[Music] You can't look at the water and at the sea without remembering what happened to
00:00:17
George. It's got too many bad memories for me now. Oh, I miss him. Miss him every day. I
00:00:27
miss his voice. I miss his phone calls. He called me all the time. I just miss him as a son.
00:00:37
Pretty much every night I go to bed, I see his face. No parent should have to lose their son
00:00:47
that way. Gentlemen, this is Captain Michael. May I have your attention, please? A person
00:00:56
may have gone overboard last night. >> I have no doubt in my mind whatsoever that my son was murdered on that cruise
00:01:07
ship. There's so much evidence. It's overwhelming. >> It's just been a complete and awful
00:01:15
nightmare for my family and we still do not have justice for George. The first suspect is the surviving
00:01:24
spouse. >> She said she couldn't remember anything. >> Eyebrows started to go up about what
00:01:29
exactly did Jennifer know. >> But the FBI soon turned its attention from George Smith's widow to a group of
00:01:36
young men, the last people to see George alive. [Music] >> There were sounds of a a fight, a
00:01:47
struggle inside my brother's room. I heard some males arguing on the balcony. [Music]
00:02:00
What we're trying to do is sort through the facts and figure out what happened that night because unfortunately this
00:02:05
has become pretty much a cold case. While on the cruise, did you meet George Smith IV?
00:02:10
>> There was a series of questions that I asked in each of the depositions of each
00:02:14
of the boys. Do you know what happened to George Smith? Were you present when George Smith went overboard? Did you
00:02:21
kill George Smith? >> Something crazy went down that night, and I hope one day that they find out
00:02:26
the truth. >> A 48 hours investigation has uncovered failed polygraphs, questionable alibis,
00:02:36
and a provocative video made by some of the men just hours after George Smith disappeared.
00:02:43
>> On the videotape, you've got them joking about George's death. very callous and
00:02:48
at one point incriminating. >> I just can't comprehend that someone could snatch my brother from a cruise
00:02:55
ship, throw him on an overhang, and dies alone in the water, and then nothing's done about it. The evidence is
00:03:04
huge. Why hasn't someone been arrested? [Music]
