An American woman went missing after she got off a carnival cruise ship. She told the staff she did not want to be contacted. The Carnival Horizon Cruise journey started on Sept. 13, and the woman was last recorded to be seen on Sept. 17.
Jessica Collins got off the cruise on Sept. 17 in Bonaire. The police have not yet commented on when people contacted them. However, Carnival Cruise has released a statement saying the woman started the cruise but did not return after their stop in the Caribbean island.
Their statement reads, ‘he debarked with all her belongings in her backpack and left a cash gratuity for the stateroom attendant with a thank you note.’ As the ship care team members were trying to contact her, she replied back saying she was safe and did not want to be found or contacted again. Her decision seemed deliberate.

There are several speculations that Jessica Collins’ disappearance is not deliberate. She came out as a trafficked victim of Epstein, and now she has simply vanished while she was going to visit an island.
Making a video and coming out as an victim could indicate foul play or that she is hiding for her safety. Many times, whistleblowers suffer from the same fate of disappearance. Several victims have come forward revealing their experience and are trying to compile a list of his associates. More will be unveiled soon as the investigation continues.
