Why does Amy Bradley’s family hold out hope she’s still alive?
Alleged sightings of Amy have been reported over the years and the FBI’s investigation remains open.
David Carmichael saw the case on America’s Most Wanted and was “100 percent” sure he saw Amy on the beach in Curacao in August 1998, he said in the doc. She approached him, Carmichael said, but then a man came up, stared at Carmichael and motioned her away.
“I think about this every day,” Carmichael said. “If I had 10 seconds more, what would I have done?”
Navy veteran Bill Hefner was in a Curaçao bar in 1999 when, he said in the series, a young woman told him her name was Amy Bradley and she was “being held against her will.”
He admittedly didn’t say anything at the time, but when he saw her on a magazine cover several years later, Hefner said, he contacted the FBI.
In 2005, someone emailed Amy’s parents a photo of a woman who resembled their daughter that, according to the FBI, was found on a website advertising sex workers in Venezuela and the Caribbean. A forensic analyst examined the photo, Special Agent Sheridan said in the series, “and believed it was Amy Bradley.”
Judy Maurer saw the case on Dr. Phil and told the FBI that she saw Amy in Barbados in March 2005. She was using a souvenir shop bathroom, she recalled in the series, and there was a distraught woman at the sinks who said her name was Amy. There was also a man by the door, Maurer said, and she recalled telling her husband, “That girl is being forced to do something.”
