Famous Investigator Joins Cruise Ship Disappearance Case
ABC News
_______
While on his honeymoon last July, George Smith vanished from his cruise ship as it toured the Mediterranean Sea. Fellow passengers said they heard a struggle in his cabin, and the next morning, they saw blood on the awning below.
Smith was nowhere to be found. His family wants answers — so now a big-name investigator is coming in to assist. Dr. Henry Lee, a forensic specialist who worked on the O.J. Simpson trial and on the JonBenet Ramsey case, will board the ship for two hours today to investigate the scene.
Smith, 26, of Connecticut, has yet to be found and is presumed dead. "After six months, the chances for finding something are really remote," Lee said. "However, we cannot just give up." Smith's wife, Jennifer Hagel-Smith, criticized the cruise company, Royal Caribbean, for cleaning up the blood in the cabin where the struggle occurred. She said that had the stain been secured, the mystery might already have been solved.
