Jill Begora, 56, was reported missing by her husband on Saturday around 9am as the Royal Caribbean vessel arrived at Prince George Dock.<\/P><\/p>\n
There was no record of her disembarking and a search by the crew found no trace of her. Coast Guard officials were alerted in case Mrs Begora had fallen overboard.<\/P><\/p>\n
A helicopter and C-130 plane began to search 20 miles east of Nassau, where the ship was located when Mrs Begora’s absence was first noted.<\/P><\/p>\n
Lt Commander Terry Johns, US Coast Guard press liaison officer, said although it was very unlikely they would have found someone at night, they conducted a search around 7pm on Saturday as well.<\/P><\/p>\n
“Of course it was very unlikely we would find somebody at night like that, but we tried anyway. We don’t know if this is a criminal act or an accidental thing.<\/P><\/p>\n
“We don’t even know if she fell overboard – we only know that the woman did not disembark the vessel. She has simply vanished he said.<\/P><\/p>\n
The Royal Caribbean arrived back in Port Everglades yesterday, where the Coast Guard is expected to conduct an onboard investigation and turn over its findings to the FBI.<\/P><\/p>\n
