Brad explained that Chris Fenwick, a video editor working on the ship, came forward about the cover-up. Fenwick allegedly told Brad that cruise staff pressured him to remove Amy from surveillance footage. “Steve Smith never spoke to security – it was everybody’s favourite cruise director,” Brad revealed during the interview.
“Steve Smith never spoke to security… it was everybody’s favourite cruise director.”
This accusation raises serious questions about how cruise ships handle missing persons. Brad emphasized that the cover-up directly impacted the investigation. Missing video evidence could have been crucial to solving what happened to his sister.
Witness Timeline Contradictions Brad Is Highlighting
Brad also exposed inconsistencies in official timelines reported by crew members. According to his latest interview, Oscar Alexander, a roommate of Amy’s friend “Yellow,” gave the FBI a statement.
Oscar claimed he and Yellow returned to their cabin at 1:00 a.m. – hours before Amy went missing. Brad says ship security knocked on their door between 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. – before Amy’s disappearance was officially reported.
This timeline contradicts previous official statements released by the cruise line. Brad believes these inconsistencies point to a coordinated cover-up. The family has been investigating these details independently for nearly three decades.
Brad questions why crew accounts changed over time and why security records were vague about early morning activities aboard the ship that fateful night.
The FBI’s Cold Response and New Investigation
Brad expressed frustration over the FBI’s handling of his sister’s case. A new FBI agent has been assigned to investigate Amy’s disappearance – 27 years after she vanished.
“There was supposed to be a meeting set up in August that never happened,” Brad said. He revealed that 98 days passed between family contact and the FBI’s response.
| Investigation Details | Status |
|---|---|
| Case Status | Open Investigation |
| FBI Agent Assigned | New Agent (No Prior Knowledge) |
| Missing FBI Files Access | 27 Years of Documents |
| Recent Contact Gap | 98 Days Without Communication |
| Netflix Documentary | Released July 2025 |
Brad worries that assigning a fresh FBI agent means starting from scratch. The new investigator must learn decades of complex case details. Brad speculates the family may not have full access to files to support their search efforts.
What Brad Bradley Wants Changed in the Cruise Industry
Brad isn’t just seeking answers about his sister – he’s pushing for systemic change. He’s calling for “Amy alerts” on cruise ships, similar to amber alerts for missing children.
His demands include:
- Mandatory independent security on all cruise ships, not hired by the cruise line itself.
- “Amy alerts” – instant notifications on passenger phones about missing persons.
- American flag requirement for cruise ships headquartered in the United States.
- Federal police presence to investigate crimes at sea properly.
- Video evidence preservation as mandatory protocol for all disappearances.
Brad argues that current systems protect cruise lines, not passengers. He believes independent oversight could prevent future tragedies like his sister’s disappearance.
Is Amy Bradley Still Alive After All These Years?
The family refuses to believe Amy fell or jumped from the ship. Brad’s emotional testimony supports the theory that his sister was trafficked or taken against her will.
He emphasized Amy was not struggling with her sexuality or having family problems. She had just gotten a new apartment and a dream puppy. She was sending postcards to friends and making plans for the future.
“We were one of the tightest families and closest families you will ever know,” Brad said. The family remains hopeful Amy might still be alive somewhere in the Caribbean or beyond.
The FBI offers a $260,000 reward for information about Amy Bradley’s disappearance. Anyone with tips can call 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit tips.fbi.gov with information about what happened to Amy on that fateful morning in March 1998.
