RSSThe Widow of Missing George Smith aboard Mediterranean Sea Cruise Ship Jennifer Hagel Smith to Remarry .. 29 Year Old Financial Analyst Jeff Agne
Jennifer Hagel to remarry after the bizarre and mysterious death of her first husband George Smith aboard the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Brilliance of the Seas.
Jennifer Hagel Smith & George Smith
Jennifer Hagel Smith, the woman whose husband, George Allen Smith IV, mysteriously disappeared aboard the a Royal Caribbean cruise ship during a Mediterranean voyage on their honeymoon is set to remarry. George Allen Smith IV vanished from their honeymoon cruise in the Mediterranean July 5, 2005
Their honeymoon started out like this …
Jennifer Hagel’s engagement to 29 year old financial analyst Jeff Agne comes even as legal fallout continues from her first marriage to George Allen Smith IV. The wedding is set for October 24, 2009 at a luxury Vermont resort. I guess the couple has opted for the mountains rather than the water?
And it ended like that
There has long been a battle between the family of George Smith and Jennifer Hagel Smith following the mysterious disappearance of George. Made worse by the fact that Jennifer Hagel Smith settled with Royal Caribbean and had some less than kind words regarding the deceased George Smith.
This cannot set well with the Smith family, nor any of Jennifer Hagel’s actions since the disappearance of George Smith.

Fox 11 News Los Angeles References Scared Monkeys in Death of Shirley McGill by Husband Robert McGill Aboard Cruise Ship Carnival Elation
Hat tip to Fox 11 News for their Scared Monkeys reference in the crime coverage of the murder Shirley McGill aboard the Carnival Elation, watch video below.
Robert and Shirley McGill
All too often we are covering a crime or missing persons case aboard a cruise ship where someone has fallen overboard like HERE, HERE and HERE. Or when individuals are possibly pushed overboard or a mysterious death like George Smith on the high seas with no suspects ever arrested. However, that was not the case of murdered 55 year old Shirley McGill. It would appear that Robert McGill has all but confessed to the crime:
Then, gesturing to the family members, he was heard to say, “That’s putting more financial burden on top of the pain and horror I’ve caused this family.”
Robert McGill killed his wife aboard the Cruise ship Carnival Elation as they celebrated Robert McGills 55th birthday. What a way to spend one’s birthday and the last Robert McGill will ever be partaking in as a free man. See the picture from the SD Tribune of Robert McGill being arrested and escorted off the Carnival Elation.
According to the San Diego Tribune, Robert McGill confessed to federal agents that he killed his wife.

Central Bank of Aruba Says Aruba in Further Economic Decline … Aruba Haunted by Natalee Holloway
Down down, down … and once again, it is not the B-52’s singing Lock Lobster.
Just when Aruba claimed it was safe to go back in the water and things were better in Aruba following the turmoil, unrest and distrust from their actions in dealing with the investigation of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, the Central of Aruba now says Aruba is in further economic decline. Tax revenues down, overnight visitors down, number of residing visitors down, cruise ship passengers down, cruise ship visits down and the average inflation over twelve months increased with 0.4 percent points to 6.8 percent, compared to the same month in 2008
The Central Bank of Aruba (CBA) concludes that the Aruban economy is declining further. The revenues of the ‘bbo’-tax in March dropped with 8.7 percent compared to the same period last year. The revenues are a reflection of the profit mainly generated in the month before.
The number of overnight stays on the island during the months of February and March decreased, as well as the number of tourists residing on the island, as previously known. The number of residing tourists during the months of February and March decreased with respectively 7.7 and 13.3 percent compared to the same months in 2008. The number of overnight stays decreased with respectively 6.2 and 10.7 percent.

Six men in a small, white Zodiac-type boat approached the Msc Melody at about 1730 GMT Saturday and opened fire with automatic weapons, Msc Cruises director Domenico Pellegrino said. They retreated after the security officers returned fire and sprayed them with water hoses. The ship continued its journey with its windows darkened.

UPDATE I: Missing Cruise Passenger Could Be Alive in Warm Waters of Mexico’s Gulf Coast
UPDATE II: Family of Missing Jennifer Ellis-Seitz Believe she Jumped
The family of missing Jennifer Ellis-Seitz have stated that she suffered from emotional problems in the past. They do not believe that there was foul play, only an unfortunate ending to her life.
Family members on Monday said she previously had suffered from emotional problems.
“The family suspects that Jennifer chose an unfortunate ending to her life,” family members said in a press release e-mailed to FLORIDA TODAY. “She was a beautiful and caring person and will be truly missed by all who love her.”
Family members say that Ellis-Seitz and her husband, Raymond, were celebrating their one-year anniversary on the cruise. They had invited Ellis’ mother along.
“There were no outward signs or indication of anything being wrong or unusual,” both families said in the joint statement. “Jennifer, however, has had previous emotional issues.”
UPDATE III: Missing Cruise Passenger Was Bipolar
UPDATE IV: Missing Cruise Passenger Probe May Take Weeks
Court records show Raymond Seitz was arrested in April after Ellis-Seitz called 911 and told authorities he grabbed her wrist when they were arguing and hit her forehead with his forehead. About two weeks later, she signed a written statement saying she wanted the charges dismissed.
In the written statement, she said “the charges are overblown and that there were underlying aggravations, including my own actions.”
Court records show Seitz completed a domestic violence course and that charges against him were dismissed.
