1 other sourceGlenn William Sheridan, a 54-year-old from Williamsburg, Virginia, vanished under mysterious circumstances on November 24, 2004, while on a five-day cruise to the Bahamas with his wife. The couple was aboard the Carnival cruise ship *Celebration*, and it was upon the vessel's return to its dock in Jacksonville, Florida, that Sheridan was reported missing by his wife, Gloria. An extensive search of the cruise ship yielded no clues as to his whereabouts.
Furthermore, the ship's electronic entry and exit system indicated that Sheridan had not disembarked after the ship docked.
According to his wife, she last saw him at 1:30 a.m. on the morning of their arrival in Jacksonville. When she awoke at 7:00 a.m., he was gone from their cabin. Gloria Sheridan suggested that her husband, an early riser, might have fallen overboard as early as 4:00 a.m. At that time, the *Celebration* was approximately thirteen miles off the coast of northeast Florida, making its way toward the St. Johns River and its final destination in Jacksonville. She described her husband as being in good physical condition and a strong swimmer.
Following the report of his disappearance, the U.S. Coast Guard launched a comprehensive search of the Florida coastline. A boat and helicopter were deployed to scour 350 square miles of the ocean and the St. Johns River. However, after a day of intensive searching, the effort was suspended as no trace of Glenn William Sheridan was found. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office opened a missing person investigation, with the FBI also being kept informed of the case's progress. Despite the passage of time, the case remains unsolved, leaving the circumstances of Sheridan's disappearance a mystery.Last Seen: Nov 24, 2004
