Amy Bradley's ex-girlfriend has revealed her thoughts on a major theory surrounding the 23-year-old's disappearance.

Amy disappeared from a Royal Caribbean cruise vacation near Curaçao on March 24, 1998.

The Virginia native - who had been on vacation with her mom, Iva, dad, Ron, and brother Brad - was last seen on the balcony of her cabin in the early hours of the morning.

Despite extensive searches, she was never found and was declared legally dead in 2010. Her parents have never given up the hope that she's alive.

The Netflix series, Amy Bradley is Missing, examines the mind-boggling case, as well as the theory that she could've been sex trafficked.

A photo from a sex worker website emerged in 2005 of a woman who looked eerily similar to Amy.

The picture featured an insane detail - the woman was positioned in such a way to hide Amy's tattoos on her shoulders, back and ankle, which could've easily identified her.

One of the series directors, Ari Mark, told The Hollywood Reporter how her identifying details being obstructed had him 'scratching his head.'

While many reckon it's plausible Amy could've been trafficked, not everyone agrees - including Amy's ex-girlfriend, Kat Lovelace.

Kat, who met Amy at Longwood University in 1994, featured in the Netflix documentary and joined journalist James Renner for the latest episode of his podcast, True Crime This Week.

When asked if there were any surprises in the documentary, Kat brought up the FBI believing the woman in sex worker photos were Amy.

Asked if she was swayed to believe the photos were of Amy by the documentary, Kat responded: "No."

Pressed further on whether she believed the woman was Amy or not, she said: "I don't claim to know what happened to Amy 27 years ago. I have my own personal feelings about what I think may or may not have happened."

She continued: "There are some likenesses, absolutely. But there's a part of me that thinks that's not her. There's a there's a big part of me that hopes it's not her."

James agreed that it would be 'tragic' if the trafficking theory held true.

He added that he'd done a 'ton' of research and found 'there's not one confirmed case of a white woman being abducted and then trafficked in the Caribbean,' meaning Amy's case would be a 'first' if it were true.

Kat added she's heard the 'same theory' while being interviewed for the Netflix documentary.

"Whether they said that out loud or not... I'm sure they collected hours and hours and hours of information and could only put so much in in the series," she said.

"But that was one of the things, when they were talking, that they they said as well," she said, referring to the show's creators.

Other details - like Amy's family being conned by a fake private investigator - were left out of the documentary.

Addressing the Netflix show, Amy's brother Brad said via Twitter last week that 'it was not a complete account and left out quite a bit of information'.

However, Brad acknowledged that it 'would have required 10 seasons to tell it all', so given that Amy Bradley is Missing is only made up of three episodes, he said the family 'thought the producers did an awesome job overall and are happy with the response so far'.

Amy Bradley is Missing is streaming now on Netflix.
