The brother of a woman who went missing from a Caribbean cruise ship 27 years ago has revealed what he really thinks happened to her.
The recent college graduate set off on a seven-day trip with her parents and younger brother Brad from the Puerto Rican capital of San Juan on Saturday, March 21, 1998.
Two days later, as they set sail for the island of Curacao, Amy and Brad partied at the ship’s nightclub, after which she was seen resting on her balcony.
But when her father checked on her early the next morning, she had gone, leaving no trace apart from a polo shirt and some sandals – and she has not been seen since.
The case has made headlines once more as it’s re-investigated in a brand new Netflix documentary, Amy Bradley Is Missing.
It arrived on the streaming platform on July 16 and has since opened the floodgates for new theories and speculation over what happened.
Amy’s brother Brad has now shared what he believes happened to his sister while speaking on British TV to ‘This Morning’ hosts Emma Willis and Joel Dommett.
The Bradleys have always been adamant that Amy neither fell nor jumped from their balcony, because she was scared of how high it was.

Amy Bradley vanished while on a family holiday in 1998, and, despite potential sightings, the case has never been solved.
Joining the ITV show on via link with his mother, Brad said from Virginia: ‘Well obviously we don’t know where she is.
‘Since the show came out we’ve gotten thousands of tips, leads and people sending prayers, love and different ideas.
‘We think what happened to Amy was that she was targeted.’
‘She was seen, taken and removed from the ship and we believe she was trafficked into some kind of sex trade situation,’ Brad continued.
‘Obviously we need that one person who knows something to come forward and help us.
‘Actually, I think there’s more than one person who knows but we’re waiting on that one call that breaks this thing open.’
Before the release of Amy Bradley Is Missing, the family hoped the program would spark more tips, jog some memories and lead to real answers.
However, her family have faced cruel trolling and backlash from Netflix viewers.

Brad previously told the Daily Mail the documentary has been particularly difficult for his mother.
‘Back then, there was no cell phones, there was not a whole lot of internet going on, there was no social media,’ he said. ‘There was none of that.’
‘The upcoming series has been really tough on Mom, mostly, emotionally,’ he added.
‘And Dad obviously doesn’t like that part of it for all of us.’
