"His wife didn't notice the blood in the cabin when she woke up? That plus the fact her hubby wasn't in bed w/her might have given her a clue something was wrong...but maybe that's just me."

No, it's not just you.

This was supposed to be a honeymoon. I don't know ... on my honeymoon, we slept late, breakfast in bed ...

I WOULD HAVE NOTICED IF HE WASN'T IN BED!

From what I remember of the Hyman interview, he heard female voices in the room. He also stated that he heard a female & male voice in the room after the other "guests" left. He then heard the furniture moving sounds & a little while later heard the thud.

Is seems the wife woke up the next morning & went to workout, not even noticing that her newlywed husband was not in the bed.

Also, last night Joe showed a photograph taken by another passenger on the ship. The photo showed a huge amount of blood (even a small puddle) on the awning below the couple's cabin.

I haven't heard any comments from the wife. At the time of the Scarborough interview neither Hyman nor the photo-taker had been contacted by the FBI or anyone else. Joe indicatd that the cruise line & others were trying to cover this up & there was no real investigation going on.

These stories just cause damage to tourism...and such damage can result in loss of jobs and tourism companies going under. The economy of Aruba or wherever else these things happen goes belly up.

Tourism is a zero sum game. Any money not spent there will be spent somewhere else. Every dollar not spent overseas will be spent in the US.

People say a lot of things but if they had a chance to go on a cruise or visit Aruba, they'd most likely go.

Yeah, maybe you're right. I know if I had the opportunity to cruise or visit Aruba or any of a number of other places that have gotten a bum rap lately, I'd go. My exceptions would be Mexico, the Middle East and anywhere else on the State Department list.

Did you see the blood stain on the tarp of the lifeboat? It was ALOT of blood...it almost looked like an outline of a body.

I kept wanting to find out if the covering was solid, or a softer tarp-like covering. If it was hard then I assume the blood could have come from the fall, but if it was a tarp or soft cover it seems like he would must have been stabbed or had a gash on the head or something before he fell/was pushed. There was enough blood to form a puddle.

Since there was such a loud party that a neighbor heard, what was the wife doing in the next room that she couldn't be roused to go see what was happening, especially to her beloved newlywed hubby? Was she drunkenly passed out, on a drug binge or having sex with someone else?

interesting that this is just hitting the media.

I saw it reported on TV a couple of weeks ago. I can't remember where -- one of those hour long weeknight news shows like Primetime or 20/20. It was about a 20 minute segment, and contained everything in the above article except the statement from the passenger in the neighboring cabin. But then it went cold, with absolutely no more news on the situation until now. I can't imagine that the wife wouldn't know ANYTHING.

That's reasonable.

And beyond that, we just don't know when our number is going to come, be it in our bathroom or on an exotic vacation.

I think about those Boy Scout leaders and it makes me more aware of living in the now.

But then it also affects those in the U.S. too affiliated with the industry - booking agents, cruise line representatives and the like. The companies dissolve here and people are out of work.

It is odd but they don't consider her a suspect.

Go figure.

I wonder what his life insurance and/or financial portfolio looks like.

If she is grieving. I wish her the best. But.....

Exactly. Even after 9-11, I refused to be afraid to travel. I had a trip already planned for October of that year, and I told my traveling companion if she was too scared to fly, she could stay home, but I was still going. We both went and had a good time. I refuse to cower in a corner because something "might" happen.

I feel bad for those scout leaders. Tragic. But being a Scout leader involves loving what you do. Would that we could all be called by our Maker doing something we love.

The whole story is just strange.

Hope they did a good job collecting evidence, and how interesting that this is just hitting the media.

Just hitting the media? You obviously haven't been watching the "All Disappearances, All The Time"-Fox News Network.

It doesn't say who the couple was partying with or if they were family,friends or strangers.It will come down to the people who were in the room partying with them.Is it just me or has going on vacation become more hazardous.
