Alleged/rumored sequence of events:

- Family goes on cruise and is at dinner. The victim, her biological father, stepmother, and 3 step-siblings.

- 18-year old victim says she's not feeling well and goes back to the room she's sharing with her 16-year old step-brother and potentially one other step-sibling.

- The step-siblings come back to the room later that evening after dinner.

- Other step-sibling leaves to explore the ship, leaving the girl and her 16-year old stepbrother alone.

- Girl ends up dead, wrapped in blankets, covered with life jackets, and stuffed under the bed. (Someone on Facebook purporting to be her uncle posted she was found naked and beaten, but I don't think that's been verified)

- Other step-sibling comes back to the room later that night, apparently doesn't notice anything and assumes the girl is with their parents, then goes to sleep.

- She's noticed missing at family breakfast the next morning, search ensues, and a housekeeper finds her body.

Early working theory would probably be the stepbrother made a romantic move on his stepsister, was rejected, lost his mind, and killed her.
