EX BREAKS 6-YEAR SILENCE You are coming back, right?
Girlfriend’s last words to missing lover after threesome
Tracie Medley, 29, speaks out after enduring years of suspicion and even death threats over the fate of Rebecca Coriam, who vanished at sea.
Disney say she was probably swept overboard by a wave, Rebecca’s family fear foul play – but Tracie is convinced her tormented ex jumped to her death after a threesome went wrong.
In a remarkable interview, Tracie speaks publicly for the first time and recalls how tragedy unfolded as the Disney Wonder sailed from Los Angeles to Mexico.
She was a wild, party girl unsure about her own sexuality when she met Rebecca, 24, seven years ago.
Now a married mum of one, she tells of the passionate fling she had with fellow children’s entertainer Rebecca, from Chester.
And she reveals the last words she spoke to Rebecca after they romped with male crewmate Deven Hyde.
DREAM
As the Brit left the cabin “to go for a walk”, Tracie said: “You are coming back, right?”
Sobbing Tracie went into intimate detail to spell out how a night of lust appeared to lead to tragedy.
Wracked with guilt that she did not stay by Rebecca’s side that fateful night, she said from her home in Boston, US: “We were madly in love and I lost my best friend.
“We were living the dream and it all crashed down so fast. I wish I went on the walk with her.
“I hate that she was alone and that so many questions were left unanswered. In the two weeks before she died she was so depressed.
“I felt horrible and I just knew I should have gone with her when she asked me to go.”
Rebecca vanished on March 21, 2011. But a series of questions surfaced after 2015 when her family appointed a private investigator to probe claims she might have been raped or sexually assaulted.
Chester MP Chris Matheson examined the dossier of evidence and said there was a “real possibility” she was murdered.
Police notes leaked in June claim that Rebecca had sex with a man in front of her female lover.
The ship’s head of security said Rebecca was “very uncomfortable with it” and added: “I think it was her first time sleeping with a man.”
The two women became lovers after meeting on board as crewmates in 2010.
Deven, Tracie’s boyfriend at the time, was on shore leave. She explains: “I went to a party and Rebecca was there. We were flirting all night and after that we were inseparable. She walked me through a lot of my feelings about my sexuality. “When we took things to the next level it felt right. We were madly in love.” That feeling cooled when Honduran Deven came back to the ship while Rebecca was in the UK for a funeral. After she returned to work, things took a turn for the worse when Rebecca spotted Tracie and Deven heading off for drunken sex.
Tracie says: “She knew I went to his room. She said she was in love with me and she thought I wasn’t in love with her, that I was toying around. She said she wanted to leave the ship.”
Days later, Rebecca became emotional and upset.
Tracie adds: “It took four of us to calm her down. She woke me up that night and said she was upset with herself because she tried to jump off Rebecca and Tracie partying with crew the ship but she was too weak. I was so scared. I told her she was crazy. It was too much.” Tracie says that the next night – hours before Rebecca went missing – the trio had drinks. They went to Deven’s cabin and, Tracie claims, Rebecca initiated a threesome. She says: “She just went up to him and started kissing him. We all basically had sex with each other. At one On trip to the beach point they went into the bathroom. To me it was the best case scenario. Then he came out and came over to me and we started fooling around.
“She came out of the bathroom and I feel like that was when it all hit her.
“The way she looked at us – it was like it was fun when it was her and him and me and her, but for her to see him and me together, I think she was like, ‘What am I doing here?’
“She took a shower then said she wanted to go for a walk. I said, ‘It’s late, I’m not going out’.
“She said, ‘It’s fine, I’m going out now,’ and I said, ‘You are coming back, right’? I told her to bolt the door so it
