The brother of the missing woman featured in the hit Netflix docuseries “Amy Bradley is Missing” spoke with Fox News Digital to disclose further information in the case that was not discussed on the show. 

Amy Bradley has been missing for 27 years since she vanished from the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Rhapsody of the Seas just before it docked in Curaçao on a March 1998 vacation. The documentary sheds light on Bradley’s case – from the circumstances of her disappearance, to witness sightings, to her family’s grueling decadeslong quest for answers about what exactly happened to her. 

The series focuses heavily on Alister “Yellow” Douglas, referred to only as Yellow by those familiar with the case, who was the bassist in the cruise ship’s band and is the Bradley family’s top suspect in her disappearance.

David Carmichael, a Canadian diver, also said in the docuseries that he may have seen Bradley while visiting Curaçao, adding that she was “flanked by two people,” one of whom he suspected was “Yellow.” Another Curaçao sighting was reported by Navy veteran Bill Hefner, who believes he saw a distressed Bradley at a taboo local bar, but did not report it because of fear of reprisal from his military superiors. 

From 2002 until 2008, risqué photos bearing a striking resemblance to Amy surfaced on the website of what appears to be a now-defunct Venezuelan tourist escort resort, according to a blog dedicated to finding Amy. Those photos were featured in the docuseries. 

Other theories have also been posited about her disappearance, mainly that she either fell off the balcony accidentally or jumped off intentionally. The Bradley family vehemently denies either of those explanations.

In his heart of hearts, Brad knows Amy is still alive, and so does the rest of the Bradley family. 

“My parents and I have shared kind of an unexplainable gut feeling in this sense that she’s still out there, and I don’t know how to better explain that to people or make it more relatable, because it’s an unrelatable kind of thing,” Brad said. 

“People just don’t understand how we could possibly feel like that, and I can’t really explain it, but we do, we’ve all shared it, we’ve never talked about her in the past tense.”

Royal Caribbean did not return a comment request. Neither did Yellow. 

The FBI declined to comment.
