The U.S. Coast Guard called off its search after looking for the missing woman for 31 hours.
The U.S. Coast Guard has called off its search for a missing woman who went overboard a Carnival Cruise Line ship off the coast of Mexico last weekend.
The woman, described only as in her mid-20s, was a passenger on the Carnival Miracle cruise ship. She went overboard from her room’s balcony around 3:30 a.m. Saturday, off the coast of Ensenada, Mexico, reports NBC News.
The coast guard announced it was standing down, after searching for more than 31 hours.
Carnival told the New York Times that the cruise ship had departed Long Beach, Calif., last week on a three-day cruise.
“Our thoughts are with the guest and her family, and our Care Team is providing support,” the company said.
But now, the FBI is taking over the investigation after the boat returned to Long Beach on Sunday, reports Fox News.
“We responded due to the circumstances since we have jurisdiction on the high seas,” FBI spokesperson Laura Eimiller told Fox News. “Whether accidental, foul play or otherwise, we look for evidence to determine what actually occurred.”
