CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — The FBI has quadrupled the reward in the case of a 23-year-old Central Virginia woman who disappeared while on a Caribbean cruise with her family nearly three decades ago.
FBI officials confirmed that they increased the reward from $25,000 to $100,000 this week for information about Amy Lynn Bradley's disappearance in 1998. Bradley, who was born in Petersburg and raised in Chesterfield, vanished on March 24, 1998, while on vacation with her family on the Royal Caribbean's "Rhapsody of the Seas" cruise.
Authorities said she went to a disco with her brother on the day she went missing.

Despite years of headlines, FBI involvement and tips from around the world, Bradley has never been found. She would be 51 years old now.
Bradley's friends and family continued to honor her memories, though she has now been gone longer than they got to know her. Her mysterious disappearance inspired a Netflix documentary, "Amy Bradley Is Missing," which aired in June last year.
