Parents of missing Disney cruise worker call for re-investigation
The parents of a British woman who went missing while working on a Disney cruise ship have called on police to re-investigate the case and re-interview two ex-employees.
Rebecca Coriam, 23, from Chester, vanished from Disney Wonder off the coast of Mexico in March 2011.
According to the BBC, her father Mike is now demanding that police re-interview two members of staff who might have had something to do with her death or hold crucial information.
Mr Coriam, who is suing Disney with his wife Ann for $75,000, said: "There are two people we think that police should interview again."
He said he has been haunted by what one of the Royal Bahamas police investigators, Supt Paul Rolle, told him about one of the staff members, saying he had his hands behind his head with his feet on the table.
"The police officer told me he wanted to pick this person up and smash them hard into the ground," Mr Coriam told the BBC.
The family claim Supt Rolle has not responded to efforts to contact him, nor has he responded to the BBC.
Meanwhile a former Disney security officer has accused the company and police of "botching" an "easy investigation".
Dawn Taplin who worked for the police in the US for 17 years, told the BBC that proper statements were not taken and police had "ruined a perfectly good crime scene".
She claimed Disney had "boxed off" Rebecca’s disappearance as suicide.
A Disney statement said: "The allegations are without merit as we will prove in court."
