Netflix viewers ‘infuriated’ over gripping new true crime documentary

A new true crime documentary has landed on Netflix, leaving viewers both ‘gripped’ and ‘infuriated’.

Amy Bradley is Missing premiered on the streaming service today, and follows the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Amy Bradley following a family cruise in the late 90s.

The 23-year-old was traveled on the Rhapsody of the Seas in March 1998, along with parents Ron and Iva, and her brother Brad – however, just a few days into their journey to Curaçao, she vanished after returning to her cabin following a night at the ship’s nightclub.

Despite an extensive search and an FBI investigation, she was never found, with the new three-part documentary exploring her final moments as well as new information surfacing over the years, and possible sightings.

While the true crime program has only just arrived on Netflix, viewers have devoured the episodes already, flocking to social media to share their thoughts on the case so far.

Reddit user AngryMango9 posted: ‘I’m halfway through and incredibly impressed. Her parents are breaking my heart. That’s unconditional love right there. I pray they get answers.’

Over on Twitter, Tiffanymariexox commented: ‘Amy Bradley is Missing on Netflix is f**king sad….’

Cole agreed: ‘Watching Amy Bradley is missing on @netflix. It’s gripping.’

Shocked by the footage, Julishwa wrote: ‘Watched @netflix Amy Bradley is Missing, and I am infuriated by @FBI and how they failed Amy.

‘How do you have 4 witnesses who saw Amy in a specific region and still do nothing waiting for Amy to knock on your office door! even putting witnesses on lie detector test.’

‘There’s a must-see true crime documentary that’s on Netflix this week,’ Dan added. ‘Honestly, I’ve never seen a true crime series that lacks evidence but can be so compelling at the same time.’

Amy was last seen on the balcony of her family’s cabin in the very early hours of the morning, after returning from the nightclub on board.

When her family went to check on her in the morning, there was no trace of her – they raised the alarm on board but she was never found.

Over the years, there have been countless reported sightings and extensive searches and, while there are no confirmed details, her loved ones have never given up hope that she could eventually return.

Director and executive producer Ari Mark opened up about speaking to them for the episodes, telling Netflix’s Tudum: ‘Most of the people [in the series] have never been interviewed. The only people who’ve been interviewed have been the Bradleys.

‘It’s one thing to talk about the void of Amy, and it’s another thing to experience it.

‘This is a family who really deeply believes in what they’re saying, and what they’re saying is, “She’s out there, we’re going to find her, and we’re ready.”’

‘On March 23, 1998, 23-year-old Amy Bradley disappears without a trace from the cruise ship she and her family were vacationing on,’ the official synopsis reads.

‘Despite thorough searches of the ship, Amy is nowhere to be found and the cruise has already docked in their next port, Curaçao, opening the door for 2400 passengers to explore the island and allowing Amy to potentially disappear into the crowd.

‘Hours later, Amy is still nowhere to be found and fear sets in that Amy may have fallen overboard before port. But a body is never discovered. The search for Amy expands as the FBI and local authorities launch an investigation where everyone becomes a potential suspect.’

The three-part series ‘delves into this cold case decades in the making as the search for Amy continues.

‘As the years pass by, possible sightings of Amy pop up in various locations from multiple people. Is it really her? Was this a tragic accident or a crime? – anything is possible. But for Amy’s family – only one thing matters: bringing their daughter home alive.’

Amy Bradley Is Missing is available to stream on Netflix now.
