Episode 93 - The Disappearance of Rebecca Coriam & The 1986 Cleveland Balloon Fest
In this week’s episode, Erika covers the disappearance of Rebecca Coriam. Rebecca was a youth worker on the Disney Cruise Ship the “Disney Wonder”. On March 21, 2011 the Disney Wonder was setting sail from Los Angeles and heading to Puerto Vallarta. The last time anyone saw Rebecca, she was on the phone and looked distraught, before heading to the crew swimming pool. The following day, no one could find Rebecca, and the speculation became that she went overboard from a rogue wave. What really happened, did she really fall overboard on accident, was it on purpose or was she murdered? Sadly, to this day there are no true answers of what happened to the beautiful Rebecca Coriam.
Erika was drinking a Chenin Blanc from Miriam, very crisp and smooth.
