Additional Information

CAPE CANAVERAL -- The FBI says its investigation continues to see if foul play was involved in the death of a Central Florida woman on a cruise ship.

Jennifer Ellis-Seitz, 36, plunged 15 stories from the deck of the Norwegian Pearl Dec. 25 while the ship was off the coast of Cancun, Mexico.
 
The woman's family said she had "previous emotional issues" and believes she may have jumped overboard.

However, they said there were no outward signs of distress while on the seven-night cruise from Miami.

Ellis-Seitz's husband waited several hours to report the Winter Haven woman missing. But investigators have said they do not believe he is a suspect, and that it was not unusual for her to walk the ship late at night if she couldn't sleep.

Seitz's Husband Has Record Of Domestic Violence

New information has been revealed about Seitz's husband and his criminal background.

Raymond Seitz Jr. was arrested for domestic violence against Jennifer.

She told police the two got into an argument, and that Raymond grabbed her wrist and hit her on the forehead with his own forehead.

According to the police report, Raymond admitted to hitting his wife during the argument.

According to the Lakeland Ledger, the charges were dropped after Raymond attended a court-ordered program for first-offenders.
