Story summary

On September 16, a 56-year-old man named Thomas Gigler jumped overboard from the Carnival Panorama while it was sailing back to Long Beach, California from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The incident occurred on the ship's 11th deck during the last day of a week-long cruise. After Gigler went missing, his wife Michelle alerted crew members who initiated an extensive search, including reviewing surveillance footage and notifying both the U.S. Coast Guard and Mexican Navy. Despite efforts to locate him, he has not been found, and authorities now presume him dead. Gigler was a computer programmer for Esri with no apparent reason to commit suicide, leaving his family bewildered by his actions.
