WILLEMSTAD – The family of Amy Lynn Bradley, the American woman who mysteriously vanished during a Caribbean cruise in 1998, says public interest in her case has surged following the release of the Netflix documentary "Missing: Amy Bradley." This renewed attention has resulted in thousands of new tips from around the world. 

Brad Bradley, Amy’s brother, told TMZ that the family has received messages from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Scotland, and the United Kingdom. However, they were surprised by the lack of leads from the Caribbean—specifically from Curaçao, where Amy disappeared in March 1998 while on a Royal Caribbean cruise. 

Among the tips are numerous photos from people claiming to have seen women resembling Amy. The family, however, does not believe any of the images match her. One lead came from a man who claimed to have purchased sex from a woman he believed to be Amy, describing distinctive tattoos she had. The family is now trying to contact him. 

Another woman suggested a possible match with someone who died in a hammock in Barbados last year, but the family dismissed it due to a mismatch in age. 

Some tips allege Amy may have been seen working at a car wash or spotted at a restaurant. Despite assistance from a private investigator and an open FBI investigation, none of the leads have produced concrete results. 

Bradley says the family remains hopeful. They are currently pursuing several leads that could potentially change the course of the case, although it's too early to determine their legitimacy. 

The family has also launched a crowdfunding effort to help cover costs related to investigating promising leads. According to Brad, the Netflix special has breathed new life into the 26-year-old case. “We feel like we have another chance to find her,” he said. 

Amy Lynn Bradley was 23 years old when she disappeared without a trace from the Rhapsody of the Seas cruise ship on its way to Curaçao. Her case remains one of the most haunting unsolved missing persons cases in the Caribbean.
