George Smith and Jennifer Hagel-Smith Update
Just when we thought that the case of "missing honeymooner" George Smith couldn't become more of a circus, the family hired famous forensic scientist (and expert publicity generator) Dr. Henry Lee to examine the Brilliance of the Seas stateroom from which George went missing over his balcony.
On NBC's Today this morning, Dr. Lee explained that when he examined the stateroom over the weekend prior to its next cruise from Miami, he did find "something" as a result of the three experiments he conducted onboard, but couldn't divulge in public what it was.
Dr. Lee also said he wanted to perform two additional experiments, but they were ruled out in negotiations with Royal Caribbean. Since one of these was to repeatedly toss a mannequin overboard from the balcony to see where it landed, which would have been disquieting to embarking passengers (let alone a media spectacle), we can see why it got nixed. But overall Dr. Lee gave high marks to the cooperation he got from the cruise line.

Perhaps it is finally wrapping up.
Royal Caribbean now gets to pay the widow 1 million dollars as well as reimburse her legal expenses. Moral of the story?
Get drunk and fall overboard - make your family rich AND famous.
I have one question in the matter ... does the passenger not have to take some responsibility for his/her self? If I cannot swim, but jump into the water anyway and drown - is that worth a million dollars as well?!?
