Another passenger over board!

Searchers looking for a woman believed to have fallen from a cruise ship off the Yucatan coast of Mexico have seen no sign of her, a U.S. Coast Guard spokesman said Friday afternoon.

Lt. Matt Moorlag, based in Miami, said crews would work into the night to find 33-year-old Jennifer Feitz, whose husband reported her missing aboard the Norwegian Pearl about 3:40 a.m. Friday.

Ship personnel called the Coast Guard for help when they couldn't locate Feitz.

Moorlag said he had not spoken with the woman's husband.

The search was centered about 15 miles east of Cancun, Mexico, in the Caribbean Sea, said Petty Officer 3rd Class Nick Ameen, a Coast Guard spokesman.

"Initial reports indicate the guest may have gone overboard while the ship was at sea, east of Cancun," a spokeswoman for the Miami-based Norwegian Cruise Line said in a statement.

AnneMarie Mathews said the ship left Miami on Sunday on a seven-day western Caribbean cruise.

The Coast Guard dispatched an Air Station Miami HU-25 Falcon jet crew, and a C-130 fixed-wing aircraft crew from the Air Station in Clearwater, Florida, also was headed to the site, Ameen said.

The Mexican government was aiding the search with a helicopter crew and three water- and ground-surface crews.

It doesn't sound good, but I hope they find her...

I heard about that earlier. So sad! I agree with Rose, though, why would somebody do that....and if it was an accident, how could it happen? Still....so sad and tragic

That's horrible. I sure hope this turn out okay for the family

This is so sad - I see today that the employer and her mother say that there is a strong possibility that she jumped. She has apparently indicated previously that she wanted to commit suicide. I just can't imagine.......

Hello,

Some of the things i have read and heard.......

I believe in April of 2008 her husband headbutted her in a quarrel and successfully finished some sort of course.

She has had bizarre behaviour and mood swings over the last few years.

She and her husband were happy together and got along and were looking forward to starting a family.

Just seems so strange that by all accounts in recent months she seems to have been happy. Then jumps? I just don;t understand.........and to do it on a cruise with probably the 2 most loved ones in your life?
