Episode 23 - George Smith IV

In June of 2005, George Allen Smith IV from Connecticut and his new wife, boarded a Royal Caribbean ship in Barcelona. They were taking off on a 2 week Mediterranean cruise for their honeymoon. Before the trip would be completed, a tragic event would occur that would result in one of the honeymooners to go missing and presumably, overboard. With lots of suspects and no clear motives, there are still more questions than answers. Join us today as we go through these events and how they have unfolded the years since.
