Young woman vanishes on Disney cruise ship

By Lipcon, Margulies & Alsina, P.A.

A young English woman has disappeared the night after reporting for work onboard a Disney cruise ship.

Rebecca Coriam's family said the 24-year-old could not have fallen overboard accidentally and they believed "something bad must have happened to her", the Daily Mail reports.

Rebecca was last seen on the Disney Wonder last Monday, not long after the $900 million ship left Los Angeles for the Mexican Riviera.

The youth activities worker failed to show up for work the next day. The ship has been searched repeatedly, but there has no sign of her aside from a reported posting on a website.

The Mail said a crew member wrote that Rebecca had been seen "jumping overboard at 3am". The newspaper did not name the website or the crew member, and the claim has not been confirmed.

Rebecca's parents are now in Los Angeles to meet the ship on its return.

The missing girl's uncle said the family was devastated.

"Becky just wouldn't disappear. People are saying she has gone overboard but I don't believe that," the Mail quoted John Jennings as saying.

"Something bad has happened to her and we want something done about it."
