The coast guard has suspended their search for a missing 63-year old passenger who was reported missing Tuesday.

Celebrity cruise line says the Celebrity Millennium’s closed-circuit video surveillance shows the woman climbing over the railing Monday night and letting go.

The 2,000-passenger cruise ship was sailing from Cabo San Lucas to San Diego when the woman went missing. The woman was last seen by her brother in her cabin onboard the Millennium on Monday night between 8:00 and 9:00. When the ship arrived in San Diego on Tuesday, the woman was not onboard and authorities were notified.

Celebrity says the ship’s GPS satellite marked the location where the woman jumped overboard.

The Coast Guard spent 25 hours searching more than 1,900 square miles before suspending the operation at 10:51 Wednesday morning.

The Coast Guard says the woman’s name is not being released at this time based on the wishes of her family.
