Why does Amy Bradley’s family hope she is still alive?
A suspected sighting of Amy has been reported for years, and the FBI investigation is still open.
David Carmichael, America’s most wanted person, was “100% certain” he saw the incident and saw Amy on a beach in Curacau in August 1998, he said. She approached him, Carmichael said, but then the man appeared and stared at Carmichael and moved her.
“I think about this every day,” Carmichael said. “If I had 10 more seconds, what would you have done?”
Navy veteran Bill Hefner told him in the series when he was at a bar in Curacao in 1999, that she was named Amy Bradley, and that she was “confined against her will.”
He apparently didn’t say anything at the time, but when he saw her on the magazine cover a few years later, Hefner said he had contacted the FBI.
In 2005, someone emailed Amy’s parents a photo of a woman resembling her daughter found on a website advertising sex workers in Venezuela and Caribbean, according to the FBI. Forensic analysts looked into the photos, and special agent Sheridan said in the series that he “and believed it was Amy Bradley.”
Judy Maurer told Dr. Phil that he saw the incident and saw Amy in Barbados in March 2005. She used the bathroom in a souvenir shop, and she remembered in the series, and there was a woman who was distraught by sinks who said her name was Amy. There was also a man by the door, Maurer said, and she recalled telling her husband, “That girl is being forced to do something.”
