In the early hours of 5 July, 2005 George Smith went missing on the cruise ship Brilliance of the Sea, and his body was never found.
He was on his honeymoon with new wife Jennifer Hagel, with the couple having tied the knot 11 days earlier and set off on a two-week cruise around the Mediterranean.
There were suspicious circumstances around 26-year-old George's disappearance, with blood stains found on the side of the ship pointing towards him having gone overboard.

However, the presence of two small blood stains on his bedsheets in his cabin led the police to suspect that some foul play might have been involved.
A chair had been found placed against the balcony railing in their cabin, and the ship's captain said the most likely outcome was an accident, guessing that George had fallen overboard.
Jennifer ended up supporting this version of events as in 2007, she agreed to a $1.1 million (£862,000) settlement with cruise operator Royal Caribbean, giving a statement where she said that George might have fallen off the ship while trying to balance on the balcony in their cabin.

The Smith family disputed this version of events but reached their own settlement with Royal Caribbean in 2011, and the criminal investigation into George Smith's disappearance was closed in 2015.
Suspicion of foul play centres on the blood stains on George's bedsheets and the actions of four men who were among the last to see the 26-year-old alive.
Josh Askin, Rusty Kofman, Greg Rozenberg and Zach Rozenberg were interviewed by police and said they had partied with George in the hours leading up to his death.
The four men said they'd taken George back to his cabin shortly after 4am on 5 July, taking off his shoes and putting him to bed before going back to one of their own cabins and ordering room service.

According to CBS, the ship's records don't show evidence of room service being delivered to any of the men's cabins, though a legal representative for Askin argued that it could simply have been an oversight in records that were hand-written, basically meaning someone might not have written down the order.
