I just returned from vacation so I have been out of touch with the world. What's the story of the Honeymoon Couple that were murdered or missing ?? on a cruise around Italy ?? What cruise line ? We were going to plan a cruise there in the Spring.

I think it is just the groom who is missing - Fox News has been playing it up in the evening instead of running Natalee Holloway story.

Go to cruisecritic.com, there are many messages about it and also a few articles in the "cruise news" section. There is a lot to the story, he was drunk at the time and was furnishing alcohol to minors. I don't want to discredit the victim but there is a lot to this story. No excuse for being murdered though, and he also could have fallen overboard. Millions of people cruise each year and there are bound to be accidents. This happened on RCCL but people passing away on cruise ships happen fairly often, not by murder but of natural causes, etc.

Here's a link where you can read about the story:

Some time ago on this board I questioned how one could fall overboard on a cruise ship - as opposed to being thrown or jumping intentionally. I was criticized for my insensitivity. So be careful.
