Police investigated and discarded many theories regarding Amy's disappearance. It is unlikely that she fell overboard and drowned given that she was a trained lifeguard and the ship was close to shore at the time of her disappearance. It is also considered unlikely that Amy voluntarily disappeared to start a new life. She had recently graduated from college and was anticipating starting a new job when she returned to her home in Chesterfield County, Virginia.
There were possible sightings of Amy in Curaçao in 1998 and 1999. Two Canadian tourists reported seeing a woman resembling Amy on a beach in Curaçao in 1998. The woman's tattoos were reportedly identical to Amy's. Bradley has a Tasmanian Devil spinning a basketball tattoo on her shoulder; the sun on her lower back, a Chinese symbol, on her right ankle and a Gecko lizard, on her navel. She also has a navel ring.[1]
In 1999 an American sailor reported that he went to a brothel on Curaçao and was approached by a young woman. She told him her name was Amy Bradley and asked for his help. At this point, two men in the bar escorted her upstairs. Unfortunately, by the time the witness reported this to police several months later, the brothel had burned down.
She was also potentially spotted in 2005, when a witness claimed she was seen in a department store restroom in Barbados.[2]
An image of a young woman resembling Amy that was emailed to her parents was shown on the Dr. Phil show, and it suggests that she may have been sold into sexual slavery.
There is a $250,000 reward for information leading to Amy's return.
In January 2011, CNN Justice raised speculation that a jawbone found in Aruba might belong to Bradley.[2]
