WASHINGTON (AP) The mysterious disappearance of a Connecticut man during a honeymoon cruise is drawing congressional attention to a seamy side of the glitzy cruise industry.

Priorities...priorities...
I saw a piece on Dateline about this case a few months ago. There are a lot of unanswered questions. Where was the bride when hubby was supposedly getting tossed off a balcony?
Kicking her off the boat was strange.
What??
Greta is all over the cruise lines and missing passengers on her show right now..
Someone tell Congress to get back to work on issues that affect all of us and not just a few..
I've been following this story. Gotta be foul play involved, IMHO.
Yeah like steroids in basball or the college football BCS.
Can I copy from Yahoo? I was reading where she said she was forced off the ship after her husband disappeared. That just sounded strange to me. I would have thought she would have been the # 1 VIP
If it's an AP article you can copy from Yahoo.
And she's talking? I hadn't heard the first word from her.
"The Smith family has suffered an unimaginable loss and we extend our deepest sympathies to the family," Purdy said. "We do not know what happened to George Smith ... but we continue to cooperate fully with the FBI in the hope that the agency will be able to provide solid answers and some measure of closure for the Smith family."
He said Smith's wife was not forced to leave the cruise ship.
The FBI is investigating, but no one has been charged and no body has been recovered.

Was this guy drunk?
Smith's wife, Jennifer Hagel Smith, says ship officials forced her from the vessel after her husband's disappearance and abandoned her in Turkey, where she ended up at a police station and later a hospital with no food, money, clothing or ticket home.
Strange, huh?
She had an insurance policy? Or maybe the husband's family has money and she gets half his inheritance. And a newly married couple that didn't spend 24/7 with each other? The question of where she was when this happened is a really good one.
I have heard there have been many unprosecuted rapes by crew members.
It was Leon Klinghoffer. I believe that was either done
by Abu Abbas or Abu Nadal the swine that threatened to
murder Col. North.
