Search Underway for Missing Carnival Cruise Passenger

Mother Questions Lack of Security Footage, Suspects Foul Play

  • Tyler Barnett, a 28-year-old man from Houma, Louisiana, went missing from the Carnival Glory cruise ship on Monday, just a day after leaving New Orleans for a week-long cruise.
  • The U.S. Coast Guard is searching a 200-mile area near where the ship sailed into the Gulf of Mexico, but the search was temporarily suspended due to extreme weather.
  • Barnett's mother, Elisha Reid, has expressed concern over the lack of security footage provided by Carnival, and believes someone on board must know what happened to her son.
  • Reid also mentioned that her son's keycard was used to enter the ship's casino just after midnight, then to his room 12 minutes later.
  • At least nine other people have gone overboard from cruise ships this year, with only two surviving the fall.
