Photo of mystery woman emerges who allegedly dined with captain of doomed cruiseship before disaster

A photo was released by Italian media outlet Il Secolo that reportedly shows the captain of the doomed cruiseship Costa Concordia dining with a mystery woman less than an hour before the vessel struck a reef off Italy’s Giglio Island, killing at least 11 people to date.

According to news reports, the 25-year-old Moldovan woman might have been on board illegally and may have been a guest of the skipper of the Costa Concordia, Francesco Schettino, who is now under house arrest.

The woman could reportedly emerge as a key witness in the Italian prosecution’s case.
