Coast Guard officials say recent information from Princess Cruise Line officials indicates that 67-year-old Edelgard Carney of Sutter Creek, Calif., reportedly went overboard in Canadian waters.

The Coast Guard began searching Wednesday when the ship arrived at the Port of Vancouver, British Columbia, and Carney did not leave the ship. The search was concentrated between Ketchikan and Vancouver.

The Coast Guard says Carney is now reported to have fallen from the cruise ship Sapphire Princess early Tuesday morning, about 200 miles south of Ketchikan, or 57 miles east of Graham Island in Canada.

The Coast Guard searched more than 800 miles of ocean in two days. The Coast Guard says it will assist Canadian authorities if needed.
