One contributor noted that police had been playing a recording of Solomon’s wife over loud speakers in various areas as they search. Martha Warren, one of Solomon’s cousins, said in an April 12 Facebook post that more than 100 locals, ex-patriots and vacationers have joined in the search, along with a number of people working solo. Professional teams are also engaged, she said, and the family is not giving up hope even though a promising tip on April 12 didn’t pan out. Edmond Bradley "Brad" Solomon III, a 66-year-old West Ashley native, was last seen April 3 after disembarking from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship in port at the island. A frantic search started almost immediately and now has stretched to a 10th day.

The Coast Guard shared video footage of the rescue on Twitter, showing the moment the man was found and brought aboard an agency helicopter. That was around the time guests were leaving the ship, the cruise line said. The crew member was noted missing when the ship docked at Fort Lauderdale Saturday. The ship was sailing eastward along the Florida Keys at the tail end of a six-night Caribbean cruise when the incident happened.

It was supposed to be a vacation, but for us, it’s hell,” she told the outlet. The US Coast Guard has been searching a 200-mile area in treacherous weather conditions for Barnett, who was last seen by loved ones just before midnight as he said he was heading to his room, but his bed was never slept in. Reid said Carnival initially told her daughter, who was on the trip, that there was no video of the incident – and she added that she didn’t find out Barnett was missing until a cousin messaged her. Mason said a granddaughter confirmed that Barnett climbed over the edge of the rail and jumped on the lifeboat, but walked on it for a few minutes before he appeared to slip and fall off.

The Miami-Dade police stated that the ship’s overboard detection system never went off, giving them no evidence that McGrath went overboard. 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. The cruise ship’s crew reviewed the boat’s security camera footage and last saw him just after midnight Monday. Police and federal authorities are searching for a man who was reported missing Monday morning after a Carnival cruise ship returned to Miami.

Strasburg said a Coast Guard cutter and helicopter were searching for the missing man and would continue to do so for as long as there is reasonable evidence to suggest survival. Some passengers told the New York Post that the man appeared to be intoxicated when he jumped off the ship. "All of us at Holland America Line are deeply saddened by this incident and our thoughts and prayers are with the team member's family at this difficult time," the cruise line shared in a statement with CBS News Miami. Levion Parker, 20, was identified by the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.

“How about an email that says, ‘Hey, there’s a guy missing. He wasn’t seen past 2 a.m., he never showed up to meet his family for breakfast. The Coast Guard has since narrowed its search area roughly 30 miles southwest of the Southwest Pass. "We have informed the U.S. Coast Guard and are providing assistance to the guest’s family that was traveling with him," they added. A graduate of New York University's Arthur L. Carter School of Journalism, she previously worked at NBC News' TODAY Digital.

On Sept. 4 and searched 3,300 square nautical miles with helicopters but found nothing, according to Petty Officer Ryan Estrada, in Miami. Cruise ships have safeguards to prevent passengers from going overboard, and are required by the Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2010 to have rails that are "located not less than 42 inches above the cabin deck." The ship’s overboard detection system never went off, and there is no other evidence that Kevin McGrath went overboard, according to the MDPD.

“He can be seen climbing on a lifeboat and jumping from there,” Lupoli said. 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. On Facebook, Mason said she and her family are in need of prayers as they await answers.

In September, a 26-year-old man was reported missing from the Carnival cruise ship Conquest after it docked at the Port of Miami in Florida. A cab driver later told police that he gave a ride that day to a man matching Solomon's description, according to Mexican news outlets. The driver allegedly told police that he dropped the man off on a dirt road leading to Isla de la Pasìon, a small island. The man did not have money so he gave his watch as payment, La Jornada Maya reported, quoting what police said the taxi driver told them. His disappearance "is so random, out of nowhere," Danielle McGrath, Kevin McGrath's sister, told USA TODAY. "Everyone has different relationships with the person but me, how I know my brother, how I last spoke to him, his energy, his spirit. This is definitely not like him."

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. Ship staff and security searched the ship but were unsuccessful, a spokesperson for the Miami-Dade Police Department told USA TODAY. He still was nowhere to be found when all passengers disembarked the ship, and the family reported him missing, the publication reported. 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 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. 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.

Barnett's grandmother Dirlean Tate Mason, who is not on the cruise, is anxiously waiting for news. She said that Tyler Barnett works on the river barges in Louisiana and that she does not think he would try to take his own life. 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. The search is 30 miles southwest of Southwest Pass, Louisiana, the Coast Guard said.

Cruise ships have safeguards to prevent passengers from going overboard and are required by the Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2010 to have rails that are "located not less than 42 inches above the cabin deck." Coast Guard have been checking in with the family to offer their support but that Carnival had stopped. "(To) me, personally speaking, you should be reaching out every minute. There’s so many cases where stuff gets shoved under the rug, and it's 40 years later and families still suffer." The cruise line said the police have cleared Carnival Conquest to sail, and the Carnival Care Team is supporting the family.

“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." The cruise is also scheduled to stop at Grand Cayman Island and Cozumel, Mexico, before it returns to New Orleans on Sunday, according to its itinerary. "It makes you feel crazy to be stuck on a ship where everyone else is having a good time," Destiny Barnett said.
