A man who went missing from a Carnival cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico Monday is now believed to have jumped, according to cruise line officials.

A statement from Carnival says surveillance video shows the man, 28-year-old Tyler Lee Barnett of Houma, La., jumping from a lifeboat on the Carnival Glory’s fourth deck about 1:40 a.m. Monday.

An initial examination of surveillance video had only spotted Barnett aboard the ship about midnight Monday, but officials said Barnett had changed clothes at some point after that, altering the video search.

“Only on Tuesday were we advised of the possibility of him wearing a different shirt, which allowed our security team to change the profile of the guest as we searched onboard video,” Carnival said in the statement.

After Barnett was initially reported missing, the U.S. Coast Guard launched two aircraft and searched into Monday evening. Rescue crews were searching an area of more than 200 miles of the ship’s path “due to the uncertainty of the potential time of him falling overboard,” the Coast Guard said.

The Coast Guard said Monday night weather conditions were hampering search efforts, with gale conditions and 8- to 12-foot seas prompting a halt to the search overnight, but Tuesday morning a HC-144 Ocean Sentry was launched to resume search efforts.

In an interview with WVUE in New Orleans, Barnett’s mother said her son was an avid fisherman and the father of 3-year-old twin girls.

“(I) still pray that they can find his body before the creatures of the sea get him. I want to be able to bury my baby boy,” Elisha Reid told the outlet. “The only way I will have peace with him lost at sea is he loved the water and he loved to fish. I can handle knowing he is where he loved to be, on the water And he is with the fish he loved to catch.”

Reid also said she believed her son slipped, rather than jumped, from the lifeboat because he had been drinking, according to the report.

The Glory was on its way from New Orleans to Montego Bay, Jamaica at the time Barnett went missing. The cruise is a 7-day voyage in the Western Caribbean, according to Carnival. The ship was cleared by the Coast Guard to continue on to Montego Bay, where it was scheduled to arrive Wednesday.
