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.

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.
