As a highly detailed crime investigator, the case of George’s disappearance raises many red flags and inconsistencies. The initial reports of an accidental fall overboard don’t add up when considering the evidence found on the cruise ship. The presence of blood, a bloody handprint, and signs of a struggle in the cabin suggest foul play may have occurred. The suspicious behavior of the men involved, including the Russians who were later involved in a rape case, adds to the complexity of the situation.
The involvement of Jennifer, George’s wife, raises suspicions as well. Her strange behavior and refusal to cooperate with investigations hint that she may know more than she’s letting on. The protective statements made by Josh, one of the men present that night, also point to potential knowledge of what truly happened to George.
The settlement reached with Royal Caribbean for $1.3 million and the subsequent silence from Jennifer and the family’s suspicions only add to the mystery surrounding George’s disappearance. The lack of a clear motive or timeline of events makes this case challenging to solve, but with the discovery of new evidence and the ongoing investigations, the truth may come to light in the future.
The theories of suicide, accident, or murder all have their merits, but the inconsistencies and suspicious behavior of those involved suggest that foul play may have been a factor in George’s disappearance. As the investigation continues, more pieces of the puzzle may come together to reveal the truth behind this tragic case.

That's not a woman I would want as a daughter-in-law, my gut feeling. I don't mean that she was necessarily involved in the affair, but she comes across as fake to me.
@Booker596
57:36 "there's nothing that im going to, sort of, release THAT HAPPENED TO ME THAT NIGHT. . .umm. . .I'm excited, in the future, to be able to talk freely and openly because that will mean the FBI solved their case"
. . . 🤔 Was she r@ped by the same guys? And George went over the balcony because he was trying to protect her, but he was too drunk too? Or was the room cleared of him before she even got back, with the plan of getting her alone to attack her?
Didn't she say she couldn't remember things, was she drugged?
That one comment has me looking different at all this! 😬

41:42 something doesn’t make sense. According to the crew, the room looks normal, but yet neighbors on both sides heard stuff being moved around.

I love that the ads for this are all for cruises!!🤣🤣
@GrapeApe2018
I think you missed a possible scenario. There was a pissed off irate cop next door who was fed up with his vacation being ruined. It is not unheard of, and in fact there is a significant history of cops taking care of their personal problems. I know a little bit about forensic interviews and one aspect that is always looked for, is an element of over explaining, which was evident in the interview shared. There were a couple of other eyebrow raisers for me as well. Just my thoughts.
@n300zx931
Moving furniture around makes me think it was a robbery. Looking for the cash. Then followed by a murder. Maybe he was poisoned and then tossed over. Hard to say.
@mmckenzie8085
I believe it was murder. Not necessarily premeditated but a robbery and George got in the way. I believe it was the Russians. I believe Josh knows what happened.
I am not sure about her but am inclined to think Jennifer knew nothing about it and if she was drinking absinthe for the first time it was not surprising if she was completely knocked out. Definitely if drinks spiked
I think a combination of absinthe and perhaps a little drink spiking led up to this and it was a premeditated robbery that probably went further than planned. I believe either one or all three Russians were guilty. I believe Josh knows what happened if not every detail then overall. I could be wrong but that is my belief.
I think the cruiseline put money and their reputation before George's murder.

Dear commentator, do try to script your monologue. repeating a word 3 times is just not needed. major major major, massive massive massive etc. Try not to talk in a monotone. You have a gift. Fine tune it.
@auroranarvasa1498
I would have hoped they investigated the cruise ship crew who brought Jennifer back to the cabin at around 4 30 am
@myaleah80able
I hope that she was nervous smiling because that was weird
@Glitterwalrus
Sounds like this couple was the nightmare neighbor couple on the ship. Surprised both their neighbors didn’t request a new cabin.
@hfdskhf
How can they not use the video evidence if they say they threw him overboard?
@annabehrens296
I’ll be on this cruise ship next year….spooky 😱
@melpet444
I think…Wife had nothing to do with it.
@barbarakazuck365
Obviously lazy law enforcement. Definitely murder and they literally have a confession on video but don't use it and allow them to take the 5th? More rights are given to the criminals than law abiding citizens. Don't cruise ship casinos keep track of winnings since they have to pay out? Did anyone look to see if it was missing? What a botched case. I feel so bad for the family.
@Danisuzette
2,500 people on a ship and the odds of a killer being at least one of them. I've turned down too many free cruises to count for that reason
@jonathanlaureano8995
She probably seduced Josh and his friends into killing Goerge. For sure a murder, why else plead the 5th
@Guyblow08
If he was thrown over it was done by more than one person because of the minimal amount of blood found on the balcony. I also think that the men didn’t actually leave I think they were pretending to leave then entered the room again. If the FBI was still involved after the initial investigation then the wife must have told them about items missing from the cabin. If George was too drunk to walk to his cabin then why would they be drinking and have a toast in his room and talking to him like he was coherent. The conversation they are saying they had with him before leaving doesn’t make any sense. Also I think he was smothered and the thrashing around caused all the noise along with some blood on the bed. If there was a physical alteration, especially on the balcony, there would have been voiced sounds he was already dead when they threw him over.
@homegirlsuccess
37:34 wtf. Why the woman's lips are in synch exactly with the man next to her.
This happened before in congress last year.
@JinapherShakur
I know we can't truly know what happens behind closed doors, but I really don't think this is suicide. I obviously don't know how he was feeling, but you're on your honeymoon, on a cruise, with breathtaking views, and the love of your life. I would hope he was happy. Suicide just doesn't feel right in this case. My parents went on a cruise, kinda recently, and a lady murdered her husband in their stateroom during the first couple days. The authorities took her into custody in the closet port. Sadly, the body rode with them the whole trip, and the whole way back home.
@dennish3962
I saw a LOT of duping delight in Jennifer's TV interview?
@johanjotun1647
Rosenberg and Kaufman classic russian names
@janniebee9501
you do a great job 👏
@karlag8312
There are so many rapes and murders in the cruise ships but the cruise lines want to keep it hush for obvious reasons. Check out the FBI statistics about crimes in cruises it’s scary. There are so many cases of people disappearing on cruises. That’s why I don’t go on cruises plus the fact they make me nauseous. Rest in Peace George
@debbiewalker2477
I think he was drugged and murdered. He was to athletically built and strong for anybody to have been able to toss him overboard without one hell of a fight and yelling! Maybe the noises (like tossing furniture around) was somebody in that room trying to get his drugged and unconscience body off the bed and dragging him to the deck knocking furniture over in the process where he could be thrown overboard. The large amount of blood was probably from his head splitting open. I truly hope his poor family gets the answers. It's so unbelievably horrible, evil and wrong!
@ayishaluckey3009
I think the cop did it
@loricamoro3797
I knew George he was my cousins best friend it's very sad
@TA12002
the russians did it.
@ajf369
Boats, alcohol and arguments.. no thanks.. lol
@richsadowsky8580
murder. Not likely Jennifer, though the whole thing ain't making sense!
@LisaAnn-jv8fj
Too much alcohol.
@sanchezhandymen3444
She seems guilty of something. Cruise ships record everything!
@23clockwood
I might be missing it but the blood stain looks like he had an injury before landing there and was probably knocked out and laid there for awhile….how did he then get off the awning if someone had pushed him in the first place? I guess I’d need to see the scene and the floor with the awning to get it. I do think someone threw him/pushed him over though and it wasn’t an accident.
@user-hv3uj4uj7x
Cruise ship got to be the lamest thing ever…spend 1000s of dollars on a giant tub to see more and more sea and get fkd up drunk..might a well stay home and get blackout drunk. Safer too.
