Netflix revives 1998 cold case of a missing lesbian cruise ship passenger

Netflix recently premiered a new true crime docuseries called Amy Bradley iI Missing, and it focuses on a lesbian cruise ship passenger who mysteriously went missing in 1998 and has yet to be found. Bradley was a passenger on Royal Caribbean International’s Rhapsody of the Seas, which was headed for Curaçao, and before the boat docked, she was nowhere to be found.

Adtzere "John" Mentar, the Harbor police chief, led the search for Bradley with other agencies and is still befuddled about what happened to her. "I'm telling you, if she came off the ship or fell off the ship, we would get a body," he said in the series. "She would have washed ashore."

The docuseries features interviews with friends, law enforcement, and relatives (some of the last people to see Bradley) as they try to find out what happened to her.

Bradley was on vacation with her parents and youngest brother, on the cruise that her parents had won through a work contest. On March 24, 1998, her father, Ron, reported her missing in the early morning after having just seen her in a lounge chair earlier that day. Immediately, the crew was notified and began searching for her, along with local law enforcement, in the waters around where the boat had stopped. The FBI also opened an investigation, which was unsuccessful.

Over the show's three episodes, the documentary team follows different threads, trying to determine whether she went overboard or if she was smuggled off the boat and no one noticed. If you're interested in learning more, the show is now available to stream on Netflix.
