preferred brand of cigarettes. "They told us that they assist people who are grieving and suffering loss through various methods," Brad claims. He has also recalled two women seen speaking to Amy prior to her disappearance and has appealed for information on them. "The night before Amy disappeared, 23 March, 1998, during the pool party before we went to the dance club, Amy was talking to two black women in matching uniforms off to the side for close to an hour," he wrote on X. "The uniforms were not Royal Caribbean uniforms. They had on navy blue knee length skirts and lighter blue, button-up oxford shirts. Remember that. "My parents walked over to them to let Amy know they were going to bed. When they walked up, the two ladies, who had appeared very friendly during their conversation with Amy, did not speak or introduce themselves when my parents came over. We do not know who these women were. The FBI says they are aware of who they are, but would never share any information regarding them with us." He added, "Over the next couple weeks after returning home to Virginia, I did a lot of research about Scientology, the Freewinds [a ship owned by a Church of Scientology-affiliated company], Sea Org, etc. and found that the uniforms of some of the staff on the Freewinds MATCHED what the two black ladies that Amy was talking to the night before were wearing. I believe it is possible that those ladies boarded our ship with the group of performers and a large entourage of people that boarded the ship in Aruba that night. "I believe it is possible that they were Sea Org recruiters that coerced/convinced Amy to meet them in the morning for a tour of the Freewinds. I believe it is possible that she agreed, she went, and then was not able to get back off of their ship." He later, however, rolled back on this theory, claiming he'd spoken with former members of Scientology who were on Freewinds at the time and who "explained to me that they think the possibility of Amy being taken onto the Freewinds, by any measure, would be extremely unlikely". "They all, however, say it is really weird that those two guys came to our room in the Otrabonda hotel that night," Brad noted. "They explained their methods and all felt that the methods I described sounded in line with what they do in those situations where they are counselling people with grief and loss and may have well been just trying to help us, however weird the situation may have been." He added, "Now, I think I have been satisfied enough that the chance that Amy was taken onto that ship and/or into Scientology is close enough to zero to put it to bed." Brad and the family are still urgently calling for any members of the public who have any information to get in touch via amybradleyismissing@ They have also started a GoFundMe in a bid to finance their continued search for Amy.

Katie Price family panic about her weight loss as mum fears eating disorder and dad has bizarre theory about ‘thin' legs
KATIE Price has admitted her family are worried over her weight loss as her parents called her out about it. The mum-of-five, 47, was joined by her sister Sophie on the first episode of her new podcast, The Katie Price show. 3 3 As the podcast was wrapping up, the sister duo was joined by Sophie's dad and Katie stepdad Paul as talk soon turned to Katie's weight loss. On the episode, Katie, who recently showed off her newest surgery, asked her dad: 'What are you looking at?' to which he replied: 'Look how thin them legs are, terrible they are, my hand can go round them.' She replied: 'They're obsessed with my weight,' as Sophie chimed in: 'You are thin.' Katie was heard insisting: 'I am happy,' as her dad retorted: 'No it's not right, it's probably that vaping crap.' The reality star, who showed off a hilarious snap, continued: 'Mum said last night, you must be bulimic or something. I said… JJ do I throw my food up? No, I eat.' Sophie went on to reveal that their mum Amy called her to tell Katie she was worried about her weight loss. She revealed: 'Mum called me the other day and said I'm going to have a word with Kate because she's too thin. I think mum saw a picture on Instagram and she wasn't happy.' Katie responded: 'My legs do look thin, but I like it.' The I'm A Celebrity star's rapid weight loss has been a topic of discussion for a while now, with even her fans being worried about her. Earlier this week, the former glamour model posted a series of photos of recent family time she's spent with her parents, nieces and son Harvey, 23. Emotional Katie Price reveals Harvey was in tears on the phone after she dropped him off at new home "This week's family photo drop," Katie captioned the post on her official Facebook page. Katie also shared a photo posing with her two nieces where she was standing between them wearing a t-shirt and black leggings. "My beautiful nieces," she captioned the post, but many people were distracted by her very slim frame. "Katie, please gain some weight," commented one fan as another penned: 'Poor Katie.' A third worried follower asked: 'Is she okay?' She previously addressed her fans' worries with a video on Snapchat and said the concerns were 'driving her mad'. Katie admitted in the clip: "Yes I've lost weight. Yes that what I've wanted to do, I've wanted to lose weight. "Because the past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I'd never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair. "And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. "So yeah I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn't me." Continuing to address the backlash, she said: "Everyone is talking about it - it's driving me mad. "If you look at old old pictures of me in the Jordan days, I was always skinny. But today where i have lost weight, I feel, my butt looks like a deflated balloon."

