Episode 34: Lost at Sea – The Mysterious Disappearance of Amy Lynn Bradley
In this chilling episode of Super SUS, we dive into the perplexing and still-unsolved disappearance of Amy Lynn Bradley, a 23-year-old woman who vanished without a trace while on a family cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Rhapsody of the Seas in March 1998.
A Vacation Turned Nightmare
The Bradley family set sail from Puerto Rico on what was meant to be a celebratory Caribbean cruise to Aruba and Curaçao. Though Amy had a known fear of open water, she eventually agreed to join her family for some much-needed relaxation before starting a new job.
On the night of March 23, 1998, Amy was seen enjoying a lively Mardi Gras-themed party with other passengers and members of the ship’s band, including Alister “Yellow” Douglas. She returned to the family cabin in the early hours of the morning—but by sunrise, she was gone.
Her father found the balcony door slightly open, her shoes missing, and no sign of Amy anywhere. Despite urgent pleas from the family, ship staff delayed announcements and lockdown procedures, and by the time the ship docked in Curaçao, Amy had vanished.
Lingering Questions & Unsettling Clues
Over the years, there have been alleged sightings of Amy in the Caribbean, and the Bradley family has remained vocal in their belief that she was abducted—possibly as a victim of human trafficking. These sightings have never been confirmed, but they keep hope and suspicion alive.
