It is possible he may have locked himself out of his room, and then sought help from cruise staff to get back in, or he may have left the cabin with cruise staff for some purpose, and didn't take his key because staff was with him and would let him back into his cabin. Then, during that time, 'something' happened to him.
The cruise line didn't bother dusting for fingerprints, and took no photographs of the cabin to preserve the crime scene.
In late 2001 he won $150,000 on Lotto, but he his family only found about it after he disappeared. This indicates he kept things, probably many things, from those close to him.
Gary had talked to people about his dream of starting a curling club in Arizona. His sister says he had spent several weeks in Phoenix around the time of his secret lottery win and had conducted a number of self-help seminars there.
While on the cruise, he apparently told one passenger he was from Texas. He told someone else he was in the construction business. Both statements are a lie, if he actually made those statements.
According to police Gary spent most nights at the casino, he was a late riser who didn't like the steward in his room.
