Two sisters allegedly smuggled close to 5 kilograms of cocaine in their luggage last month while taking a week-long cruise from Miami through Mexico and the Caribbean, a report from a federal investigator says.
Each sister was carrying a “dark-colored Samsonite backpack” inside their respective luggage, the complaint affidavit says. Inside each backpack CBP officers found an “anomaly sewed inside the lining.” Within the lining of the two bags, they discovered a total of four “rectangular foam-covered packages” containing a “white powdery substance.” Field testing revealed the powdery substance to be cocaine, the special agent’s report says.
On July 20, when the cruise was back in the Bahamas, the sisters did not appear to disembark, per the security footage. And on July 21 in Mexico, they disembarked carrying smaller bags. Herder told investigators she had left her backpack behind when she went to the bathroom and came back to find it “heavier than she originally remembered.” Parker said she was offered a bag to carry her towels and belongings by one of the two people they met. “She did not notice anything suspicious about the bag because she did not see anything inside it,” the complaint says. She then took the bag back onto the ship.
