Manuelita Dejos Pierce, 39 and of Filipino descent, disappeared from the Royal Caribbean ship Enchantment of the Seas on October 29, 2000. The ship was returning to Port Everglades after a week in the Caribbean; a crew member last saw Pierce in a hallway at about 1:00 a.m. on the final day. When nearly 2,000 passengers had disembarked, a cabin steward found her unpacked belongings still in the room — wallet, cash, passport and other personal items were left behind.

The vessel was roughly 140 miles off Fort Lauderdale when she vanished. The U.S. Coast Guard searched the waters and local law enforcement searched the ship without finding a trace. Unconfirmed reports say she may have had a dispute with a traveling companion; her boyfriend, who was aboard with his family, disembarked without reporting her missing and later suggested she had been despondent, a claim the family rejects. The FBI’s North Miami Beach office is handling the investigation.

Pierce, also known as Mandy, had a triangular birthmark above her right breast, another birthmark on her back, tattooed eyebrows and scars from breast augmentation. Does anyone who was aboard that cruise remember seeing her or have information about her movements that night?
