‘We’re hopeful’ — Inside the global wave of fresh tips, photos and alleged sightings since Netflix’s Amy Bradley Is Missing — and why the family believe some leads could crack the case - suong

Since Amy Bradley Is Missing released on Netflix, the creators of the show and the Bradley family have revealed they’ve been overwhelmed with tips regarding the case. The show has been watched by millions, and now a flurry of new information has been shared by people all over the world.

Amy Bradley went missing from a Royal Caribbean cruise in 1998. To this day, nobody knows what happened to her. During the Netflix documentary, a bunch of sightings and theories were addressed. And now, people have flooded Amy Bradley websites and her family with information, having watched the show.

Brad Bradley has said the family has had “thousands” of tips, from all across the world. Information has come in from Australia, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa and England. Very few of the tips have come from the Caribbean, where Amy vanished from. “People are sending in photos of women who resemble Amy,” Brad said, speaking to TMZ. He did add that he doesn’t think any of them are Amy.

It was detailed that one woman said she heard about someone who died in a hammock in Barbados last year, who may have been Amy, but the age of the woman reportedly didn’t match up.

Other tips include sightings of Amy working at a car wash, or being spotted in a restaurant. Brad has said the family is currently chasing every lead they can. So far, nothing has provided a significant breakthrough.

Brad also added that one person shockingly got in touch and claimed he purchased sex from a woman he believes was Amy. The sender was even able to describe her distinctive tattoos in detail. The family is currently trying to get in contact with him.

Brad Bradley confirmed the FBI is still investigating the case, and the family is working closely with a private investigator. “We have people fielding emails and calls constantly,” he said. “We’re hopeful. Some of the new tips could blow the case wide open, but it’s too early to say.”

Filmmaker Ari Mark has also spoken about the number of tips the show has had about the case. “[We’re] very pleased with how the series has been received. The buzz around the show is incredible,” he said. “That’s what we want. The more people that know Amy’s story – the better.”

He then said a few tips have come in since the three-part show, but nobody wants to get their hopes up yet. Information is still in the stages of being verified.

The show’s creators also previously shared they think Amy is alive, and back the theory she may have been taken and trafficked. Speaking about the photos found on an adult website, claiming to be of Amy Bradley, they said they are “very convincing” and “blew us away”.
