Search Continues for Missing Disney Crewmember

On Monday, investigators continued their search for the Disney Cruis Line crewmember who went missing last week.

The 24-year-old crewmember, Rebecca Coriam, was last seen onboard the Disney Wonder while it was sailing from California to Mexico. Over the weekend Disney along with authorities conducted several shipboard searches, with no luck.

Rebecca Coriam, works in the Wonder’s youth center. The ship was on a seven-night cruise to the Mexican Riviera last week when the Chester, England native didn’t show for duty Tuesday.

Because the Wonder is registered in the Bahamas, the Royal Bahamas Police Force is conducting the investigation. Officials there say the investigation is ongoing and that Disney has fully cooperated.

Rebecca’s parents flew from England to meet with investigators in hopes of finding their daughter. Officials reportedly told the family that Rebecca made a phone call shortly before her disappearance. Details of that phone call have not yet been released.

The 1,000-foot-long Disney Wonder was carrying more than 2,700 passengers and 950 crewmembers at the time of Rebecca’s disappearance. Authorities say the ship has been searched twice since the 24-year-old went missing.
