CANADA Canada - Sarah Tessier Powell, 70, Halifax NS, 30 Sept 2012 -missing from cruise ship

[neesaki]

Neighbours in Powell’s hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana say this isn’t the first time she has gone missing


“When I first moved to the neighbourhood she came to the door and brought me some flowers and welcomed me to the neighbourhood,” her neighbour, Kelli Spring, tells CTV News. “She said she wasn’t social, but I thought she was sweet and nice.”




An FBI agent in Boston is investigating Powell’s disappearance for the United States and RCMP in Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have also been notified.

Hmmm, I wish there had been more elaboration regarding "this isn't the first time she has gone missing". :waitasec:

It makes more sense she disembarked in Charlottetown - unless she bypassed security three times!!!!! What are the chances of that?!??!?!

Interesting that there is a comment in the video that this is not the first time she has disappeared and something about "paranoia".

ETA: This is the first that I have heard of this missing woman. Must admit that ya'all are way ahead of me - I am more than a day late!

Nope .. can't see bypassing security 3 times. Can't see a woman wandering around Charlottetown either with a strong southern accent without being noticed either. This is a puzzler.

"SYDNEY—Authorities were conducting an air and marine search Thursday off Australia's east coast for two cruise passengers who were believed to have fallen overboard the night before.

The couple, Australian citizens from New South Wales state, were discovered missing Thursday morning after the Carnival Spirit docked at Sydney's Circular Quay, at the end of a 10-day journey, said New South Wales Police Superintendent Mark Hutchings"
