Amy Bradley is Missing: The victim’s brother has one complaint against the Netflix documentary, says ‘It was not a complete account'

Brad Bradley, the brother of missing woman Amy Bradley, has shared his thoughts on Netflix’s three-part docuseries Amy Bradley Is Missing, which premiered on July 16, 2025.

While he praised the production team and confirmed that his family supports the project, he didn’t hold back when pointing out what he saw as its biggest shortcoming.

As per Independent, Brad wrote on X (formerly Twitter) just days after the series dropped and quickly became Netflix’s most-watched title:

“It was not a complete account and left out quite a bit of information.”

Brad’s post came in response to viewers asking whether the Bradley family approved of the docuseries. He acknowledged that the show brought needed attention to Amy’s case, but emphasized how much had to be left out.

“It would have required 10 seasons to tell it all,” he added.

The documentary revisits the 1998 disappearance of Amy Lynn Bradley, who vanished from a Royal Caribbean cruise while it was docked near Curaçao. Although it covers key sightings, theories, and firsthand accounts, Brad’s comment makes clear that what was shown on screen only scratched the surface of what the family has experienced in the 27 years since Amy went missing.

The post is not available on X anymore but was reported by Independent.

Here's what Amy Bradley Is Missing covers

Netflix’s Amy Bradley Is Missing is a three-part docuseries released on July 16, 2025, that focuses on the 1998 disappearance of Amy Lynn Bradley, a 23-year-old woman who vanished during a Royal Caribbean cruise. The show doesn’t rely on dramatizations.

It uses real interviews, firsthand accounts, archived footage, and previously unreleased material to revisit one of the most perplexing missing persons cases in U.S. history. Each episode runs between 40 to 50 minutes and takes a chronological approach, starting with the family vacation and ending with the most recent theories and developments.

The first episode of Amy Bradley Is Missing, centers around Amy’s final night. It introduces viewers to Amy’s family and their background—how Ron Bradley won the cruise through work, and how Amy, a former college athlete and strong swimmer, had hesitations about cruising but joined the family trip anyway.

The episode walks through the night of March 23, 1998, when Amy and her brother Brad went to the ship’s nightclub. Footage confirms Amy was dancing with a crew band member named Alister “Yellow” Douglas. Interviews with Brad, Ron, and Iva Bradley reconstruct the morning of March 24, when Amy disappeared from the balcony between 5:30 and 6:00 a.m. Her shoes were left behind, along with her tshirt, but her cigarettes and lighter were gone.

The second episode of Amy Bradley Is Missing, goes into the immediate aftermath. It shows how the ship’s crew delayed any real search until passengers had disembarked in Curaçao. Family members and passengers recount how they begged the staff to block exits and make announcements—requests that were ignored for hours.

This section also dives into early theories, including overboard speculation, suicide rumors, and the idea that Amy left voluntarily. The FBI and Curaçao Coast Guard’s initial investigations are also covered, along with interviews from ship passengers who claimed to have seen Amy with Douglas early that morning. Two passengers even said they saw him alone minutes later.

The third episode of Amy Bradley Is Missing, focuses on post-disappearance sightings and leads. It highlights several reported sightings in Curaçao and Barbados between 1998 and 2005. David Carmichael, a Canadian tourist, describes seeing a woman with Amy’s tattoos on a beach. Navy Petty Officer Bill Hefner recounts meeting a woman at a brothel in Curaçao who said she was Amy and asked for help. Judy Maurer recalls meeting a woman named Amy in a Barbados bathroom surrounded by men talking about an illegal deal.

The episode also introduces the theory that Amy could have been trafficked. One segment shows the anonymous tip about photos from an adult website showing a woman identified as “Jas,” which FBI analysts believed could be Amy. It also presents digital evidence involving IP addresses from Barbados accessing the family’s website on personal anniversaries and holidays.

The docuseries ends by giving the Bradley family a chance to speak directly to viewers. The final few minutes are devoted to Brad, Iva, and Ron sharing how they’ve kept Amy’s memory alive and why they still believe she’s out there. The show doesn’t claim to solve the case, it lays out what’s known, what’s suspected, and what’s missing.
