She became very sad and said that she was her good friend and they had not found her. We were at see on Monday when she was last seen and didn't dock until Wednesday morning in Puerto Vallarta so it looks really bad. It's very sad.

There is only one policeman assigned to the case, and he is thousands of miles away in the Bahamas because that is where Disney's cruise ships are registered. What has Disney done to prevent it's employees from falling or jumping overboard like this? Has it changed any procedures or equipment? Or is this girl just forgotten? How very sad. If a Cast Member at a Disney theme park went missing like this so mysteriously, and was presumed dead, it would be a huge deal. How interesting that in the cruise industry employees can be killed off like this and no one really cares after a couple days. Very odd.
