The United States Coast Guard has given up the search for an elderly Canadian woman who went missing on a cruise ship somewhere between Bahamas and Florida. The Coast Guard air and sea units have been searching for the 47-year-old woman day and night since two days.
On Thursday, the Department of Foreign Affairs alleged the department knew about that a Canadian citizen has gone missing from a cruise ship in the Caribbean.
“Canadian consular officials in Florida are working with local authorities and the cruise line to gather additional information on this case and stand ready to provide consular assistance as required,” the department said.
According to Glenn Ryerson, vice president for sales and marketing at Celebration Cruise line, the woman was reported missing on Wednesday. She was accompanied by her boyfriend during the voyage. Last he saw her at around 1 a.m. that morning.
The entire 350-person crew carried out a comprehensive search for the missing woman. The matter is now been taken up by the FBI.
“So far there is no evidence of anything. We are just in a wait and see mode,” Ryerson said.
The Cruise Victims Association said this incident is fifth of its kind this year and over 170 people have gone missing at sea since 1995.
