La desaparición de Amy Bradley

This is an interesting yet sad true story of a young woman who went missing on a cruise ship.

It is in 3 parts.

The events occurred more than 25 years ago.

The family who was together with her on the cruise ship have never stopped grieving and hold out beliefs that she is still alive.

One theory is she went overboard unintentionally or otherwise.

Another theory is that she was taken from the ship and used for sex trafficking.

A spotlight falls on one of the crew members.

There are some witnesses claiming to have seen her after she disappeared.

So what happened and is she still alive or dead?

My own view is: with all the publicity over this case can one really believe that she is still with us?

The family are clinging to the view its' better not to lose hope.... ...so good luck to them....

A well presented production.

7/10.

Such a frustrating documentary. So many egregious failures... The spineless twit of a former navy man who Amy approached for help, and who didn't report the incident until years later when he was retired, for fear of getting into trouble. Ugh, you couldn't report it anonymously??

The blonde tourist woman who ran into Amy in obvious danger and distress in a public restroom, and didn't immediately call the police?

Royal Caribbean, who derailed investigation efforts, in an effort to cover themselves.

The captain who forsaked his fundamental duty to protect his passengers.

What is wrong with people??

And then there is our illustrious FBI. Despite multiple credible reports of this woman being sighted in a small geographic area, they didn't send undercover agents to visit the brothels? To walk the streets? They didn't track the IP addresses in Barbados? Despicable and inexcusable. Lazy and incompetent. Your tax dollars at work folks! This shows you how much trouble your government would go to to help you if you were in trouble - virtually none.

Such a frustrating documentary. And all those insisting she went overboard are suffering from cognitive dissonance because they don't want to admit what a widespread problem trafficking is, and that this horror story can happen to literally anyone. Yes, including YOU reading this, or your kids. It's much easier for most to blame the victim than face reality.

So sad and frustrating.

As a fan of true crime documentaries, I went into Amy Bradley Is Missing without knowing much about the case - just that it involved a disappearance at sea, which immediately piqued my interest. The idea that someone could vanish from a cruise ship is incredibly mysterious, and the show leans heavily into that intrigue.

That said, the pacing is noticeably slow. The first episode is a real slow burner, taking its time to build up. It's not until the second episode that things start to pick up with the introduction of darker themes like sex trafficking. Even then, it takes a while before it becomes truly gripping.

At this stage, I'm finding it a bit of a drag. There's a lack of emotional connection for me personally, and while the mystery is compelling, the presentation hasn't quite drawn me in as much as I hoped.

Overall, it's a decent watch if you're into slow-building mysteries, but don't expect to be instantly hooked. It might be more rewarding for viewers with patience and a strong interest in missing persons cases.

With all that was said and watch...I just feel so very sorry for her parents and her brother. I can't even imagine the pain that they have carried for so many years. Everyday, they continue to hope against hope that they will be reconnected with Amy! What surprised me the most, was that her parents were still married. That the stress of all this, did not drive them apart, to divorce. That says a lot about their love for Amy and their love for each other. I'm not sure how I would react in this situation. Do I give up? But then to have multiple, possible sightings...whew!..My heart goes out to them...

Why didn't anyone,go knocking down doors? Especially after any sightings.

Talk to hospitals,schools,businesses.

Nothing significant happened either,when that website got repeated location hits.

If she did get pregnant based on witness testimony about Amy mentioning kids,that would mean some health/child provider or even an educator might have information.

If the kids Amy mentioned weren't hers it still means,there is kids she was around or even their families.

Was like nobody really looked past certain ship distance,due to this excuse or that.

Netflix did seem to drag things out more for sensationalism than anything,however maybe fresh eyes on the case might bring closure good or bad.

Who knows.. If Amy has kids & with technology now,anything could finally be possible.

Lastly who cares about influencers,has creditable reporting died?
