A Carnival cruise passenger is missing. Cameras don’t show him going overboard, cops say

The surveillance cameras and devices on Carnival Cruise’s Conquest ship don’t indicate Kevin McGrath went overboard, Miami-Dade police say. The U.S. Coast Guard helped look for McGrath and turned up nothing.

That’s why police are asking for the public’s help finding McGrath, a five-foot-nine, 170-pound 26-year-old.

Police say McGrath’s brother saw him in cabin No. 1326 around 2 a.m. Monday, six hours before the Conquest’s three-day cruise was scheduled to end at PortMiami.

“He was supposed to meet the family for breakfast prior to disembarking from the ship but he never arrived as scheduled/planned,” Miami-Dade police Detective Angel Rodriguez said via email.

Anyone who has information on where McGrath might be can contact Miami-Dade police special victims bureau/missing persons squad at 305-715-3300 or Crime Stoppers of Miami-Dade & the Florida Keys either online or at 305-471-8477 (TIPS).
