FBI searching for woman who disappeared on family vacation in 1998
Authorities continue searching for a woman who went missing while she was on a cruise to the Caribbean with her family nearly three decades ago.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said Amy Lynn Bradley, of Petersburg, Virginia, was last seen on March 24, 1998. At that time, she was 23 years old and vacationing with her loved ones aboard the Royal Caribbean International Cruise Line’s ship Rhapsody of the Seas.
The FBI said the agency is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information that leads to Bradley, as well as information that leads to the identification, arrest, and conviction of whoever is responsible for her disappearance.
According to a news release, the ship departed San Juan, Puerto Rico, on March 21, 1998 and headed to Aruba. Two days later, it made its way to Curacao, Netherlands Antilles, with Bradley going missing the next day.
FBI Special Agent Erin Sheridan said Bradley went to a club with her brother, Brad, along with other passengers and crew, the night before she went missing.
"In the morning, when her parents and her brother woke, Amy was gone," Sheridan said in a video included in the release.
Brad was the last person to see her alive, according to authorities. He said the last word he said to Amy were I love you.
In 2017, the FBI shared age-progressed photos of what Bradley might look like. The agency described Bradley as a white woman who has short brown hair, green eyes, weighs 120 pounds, and is 5 feet 6 inches tall.
The FBI also said Bradley has several tattoos, including a Tasmanian Devil spinning a basketball on her shoulder; the sun on her lower back; a Chinese symbol on her right ankle; and a Gecko lizard on her navel. She also has a navel ring.
The agency said anyone who has information about Bradley's disappearance was urged to contact their local FBI office or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.
