MIAMI, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- The U.S. Coast Guard and Mexican forces searched the waters off Cancun, Mexico, for a woman reported missing on a cruise ship.
The hunt for Jennifer Feitz, 36, began just before 4 a.m. on the Norwegian Pearl when her husband told cruise employees he could not find his wife, CNN reported. After the crew found no signs of the woman on board the ship, officers notified the Coast Guard.
AnneMarie Mathews, a spokeswoman for the cruise line, said that the Norwegian Pearl began a seven-day trip to the western Caribbean on Sunday.
The Coast Guard dispatched a jet and a fixed-wing aircraft from Clearwater, Fla., to do an aerial search, Nick Ameen, a petty officer third class and spokesman for the Coast Guard said. The Mexican government supplied a helicopter and three search crews.
