An American woman who was reported missing after failing to return to a Holland America cruise ship in Marigot, Saint Martin has been found.
The Caribbean island’s Police Force of Sint Maarten (KPSM) confirmed in a post on Facebook that Ann Evans has been found after she was reported missing on Nov. 20.
KPSM said that contact had been made with Evans in coordination with other partners.
Evans failed to return to the Rotterdam cruise ship in Port St. Maarten after disembarking a bus in Marigot during an organized island tour earlier this month, according to authorities.

“During the tour, Ms. Evans disembarked the bus in Marigot, French Saint Martin,” the police force said, “but did not return to the bus or to the cruise vessel.”
Law enforcement on both the French and Dutch sides of the island had been alerted to Evans’ disappearance.
A female matching the description of Evans used her passport to check into a hotel on the French side of the island. She has also been seen in the area around the hotel, according to a local news outlet.
A similar case occurred in September when a 47-year-old American woman left a cruise ship while docked in Bonaire and never returned. She remains missing.
Not all missing-person cases are resolved, and some end without a definitive explanation.
The law enforcement agency stated that it would not provide any further details.
“In accordance with the laws governing privacy and the protection of personal data, no additional information will be released about the individual or their circumstances,” KPSM said on Facebook.
