Kim and Khloé Kardashian are ready to add “true crime investigators” to their resume. The sisters are among the millions of people who have learned about Amy Lynn Bradley’s case over the years, but they have some serious resources and are ready to help solve the cold case that dates back to 1998.
Amy Lynn went missing in March 1998 from Royal Caribbean’s Rhapsody of the Seas, and she has been the subject of documentaries and true crime podcasts for decades. However, Netflix’s recent doc “Amy Bradley Is Missing” has taken the world by storm and rekindled the spotlight on her case.
When Kim watched the documentary, she shared a photo of the doc on her IG story, writing, “This doc is mind-blowing. Must see “Amy Bradley is Missing.” We must find Amy! This is so crazy.”
Sources told TMZ that the sisters reached out to Amy’s mom, Iva, last Thursday via phone call to get more information. According to the outlet, they talked for about an hour and caught them up to speed. They noted that there were no cameras present, and it was all out of love.

The sisters were reportedly especially interested in the fact that an IP address in Barbados kept looking at the Amy Bradley Is Missing Website. They also chatted about some ideas around how they could help.
It’s not the first time Kim has gotten invested in things; the aspiring lawyer has rallied behind men on death row, urging them to stop their execution.
What happened to Amy Lynn Bradley?
In March 1998, 23-year-old Amy was on a Caribbean cruise with her parents, Ivan, Ron, and brother Brad. After dancing in the ship’s nightclub, Amy returned to her cabin with her brother around 3:40 a.m., according to door-lock data.
By 5:30 a.m., her father saw her asleep on the balcony. But by 6:00 a.m., she had vanished.

The Netherlands Antilles Coast Guard started a four-day sea-and-air search while the cruise line launched its own search efforts. Obviously, both came up empty.
One of the leading theories is that she accidentally fell overboard. Suicide also became a theory, but her family has always maintained that she was not suicidal.
Foul play is also a theory. Her family and many others believe she was abducted from the ship and taken to Curaçao for human trafficking. There have been photos sent to the family of a woman who appears to look like Amy on a sex worker website, seemingly based out of the Caribbean.
Sighting Claims
Over the years, multiple people said they saw Amy or someone like her on beaches, in stores, bars, or involved in sex work.
Most recently, Amy’s brother shared that a retired Curaçao police officer named Herman Goilo claimed a “verified” sighting of Amy in 2016. His family hired a private investor to speak to him in November 2024.

Amid the tragedy, her family has received thousands of tips, has been scammed for hundreds of thousands of dollars from private investigators, and has been victims of online hate. With the new spotlight and the Kardashians’ help, maybe the case will finally be solved.
