American Tourist Vanishes During Shore Excursion
A 55-year-old American woman has mysteriously disappeared during a Caribbean cruise holiday. Ann Evans went missing on November 20 while on an organised island tour in Sint Maarten, located east of Puerto Rico, according to a missing persons alert.
Timeline of the Disappearance
Evans was seen departing the Holland America Line ship at approximately 10am to join the tour. She was later observed getting off the bus in Marigot, on the French side of Saint Martin. However, she failed to return to the ship following the excursion. The incident occurred during only the second stop of the cruise itinerary to the Netherlands-owned island.
Ongoing Investigation and Unanswered Questions
Authorities issued the official missing persons alert on Wednesday, nearly a week after her initial disappearance. It remains unclear why there was a delay in issuing the alert. The investigation is currently ongoing, and it is not yet known if Evans was travelling alone or with companions.
This is a developing story, and further updates are expected as the search for answers continues.
