Overview

  • The three-part Netflix series “Amy Bradley Is Missing” has generated a surge of new tips and online investigations nearly 27 years after Bradley vanished from a Royal Caribbean ship in Curaçao.
  • Legal expert Francisco Mundaca cautions that unprecedented evidence such as DNA linked to Bradley would be required to prompt the FBI to reopen its suspected abduction probe.
  • Observers point to complex jurisdictional hurdles involving U.S. authorities, Curaçao officials and the cruise line’s own security protocols as a key obstacle to renewed forensic work.
  • Bradley’s family continues to collaborate with investigators and is advocating for mandatory onboard “missing person” alerts and stronger cruise-ship safety measures.
  • Eyewitness reports—from beach sightings to bar encounters—and unverified online leads have driven calls for a modern forensic and electronic evidence review of the cold case.
