Samantha Broberg, 33, was reported missing by her travel companions. A ship-wide search was conducted and the ships camera footage was reviewed, Carnival said.
The video shows that she fell into the Gulf of Mexico from the 10th deck of the ship at approximately 2 a.m. Friday, but the Coast Guard was not contacted until 5 p.m. Friday, when her disappearance had been confirmed. By then the search by the US Coast Guard is delayed for 15 hrs and the night is closing in.
The Coast Guard said aircrews searched through the day and into the evening Saturday, and after stopping the search for the night when darkness fell Saturday, planned to resume at first light Sunday.
"Based on the video analysis, it appears she climbed up and sat on a deck railing and subsequently fell backwards," Carnival spokeswoman said.
Carnival Liberty departed from Galveston, Texas, on a four-day Mexico cruise on Thursday.
A mystery that happens more often and the information is not clear. Just a thought.
