CRUISE SHIP CRIME FILES Muder Aboard
On 25 July 2017, Kristy Manzanares was killed aboard the cruise ship Emerald Princess while the vessel was travelling through waters outside southeast Alaska. Her husband, Kenneth Manzanares, later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison. In the first episode of Cruise Ship Crime Files, Shelby examines the confirmed facts of the case and explains the unique maritime-security questions it created: Who responds when a murder occurs aboard a ship? How is a cabin protected as a crime scene? What happens to the suspect? How are witnesses and electronic evidence managed? Why did the FBI have jurisdiction? This episode uses official United States Department of Justice and FBI information. Operational sections are clearly identified as general professional maritime analysis. The programme is victim-focused and contains no graphic reconstruction. #CruiseShipCrimeFiles #CruiseShipCrime #MaritimeSecurity #CruiseSafety #TrueCrime #EmeraldPrincess #FBI #CrimeAtSea This programme is based on publicly available United States Department of Justice and FBI records.
