What to expect from Amy Bradley Is Missing
On March 21, 1998, Amy Lynn Bradley, along with her family, embarked on a cruise to the Caribbean island of Curaçao. Two nights later, following an evening at the ship's nightclub, Amy was last spotted on the balcony of her cabin.
The next morning, her father found a polo shirt and a pair of sandals in her room, and no sign of Amy. Despite an FBI investigation into her disappearance, Amy has never been found.
The synopsis reads: "Amy Bradley Is Missing delves into the mysterious disappearance of Amy Bradley, who vanished during a family vacation aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship in 1998. Featuring interviews with the Bradley family — namely, her parents and brother — eyewitnesses from aboard the cruise ship, and FBI investigators, the documentary investigates the circumstances leading to the enduring mystery of her disappearance."
The series features first-ever interviews with "key figures", including Lori Thompson, who claims she spotted Amy with an entertainer on the ship, Alister 'Yellow' Douglas, shortly before she disappeared. These claims were investigated by FBI agents, who released Douglas with no evidence to charge him in connection with the case.
The filmmakers also interviewed Douglas's daughter, who had never spoken publicly about the case before.
What have the creatives behind the show said?
The series is directed and executive produced by Ari Mark and Phil Lott, who are known for their work on This Is the Zodiac Speaking and The Invisible Pilot.
Ari told Tudum that the Amy Bradley case is "one that is very well known among hardcore true-crime fans, [but] not necessarily to the larger public."
Phil added: "You've got this ultimate whodunit in this location, which is a cruise ship. And this one has a crime scene that both moves, and moves on in time as the cruise ship continues this journey. So you are looking at this case asking, 'How the heck can you get the answers you need to solve a case?' And those questions … keep this mystery unfolding."
