Three new leads have reignited global attention on the Amy Bradley disappearance, a case that has haunted investigators for nearly three decades. Bradley, a 23-year-old college graduate from Virginia, vanished from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship in 1998 while it was docking in Curaçao. Now, new witness testimony, digital evidence, and claims about a possible child are reshaping the investigation.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, a female bar server aboard the ship reportedly told passengers and crew on the night Bradley disappeared, “Senorita kidnapped! Senorita kidnapped!” The source said she was quickly taken away by another staff member. Forensic expert Peter Valentin told Fox News Digital the timing of that statement could be key: “It’s really the timing of the statement, not the disclosure.”
Investigators are also examining new online activity tied to Bradley’s missing-persons website. Monitors detected “highly suspicious” visits from an IP address located on a boat near Barbados, particularly during family holidays. Valentin said repeated logins from the same region “do have some potential investigative value, because who’s in that area with knowledge of those family specific dates?”
The third and most startling lead involves reports suggesting Bradley may have had a child after being forced into sex work. Valentin said identifying that child could unlock the mystery. “If you believe there’s a child, well, who is that person? Let’s get their DNA, if that’s possible, and let’s make a comparison.”
Though no charges have ever been filed, the FBI and new investigators hope these developments will finally uncover what happened to Amy Bradley 27 years ago.
