Interesting: Missing cruise passengers this year = 3

[Sara Beverley]

All are Carnival Cruise lines.

Saw the report with Debra Norvell tonight. Three people have gone missing from Carnival cruise ships this year. Is there a serial toss-overboader out there? Does anyone else find this strange? Dec, Nov, and July of this year.

1. maybe they just stayed at a port of call to escape *co's America? n/t

2. Donner party night at the Captain's table?

3. Wonder if they've been checking out the crewmen or any fellow

passengers who were on all 3 cruises? I heard the guy tonight on Norville say that Carnival didn't so much as call him until Day 10 of his wife's disappearance. There was also a fairly well-publicized case from several years ago where a young girl vanished from a Norweigian Cruise Line ship as well. Hmmm. . .

4. I hope this is the case. But 3 for 3 is a big question to me.

And the same cruise line.

5. I would hope the first thing the authorities did....

....was check the staff and passenger manifests to see if any names come up 3 for 3 on the cruises. You'd think they'd check that, but given the occasional lapses in investigative competence, one never knows.
