Merrian Carver needed a break from life, so she flew across the country and hopped on an Alaskan Cruise. This wasn’t the first time Merrian went on a trip without telling anyone, but this time, she never made it home. Merrian was last seen in her cabin on the second night of the cruise.
Despite her absence being noted multiple times, cruise staff failed to report her missing. A month passed before an investigation was initiated and when it was a startling number of inconsistencies and outright lies raised even more disturbing questions.
