Canadian police are searching for a 71-year-old Baton Rouge woman who was reported missing after she disappeared from a cruise ship traveling from Montreal to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Sarah Tessier Powell was last seen Sept. 30 on board the Holland America cruise ship, the Veendam, Halifax Regional Police spokesman Constable Pierre Bourdages said.
Powell, who was traveling alone, was reported missing Oct. 4 by the cruise line when it reached its final destination in Halifax, Bourdages said.
There is no evidence that there was foul play and investigators believe Powell might have walked off the ship without being checked by security, Bourdages said. It’s unknown where Powell might have disembarked. The ship stopped at Quebec City on Sept. 30; Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island on Oct. 2; Sydney, Nova Scotia on Oct. 3; and Halifax on Oct. 4.
“There’s nothing that shows she jumped,” Bourdages said. “There were items in her room that were missing that indicates she left and wasn’t coming back.”
Bourdages said there is concern about Powell’s well-being because she is on medication and becomes agitated and disoriented without it.
