EXCERPT

On July 23, 2004, I received a call that changed my life forever…. My son, Christopher Paul Caldwell, had gone on a Carnival Cruise to Mexico with his fiancée.

On the last night of the cruise, Chris and his fiancée went to dinner with some friends they had met on the cruise. They had drinks and went to a couple of nightclubs on the ship. When the couple and Chris’ fiancée went back to their cabins to pack and “turn in” for the night, Chris decided to stay in the casino and play a little longer. He told his fiancée that he would be back to the cabin shortly. He never returned!…

The next day, when Chris’ fiancée woke up at 6:30 A.M., she realized that he had not been back to the cabin and proceeded to look for him. After checking all possible places where he might have been, she went to the information desk and had him paged. This effort was to no avail.

Video surveillance cameras showed Chris leaving the casino at 2:17 A.M. Interviews with crew members revealed that a bartender saw Chris on the promenade deck at 3:30 A.M. and claimed that Chris appeared to be very drunk. Instead of escorting him to his cabin, the bartender ignored his condition.

Chris was never seen again… and to this day, we don’t know what happened to him.

U.S. Coast Guard officials called off their search Saturday for Chris Caldwell, a Virginia Beach man who disappeared off the coast of Florida.

Caldwell, 37, was vacationing with his fiancée this week in Florida aboard the cruise ship "Fascination," when he disappeared Friday.

The ship is now docked at the port of Miami, after a four-day cruise to Cozumel, Mexico.

The search has been extended to about 120 miles from Miami.

A coast guard official said crews found a life jacket in the water, but weren't sure if it belongs to Caldwell.
