The Mystery Of Rebecca Coriam's Disappearance
Paranormal Life

In 2011, a twenty-four-year-old British woman named Rebecca Coriam went missing. She was a children's minder on the Disney Wonder Cruise ship. Coriam supposedly fell overboard while the cruise ship was near Mexico and her body was never found. Her disappearance case is still open, with her family determined to get to the bottom of the mystery.

According to the BBC, police officers from the Bahamas investigated the case since the Disney Wonder was registered there, which means it's out of the United Kingdom's jurisdiction. However, it is possible for all crimes at sea that involve United Kingdom citizens to be investigated by their own authorities. Unfortunately, it is now being said that investigators believe Coriam to have been pushed overboard and murdered. A proper investigation on her disappearance was not done. Apparently, the British authorities were being given instructions to keep all information regarding the tragedy completely classified from the press, as well as the Coriam family.

One of the greater mysteries is that there were transactions made on Coriam's credit card after she went missing. There is no further information regarding this incident.

Chris Matheson, Labour MP, believes there is something wrong about the case and that it seems very suspicious. He believes there is sufficient evidence to prove the high possibility that a serious crime took place. He thinks a case should remain open and be examined thoroughly until a conclusion can be drawn.

Mike Coriam, Rebecca's father, is livid about the situation and the fact that information was not disclosed to him and his family after the Bahamian and British authorities discovered information. They have not been able to hold a proper funeral for Rebecca as her body has not been found, and this is highly disturbing for her family.

According to John Prescott, a former ship steward, the most unsettling part of the disappearance is the "conspiracy of silence" regarding the case and the fact that the United Kingdom is not doing more to determine what happened to one of their own.

After Rebecca vanished, the entire crew searched the ship for her and were unsuccessful in their findings. The United States Coast Guard, as well as the Mexican Navy, also held searches that were not successful. The Cheshire Police said they had done everything in their ability to help and provide support and comfort to her family. But the Coriam's and others seem to think otherwise.

The results for this case are, unfortunately, still unknown. Hopefully the truth to Rebecca Coriam's disappearance will be uncovered soon and her family can cope in peace with the findings.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
