TIL that a Utah woman was allegedly murdered by her husband while on a murder mystery trivia cruise in Alaska. The event was a musical Sherlock Holmes-themed murder mystery trivia program, and some of her fellow passengers thought the screams coming from her cabin were part of the show.

According to the affidavit, a witness told security he went into the couple’s cabin at 9:03 p.m. and saw the gruesome scene. When he saw Kenneth Manzanares with blood on his hands and clothing, he asked what happened, to which Manzanares allegedly replied, “She would not stop laughing at me.” Kristy and Kenneth Manzanares

Manzanares then allegedly grabbed his wife’s body and dragged it towards the cabin’s balcony. The witness told security that he himself grabbed Kristy’s ankles and pulled her back inside the cabin. Soon after, security arrived.

I wonder how long the witness thought this was part of the tour.

That would be a good premise for an Ace Attorney case.

Murder boat! I was working in Skagway, AK when this happened. I'm a tour guide that works directly with the ships, so everyone on my tour that day was either really solemn or talking non-stop about it. Definitely the weirdest day touring.
