A search by ship staff and security has been unsuccessful as well as the U.S. Coast Guard’s helicopter search of 3,300 square nautical miles. A spokesperson for Carnival on Monday declined to respond to detailed questions about how the ship’s staff searched for Kevin McGrath and referred to a statement released after he was reported missing.

“We can confirm the case has been suspended,” Estrada said Monday. “At this point, I can't really say because it was verified that he did not go overboard, and he did not get off the ship via the (pass) being scanned,” Sean McGrath said. She said the Port St. Lucie community where she and her brother are from has been offering "a lot of love" to the family. "There’s so many scenarios that run through my head," Danielle McGrath said. "Did he fall somewhere and he’s screaming for help and no one hears him? Did he fall down an elevator shaft? I just don't know. It's just anything."

More than 5,171 square miles were searched, the Coast Guard said. A graduate of New York University's Arthur L. Carter School of Journalism, she previously worked at NBC News' TODAY Digital.

It was supposed to be a vacation, but for us, it’s hell,” she told the outlet.

Parker’s father owns an air conditioning company and the family was cruising on the boat as guests of a wholesale company, according to the New York Post. Parker jumped off the 18-deck Liberty of the Seas, and Royal Caribbean said it “immediately” launched search boats to look for him with help from the U.S. Others have brought of the case of 23-year-old Amy Lynn Bradley who went missing on a Royal Caribbean International cruise in 1998. To this day she was never found and there are rumors that she’s dead or was sold into sex trafficking. The video has more than 630,000 views and over 1,800 comments as of Wednesday morning.

McGrath was reported missing by a family member, Carnival said in a statement to CBS News. It follows another missing person report from July, when 30-year-old Jaylen Hill disappeared while aboard a carnival cruise ship in Florida. The Miami-Dade police stated that the ship’s overboard detection system never went off, giving them no evidence that McGrath went overboard.

McGrath was supposed to meet his family for breakfast ahead of the ship's return to port but he never arrived for the meal, authorities said. The cruise line said the police have cleared Carnival Conquest to sail, and the Carnival Care Team is supporting the family. The U.S. Coast Guard searched 3,300 square nautical miles with helicopters, but nothing showed up. The overboard detection system on the ship never went off, and there is no other evidence that Kevin McGrath went overboard, according to Miami-Dade police.

A spokesperson with the US Coast Guard told Insider that air and surface crews are still actively searching for McGrath near Port Miami and along the South Florida shore. Carnival crew conducted an "extensive" search on board the ship but failed to find McGrath. McGrath was not detected by any of the ship's surveillance systems, including security cameras and US Customs and Border Patrol during the debarkation process. Between 2009 and 2019, there were 212 overboard incidents around the world involving passengers and crew, according to statistics compiled for Cruise Lines International Association by consulting firm G.P. The search team surveyed the waters via boats and helicopter for more than 80 hours combined but saw no sign of McGrath and decided to suspend the mission Thursday, a Coast Guard spokesperson told Fox News. The U.S. Coast Guard used a helicopter to search the "water in the general vicinity," the cruise line said, and Miami-Dade police officers boarded the ship to investigate and search.

His sister, Destiny Barnett, told NBC News that she and 13 other relatives also were on the cruise. Officials told The Post on Wednesday that Tyler Barnett, 28, was seen on surveillance video climbing onto a lifeboat and then leaping off the side of the Jamaica-bound Carnival Glory in the early hours of Monday. The Coast Guard has since narrowed its search area roughly 30 miles southwest of the Southwest Pass. The Coast Guard issued broadcasts notifying mariners in the Gulf of Mexico that a person may have fallen overboard, a spokesman said. The more specific location also means the Coast Guard has been able to launch an HC-130 plane and an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter, he said.

A passenger who fell off a cruise ship late Wednesday night was rescued on Thursday evening. McGrath’s disappearance comes just one week after a 19-year-old college student fell overboard on the world’s largest cruise ship, the Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas. The Coast Guard said the passenger was 28-year-old Tyler Barnett from Houma, Louisiana. Petty Officer 3rd Class Anthony Randisi told USA TODAY that Carnival reported the guest was last seen around midnight on Monday. The missing person's report came right as passengers were beginning to disembark in PortMiami following the the four-day Bahamas venture, the cruise line said. Ship staff and security searched the ship but were unsuccessful, a spokesperson for the Miami-Dade Police Department told USA TODAY.

McGrath was with a big group of relatives on the three-day cruise to celebrate his father’s 60th birthday, his sister Danielle McGrath told USA Today. That was around the time guests were leaving the ship, the cruise line said. Carnival's Care Team is "providing support to the family members of the missing guest who were sailing with him and remain on board," Lupoli said. Though search efforts first focused on the city, the groups have moved on to the jungle. Last Friday, Daughter Savannah Miller hoped that Solomon could be under the care of local citizens occupying the jungle’s communal areas. NORTH PORT, Fla. (SNN TV)—- A man who jumped off a Royal Caribbean cruise last week has been identified as a former North Port High School football player.

Matt Lupoli, a spokesperson for Carnival, told CBS News that the man was at a bar with his sister on Wednesday night, and he disappeared after leaving to use the restroom. His sister, whose identity has also not been made public, alerted crew to his absence when he did not return to his stateroom overnight. The family of a missing Louisiana dad who officials said was filmed jumping off a Carnival cruise ship say they’ve now also seen the footage — and are convinced he slipped over the edge in a tragic accident. So far, crews have searched more than 200 miles of water for the missing passenger, according to the agency. In April, Coast Guard crews suspended a search for an Australian passenger who fell off a cruise off Hawaii after a three-day search yielded no results. In a post on X, the Coast Guard said search efforts were paused Monday night because of dangerous weather conditions, including rough seas and strong winds.

Carnival Cruises is continuing its investigation into McGrath’s disappearance and has been repeatedly reviewing closed-circuit video footage from the ship, a spokesperson told The Post Thursday. On Monday, a Carnival Cruise Line spokesperson told The Post. The man appears to have jumped from the fourth deck shortly before 2 a.m. A family member reported the passenger missing on Monday morning. The search for a missing Carnival cruise passenger was suspended Thursday after he mysteriously disappeared over Labor Day weekend.
