Crews continue to search for missing passengers on Costa Concordia – and answers. But a mysterious blonde woman might have answers.
The Huffington Post says the woman is 25-year-old Moldovian Domnica Cemortan.
“She is reported to have been on the bridge with the captain at the time of the tragedy because he was trying to impress her.”
And a passenger told Sky News that Captain Schettino and Cemortan weren’t just standing around, they were wining and dining in one of the ship’s restaurants just before the crash.
“He says he saw Captain Schettino, and a I quote, ‘Enjoying the last drops of a decanter of red wine.’”
But then the story seems to change again. Here’s Fox News.
“She says she ate dinner with the Captain of the ship, after the crash.”
Cemortan told Romanian newspaper Adevarul that the drinking accusations were nonsense.
She seems to be the only one defending her man – she still thinks he’s one of the company’s best captains and he saved thousands of lives.
But euronews and Fox News wonder how she got on the boat in the first place.
“It appears she was working on board, although her name was absent from the official list of passengers and crew.”
“Here he is showing off, showboating with a woman half his age with a woman who is not a registered member of the crew.”
ABC News reports Italian Prosecutors want to question Cemortan.
