Case #056 - Amy Lynn Bradley

Welcome to Episode Fifty-Six of Do You Dare?   This month we are dedicated every episode to highlighting unsolved cases of missing people and this week we are covering the story of what should have been a once in a lifetime family cruise that ended in a nightmare when the families 23 year old daughter seemingly vanished into thin air.   (Trigger warnings: human trafficking and brief mentions of possible suicide.)   In this episode Cian covers the case of Amy Lynn Bradley, a young woman who mysteriously disappeared in the early morning hours of March 24th 1998 from a cruise that was mid sailing. You’d think that would have made finding Amy simply but a little over 28 years later there are still no solid answers.   Following along with our deadly duo as they look into suspicious suspects, terrifying theories, sickening scams and try to answer the question, Did Amy make it off that ship alive or are the answers as to what happened to her still smuggled aboard?   If you have any information regarding Amy’s Case please contact:   Submit a Tip to the FBI:   * Online: Use the FBI Tip Form [https://tips.fbi.gov/]. * Phone: Contact your Local FBI Office [https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices] or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.   Submit a Tip to the Family: * Email: amybradleyismissing@gmail.com * Online: Submit information directly via the Amy Bradley Is Missing Tip Page [https://amybradleyismissing.com/submit-a-tip/]. * Phone: +1-804-789-4269 (International callers should dial their exit code, followed by 1, then the number)   If you know anything please come forward, Amy’s family desperately want and deserve answers.   Thanks to everyone who has joined us for this week's case and we hope to see you back next episode when Em takes us to Canada to search for answer as we reach the 10 year anniversary of a missing 16 year old girl.   If you enjoyed this episode it would mean the world to us if you could take a minute to rate, review and subscribe!  Don't forget you can join in the conversation with us over on social media to share your thoughts and theories.  You can contact us at doyoudarepodcast@gmail.com [doyoudarepodcast@gmail.com] if you want to suggest cases, tell us your personal true crime or paranormal stories to be read out in future listener episodes or just to say hi!   *Ad included at the beginning of this episode is for The Creators Collective and you can find them by following the link below   https://linktr.ee/CreatorsCollectivePodcasters [https://linktr.ee/CreatorsCollectivePodcasters]   (sources for this episode were: listed in the episode.)
