BARTLETT, TN (abc24.com) - The Coast Guard continued Monday night to look for a 21-year-old Bartlett woman missing at sea off the east coast of Florida.

"We are working a person in the water case, and the main concern is for us to find this person," said Jon-Paul Rio, a Coast Guard Petty Officer. "They will be out there conducting searches throughout the night."

The woman, whose name has not yet been released, was last seen aboard Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas on Sunday night. After she was reported missing, the cruise line said surveillance video confirmed the woman went overboard.

"Did she slip, did she fall, what are the facts?" asked Jan Oglesby, of Gulliver's Travel of Memphis.

"It is a tragedy, what a tragedy." Oglesby added. "My goodness."

The Coast Guard resumed aerial searches early Tuesday morning.
