Amy Bradley: The FBI Raised the Reward to $100,000 — What This Actually Means

The FBI has increased the reward for information in Amy Bradley's disappearance from $25,000 to $100,000.

That's a fourfold increase — and it didn't happen on its own. In this special Monday mini-episode, host Kevin Hall breaks down what's behind the announcement, why this almost certainly reflects 28 years of sustained pressure from the Bradley family, and what a reward at this level actually means for a case that has gone unanswered since March 24, 1998.

This episode covers:

What the FBI's reward increase signals about the current status of Amy's case and the ongoing involvement of the Washington D.C. field office
Why this development is almost certainly the result of continued advocacy by Ron, Iva, and Brad Bradley — and what that says about a family that has never stopped fighting
An honest look at what rewards do and don't guarantee — and why $100,000 changes the calculus for anyone sitting on information
A direct call to action for anyone with knowledge of Amy's disappearance — however partial, however old
A preview of what's ahead this week: Episode 3 "The Last Morning" on Tuesday, and the debut of Witness Wednesday on Wednesday with Chris Fenwick — the third-party video editor aboard the Rhapsody of the Seas who had footage of Amy dancing with Alistair Douglass on the morning she disappeared

If you have information about Amy Bradley's disappearance, contact the FBI Washington D.C. field office at 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov. Tips can be submitted anonymously. Both links are in the show notes.
