Netflix’s gripping new documentary Amy Bradley Is Missing is capturing global attention with its emotional retelling of a mysterious and heartbreaking disappearance at sea. The three-part docuseries chronicles the 1998 vanishing of 23-year-old Amy Lynn Bradley, who went missing while on a Caribbean cruise with her family.
Amy was last seen lounging on her balcony after a night out dancing at the ship’s nightclub. But by the time her father checked on her the next morning, she had vanished without a trace, sparking one of the most baffling missing-person cases in maritime history.
Now, over 27 years later, Amy Bradley Is Missing has become Netflix’s top-watched title, reigniting public interest in the case and eliciting emotional responses from viewers worldwide.
Brother Reacts: “We Support It… But It’s Incomplete.”
Amy’s brother, Brad Bradley, took to social media to share his thoughts on the series. While he praised the documentary’s impact, he voiced disappointment that it didn’t fully capture the depth and complexity of the case.
“Yes, we support it, but it was not a complete account and left out quite a bit of information,” he posted on X (formerly Twitter). “It would have required 10 seasons to tell it all, but we thought the producers did an awesome job overall and are happy with the response so far.”
Brad also expressed hope that the renewed spotlight on Amy’s story would encourage people to come forward with leads. In a follow-up message, he emphasized the family’s unwavering commitment:
“For 27 years, my family has searched for Amy. We will not stop. The Netflix docuseries Amy Bradley Is Missing is shining a light on her story, and we need your help to follow leads and find answers.”
He also linked to a GoFundMe campaign created to raise resources for the search, which includes hiring legal experts, private investigators, and travel for credible leads.
A Chilling Final Night at Sea
Speaking with NBC affiliate WWBT’s 12 On Your Side, Brad recounted his last interaction with Amy. After they danced the night away in the ship’s nightclub, Amy told him she felt seasick and wanted to rest on the balcony.
“She said, ‘I’m going to stay out here on the chaise lounge. I need fresh air. I don’t want to be in a closed room right now.’ So, I told her I loved her,” Brad recalled.
When he woke the next morning, Amy was gone — but her clothes were inside the cabin, suggesting she had returned before vanishing.
Despite multiple reported sightings over the years and alleged photos surfacing online, Amy has never been found.
A Wake-Up Call About Cruise Ship Safety

With viewers calling it “gut-wrenching” and “shocking,” the series leaves a lasting impact.