Female Contestants Aanu, 29, Essex, Singer As a singer, Aanu is often performing at weddings so is surrounded by other people's love stories which reminds her of how lonely she is in her own personal life. Disillusioned with the dating scene, she has only had one serious relationship of four years and is starting to lose faith in finding lasting love. Aanu prides herself on being a strong woman, but what she really longs for is to settle down and build a family. Amy, 33, Brecon, Wales, Primary School Teacher Amy has been single for two years since her last relationship broke down when she suggested they start a family. She describes herself as the "life and soul of the party" and has recently moved back to her native Wales after living in Dubai for the last few years. Now back on home soil, family-orientated Amy feels more than ready to find someone to build a future with. Ashleigh, 30, Surrey, Cabin Crew Manager Serial dater Ashleigh is fed up with men who enjoy the kudos of going out with an air hostess but refuse to commit. Single for four years, she wants to meet someone who she connects with emotionally and lay down the foundations to start a family. Nicknamed 'Combat Barbie' due to her links to the army cadets, Ashleigh is into pole fitness, calisthenics and loves a man in uniform! Bardha, 32, London, Sales and Marketing Director Bardha had been engaged to be married when she found messages to another girl on her ex-fiancé's phone. She ended the relationship immediately but still dreams of her happy ever after and would love her mother, who has battled cancer, to walk her down the aisle. Born in Kosovo, Bardha came to the UK as a young girl with her family to flee the war in her homeland. She says it's unusual in her culture for a woman of her age to be unmarried and her parents would love to see her settled down. Christine, 35, Limerick, Ireland, HR Operations Lead Christine has had her fair share of heartbreak and admits that bad boys are her downfall. The Monica from Friends lookalike finds it hard to date in her small rural town where the guys are already snapped up. As an only child, Christine would love to be able to provide her parents with a grandchild and is hoping the experiment will lead to the white wedding she's always dreamed of. Danielle, 33, Portsmouth, Estate Agent Business owner Danielle thinks her career success makes dating difficult but is hoping to meet someone whose work ethic matches her own. She has been cheated on several times in the past which means she sometimes finds it difficult to trust but feels ready to be open and honest as she looks to find 'The One'. Holly, 30, London, Private Chef Holly's culinary business took off two years ago when her LinkedIn profile blew up and went viral, and now her clients include everyone from celebrities to schoolchildren. She wears her heart on her sleeve and tends to fall for guys quickly but finds it difficult to meet men who are emotionally available. She's hoping that will change with Love is Blind UK. Katisha, 31, Dumfries, Scotland, Nanny and Makeup Artist The eldest of seven children, Katisha has been single for more than six years and feels eternally unlucky in love. She says she needs the help of the experiment to widen her search and find men outside of her small hometown who are ready to commit. Katisha has a lot of love to give and is looking for a husband, not a boyfriend. Laurie, 37, London, Interior Stylist Laurie has been single for three years since splitting from her boyfriend over the two of them wanting different futures. She tends to date younger men and friends think this is where her love life is going wrong. Laurie is throwing herself into the experiment as she feels she's tried every other method of meeting someone and is now happy to give something unconventional a go. Loll, 31, Bedfordshire, Account Manager, Sales Loll's friends would describe her as a "loose cannon" and the one with all the outrageous dating stories. Loll's grandparents were married for nearly 70 years and she hopes to find the same happiness they did. Loll would love to find someone to drink red wine and make pasta with her in the kitchen, with That's Amore on repeat in the background. Megan, 28, London, Dancer and Fitness Instructor Megan says her best asset is her fiery red hair and she always brings the