Amy Lynn Bradley disappeared from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship in 1998 and was never seen again. But the story didn't end there. From botched investigations to sightings in brothels, and even alleged attempts to cover it up--this case is riddled with red flags.

In this first installment of our Vanished IRL series, we break down what really happened the night Amy went missing, why the cruise ship's response raised eyebrows, and the disturbing theory that she may have been trafficked.

She didn't ghost. She vanished. And the red flags were there all along.
