English Police Probe
Mystery of Actress
Missing From Liner
By th· Associated Press
I SOUTHAMPTON, Eng., Oct. 25 —
The disappearance of Gay Gibson,
21, red-haired English actress who
vanished from a liner while,it sailed
in tropic waters, confronted South
ampton detectives today with a
i mystery.
Miss Gibson disappeared a week
i ago from her cabin in which ship's
; officers found the porthole open and
small spots, believed to be blood, on
her rumpled pillow.
The night before she disappeared
she attended a dinner dance aboard
the ship, the Union Castle Liner
■ Durban Casfle. while it was bound
from South Africa to England. The
vessel turned about and searched the
sea for her after ship officers had
made'a fruitless search of the ship.
Night Gown and Robe Missing.
The black evening gown she wore
to the dance was neatly hung in the
cabin, but a nightgown and her
dressing robe were missing.
Eric Boon, with whom she ap
peared in the South African road
show production of Clifford Odets'
"Golden Boy," told reporters Miss
Gibson was "full of the joy of living."
"I understand a friend paid her
fare to England" from South Africa,
xvir. ηυυιι saiu.
Miss Gibson's parents, who accom
panied the actress when she left
more than three months ago for
South Africa to appear in the play,
are still in the southern dominion.
Fingerprints Sought.
The door to her cabin, padlocked
by ship's officers after she vanished,
was taken to police headquarters
here by detectives after they had
dusted it in a search for fingerprints.
' A steward had said said the door was
slammed in his face about 3 a.m., on
October 18 when a bell rang sum
moning him to her cabin.
A stewardess discovered Mise Gib
! son's disappearance later that day
when she carried tea into the cabin
and found it empty. A woman oc
cupying the adjoining the cabin said
she heard a "clatter'' during the
night but it sounded like a tray fall
ing and she took no further notice.
Detectives questioned two first
class passengers and three crew
members, including one seaman,
whom they took to headquarters.