energy with her. Single for the last two years, she finds it difficult to meet people due to the travelling required in her line of work. She also reckons a lot of men don't take her profession seriously which could also be hindering her from finding someone ready to settle down. Sarover, 29, Buckinghamshire, Medical Company Owner Sarover grew up in a modern Indian family and has never had a serious relationship or dated outside of her ethnic background before. Growing up, she believed that a boyfriend should be the one she intended to marry and, as a result, ended up friend-zoning men. The eldest of three sisters, Sarover is the only one who is single and is ready to take charge of her love life in the Pods. Sophie, 28, Manchester (originally Shropshire), Senior Commercial Manager Despite ending a five-year relationship a year ago, law graduate Sophie doesn't think she's ever been in love and says she's scared of having her heart broken. Sophie admits she can be confrontational but thinks her over-protective dad and four brothers could be the reason she's still single. She's most attracted to men who can stand up for themselves and won't let her walk all over them. Tara, 33, Wicklow, Ireland, Café Owner Tara finds it tough to meet men in Wicklow because the dating pool is relatively small. Her last relationship ended 18 months ago after more than two years together because she felt they were recycling the same jokes and small talk. Tara was told by a fortune teller that she'd be engaged by September, so watch this space! Yolanda, 26, Hampshire, Specialist Occupational Therapist Adrenaline junkie Yolanda has been single for two years. When she was 15, she accidentally walked into a window and ended up in a coma but has learned to be proud of her scars. Although she's the youngest in the experiment, Yolanda feels mature beyond her years and more than ready for marriage. Male Contestants Billy, 35, Bangor, Northern Ireland, Army Physical Trainer Billy has been single since his divorce five years ago and finds the modern-day dating world "a complete minefield". He often feels like the third wheel as most of his friends are settled down and as a result, doesn't socialise as much as he used to. Divorce hasn't put Billy off marriage and he's keen to be a husband again and start a family with his life partner. Charlie, 28, Essex, Electrical Engineer Self-confessed "cheeky chappy" Charlie has had his confidence and trust dented in the past, but now feels ready to settle down. A former 'Jack the Lad' and party boy, Charlie has put those days behind him and is looking for an older, more mature woman to do life with. Chris, 33, Sussex, Data Analyst Chris is a hopeless romantic and isn't afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve and shower his potential partners with thoughtful gifts and date ideas. Despite this, Chris has been single for a year and thinks his struggle to find love is down to his failure to prioritise himself. Chris is a self confessed nerd with a love of numbers, but still hasn't found 'The One' and he is hoping Love is Blind UK can change that. Demola, 30, Essex, Financial Analyst Demola has thought about every detail of his wedding day from a young age and is looking for a wife he can be emotionally in tune with. He has been single for two years following an eight-year relationship which ended because he didn't feel able to be vulnerable with her. Family is hugely important to Demola and he hopes to emulate his parents' long-lasting marriage. Jack, 33, London, App Creator In his career, Jack is the brains behind some of the world's biggest dating apps, but hasn't been able to find his own forever swipe right. At the age of 30 Jack was rushed to hospital with appendicitis. Weeks later he was informed that a cancerous tumour had been found on his appendix.

He says his girls are his biggest achievements and he would love to have more children in the future. James used to divide his time between the UK and Thailand where his mum is from. He reckons not being in one place for long has affected his love life. Javen, 28, Kent, Health Coach Javen was on Crystal Palace's books until the age of 18 when a heartbreaking injury put an end to his promising football career. He has never had a serious relationship and was happy to be single in his early twenties.
