daisy-mae Posted November 8, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 8, 2022 What I find puzzling is her son's assertion that jewelry has gone missing form his mother's cabin. Unless he is on the ship, or knows exactly what valuables she had with her, how could he know what is missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PATRLR Posted November 8, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 8, 2022 23 minutes ago, Laszlo said: Why on earth would a jewelry tycoon kajillionaire take a cruise on a Norwegian Cruise Line ship. Why not just buy a mega yacht? And an island in the south seas for that matter? Was she really a kajillionaire? She owned some jewelry stores that carried the Tiffany name. In Turkey. I'm sure she was wealthy but I doubt she was buy a mega yacht wealthy and definitely not private island wealthy. I tried to find her net wealth and couldn't find any mention of it. My guess is she was just your run of the mill millionaire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyannea Posted November 8, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 8, 2022 She was 5'1" tall. Family reports that 20 hours went by before being listed as "missing" If you google her name, more than one article, other than the Daily UK shows up 🙄 though a few articles list her as "plunging" to her death- weird way of reporting.

Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted November 9, 2022 #8 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I was shocked this wasn’t a huge thread after I heard about it in the news yesterday. Was anyone onboard that cruise who could give insight? Tragic ending to her life no matter how it happened! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaShark Posted November 9, 2022 #9 Share Posted November 9, 2022 What is really strange is that a Google search shows that it is being reported that this happened on October 26th, yet no report of this was made on any news site until just yesterday. Why the delay in reporting. As of now, Jim Walker still has not reported this on his site and he ALWAYS covers people overboard from ships. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kauaijim Posted November 10, 2022 #11 Share Posted November 10, 2022 We were on the ship , the mail story has some things wrong. The Spirt cruised from Hawaii to Tahiti. There were many announcements one night asking for her including interrupting the 9 pm show . Later there was yellow police type tape on the 10th floor cabin door. It was a big subject of discussion on board . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boscobeans Posted November 10, 2022 #14 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) A 3 foot guard rail in her cabin ?? Really THREE FOOT ? Another myth rather than a factual news report. She FELL overboard ? THREE foot railing ?? Edited November 10, 2022 by boscobeans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kauaijim Posted November 10, 2022 #15 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Her cabin was on 11 , I misspoke, our suite was on 10 . We were told on board that the video showed her off at the pool level aft . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscobeans Posted November 10, 2022 #16 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Family is already taking action against NCL according to news media. They are said to be taking legal action against the ship’s operator. A search for her body was organised immediately but to no avail. Experts seem baffled over how Ms Ertek – who was just over 5’1 – was able to fall over the three-feet-high guard rail to her cabin. Captain Mustafa Can reportedly said: ‘It is difficult to fall from this type of passenger and cruise ship.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser_1977 Posted November 10, 2022 #17 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I find it odd that she was "missing" for 20 hours before it being reported to security? This supposedly happened at 3am? Her boyfriend shared a cabin with her and it took him almost 24 hours?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on this cruise and the "telephone stories" did change from day to day. Because at one point they said it was the husband sailing with her. Then another story that she was sailing by her self. She had her own cabin and the video show her going to the cabin alone with a bottle of wine. These are all just part of the different stories circulating. As the story goes, only her and maybe one other person knows exactly what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
