Jessica Collins, 47, left the Carnival Horizon during its Sept. 17 stop on the island, with the U.S traveler failing to return to the ship.

Missing Carnival cruise passenger took deliberate actions not to be found
Bonaire officials released a press release stating that it had launched an investigation in tandem with the cruise line.
Surveillance footage released by authorities showed Collins exiting the ship with a grey backpack and dressed in a Hawaiian T-shirt and cargo shorts according to USA Today.
Collins disembarked the ship with all of her belongings in a backpack, leaving cash behind as thanks to the stateroom attendant alongside a thank you note.
When she didn’t return, though, the ship’s Care Team tried to reach her. She texted the crew back and let them know that she ‘was safe and did not want to be found or contacted again,’ according to the statement.
The cruise line said that they were ‘cooperating with local authorities,’ but noted that Collins ‘appears to have taken deliberate action to be alone and on her own.’
