Amy Bradley Investigators Uncover New Evidence in Decades-Old Disappearance (Exclusive)
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – Investigators in the decades-long disappearance of Amy Bradley have uncovered new leads pointing to potential activity and a possible sighting in Barbados, according to a source with direct knowledge of the ongoing FBI inquiry. The developments come as jurisdictional hurdles continue to complicate the case, limiting the FBIS ability to operate freely in international waters and foreign countries.
Amy Bradley vanished from the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Rhapsody of the seas on March 9, 1998, while the ship was sailing near the island of Curaçao. The case has remained open, fueled by persistent family efforts and occasional new information. A key challenge has been the limitations placed on U.S. law enforcement operating outside of its borders. “The FBI cannot just infiltrate a country and start poking around,” the source explained.
Recent activity surrounding the Amy Bradley missing-persons website, https://amybradleyismissing.com/, has heightened investigators’ attention. The site is professionally monitored, based on the theory that Bradley herself might use it to connect with family, particularly around holidays, or that potential captors might monitor it for investigative activity. A recent “highly suspicious” hit to the website was traced via geolocation to an IP address originating from a device on a boat off the west end of Barbados.
Investigators have also followed up on a potential sighting of Bradley in Barbados, interviewing the witness who reported it. The source noted the region is known for drug trafficking, adding, “A lot of trafficking of drugs takes place on the water, so that’s obviously highly suspicious.”
The investigation is also exploring a disturbing theory linking Bradley’s disappearance to sex trafficking. authorities believe Bradley may have been smuggled off the cruise ship and forced into prostitution, a scenario where victims are frequently enough drugged for control and coercion.
perhaps the most significant progress, according to the source, is new evidence suggesting Bradley may have a child. While the possibility was briefly touched upon in a recent documentary, the new information presents a more compelling case. The source believes the child is likely the result of forced sexual exploitation, rather than a consensual relationship.
“Though vague (I no more than I can share),it is indeed the most significant piece of new evidence - if Amy Bradley has a child,Amy Bradley did not die at sea,” the source stated.This finding offers a renewed hope for the Bradley family and a fresh direction for the ongoing investigation.
