Date: March 24, 1998
Bruise: Missing
Bruise Location: At Sea Near Aruba
Name: Amy Lynn Bradley
Age: 24
Home Town: Chesterfield, Virginia
Cruise Line: Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines
Ship: Rhapsody Of The Sea
Attorney: None
Reward:$250,000US
Key Points:
Amy was traveling with her mother, father,
and younger brother. They saw her on the
cabin balcony at 6am.
She was missing at 7am. It is known that
Amy left her Cabin in the wee hours of the
morning of March 24, 1998, with her cigarettes
and lighter, and no shoes on her feet.
It is felt where she was going she would not
need shoes, probably inside.
It is known that the last person seen with
Amy in the early hours of the morning was
a cruise ship band member of a group known
as 'Blue Orchid' by the name of 'Yellow'.
There were other crew members who spent
time with Amy, Katalin (from Hungary),
Eduardo Cabrito (a waiter),
David Cato (a waiter), and,
Patrick (a waiter).
One scenario suggests that Amy may have
willingly met with a crew member who
she had come to trust who then put her in
a position of coercion, or even more probable,
Amy may have observed an illegal activity
and become a liability.
The ship had just docked before it was
noticed she was missing, and it is thought
perhaps she went shore, unwillingly,
without her shoes.
