Unsolved crimes on cruise ships leave families with many questions, few answers Boston University News Service

"According to CruiseJunkie.com, a website run by Canadian sociologist Ross Klein, more than 300 people went overboard while on cruises between 1995 and 2019. More than a third of those who were reported missing, while others were reported as suicides and jumps. Family members fear some of the missing were kidnapped or murdered. However, arrests and convictions rarely follow such events.
… Say [crimes] are on the high seas, and the next stop is a port in Mexico. The ship has to notify the port they are entering in Mexico that a crime scene is entering their port," Barnett said. "Then they have a right to come on the ship and investigate."
Barnett explained that this process repeats at every port the ship stops in, rendering the crime scene almost useless.
"There's no evidence left, whatsoever that is, that would stand up in the court," Barnett said. "All these people have trampled through the crime scene. And, in most cases, the cruise line will clean it."
Davies thinks this makes a cruise an ideal place to commit a crime and get away with it.
…… Cruise lines may be able to avoid compensating families for the death of loved ones because of a century-old law. The Death on the High Seas Act, a bill that passed in 1920, provided compensation to the families of those who died at the sea through a wrongful act, like negligence on behalf of the ship owner.
In order to receive compensation, however, the recipient has to be financially supported by the family member lost on the ship."
