Italian chef missing From Coral Princess

ROME — Italy's foreign ministry says a chef from the country is missing from a U.S.-flagged cruise ship and the FBI is investigating.

Angelo Faliva was last seen in the kitchen of the Princess Cruises "Coral Princess" at about 8:15 p.m. Wednesday while he was working his dinner shift.

Faliva's sister, Chiara Faliva, said Sunday the family was alerted Thursday that he had been reported missing and that a life preserver was also missing, with its nighttime illumination flares torn off and left aboard the ship.

The "Coral Princess" left Miami on Nov. 23, and was sailing between Aruba and Cartagena, Colombia when Faliva went missing. The ship is due to dock in Los Angeles on Dec. 7. Colombian maritime authorities are also investigating.
