Missing college student in the Dominican Republic from Ashburn

[Anonymous]

I’m sure we will know more soon once they release statements from other people that likely saw him. People start going down to the beach taking morning walks, etc., early as six so there must’ve been someone who spotted at him at some point before he made his way to his hotel room at 8:54 AM. Remember that they don’t release every single statement from every single witness to the public so we’re just going to have to hold tight until they can build a better picture. Surely someone saw him sometime between six and 854 whether he was walking the beach, passed out somewhere, etc.

Same goes for the guy, until he is convicted for anything, he is innocent as well.

Parent blaming for bringing their children to USA for TJ in Virginia. Typical Indian scam. It is why so many people want TJ shutdown.

Only the people whose kids aren’t smart enough to get in want TJ shut down.

Please stop with this nonsense.

He earned a scholarship Southeast technical school for “land surveying” after HS graduation. Probably shifted gears at some point and decided to get a 4yr degree. Really not that unusual. There is a lot of detail from family, friends, neighbors etc in a daily mail article I read (too lazy to link it)- all comments very positive about him and the family. And in a midwestern small town like that (I grew up in a very similar town), where he apparently lived his whole life- everyone knows everyone and everything.

It doesn’t mean he is innocent but there aren’t any red flags either.

Thanks. Agree his character and temperament are known in a town of under 3k. We will see what comes out.

Hard to understand why he would say he saw her in the water, a wave and he didn’t see her come out, story 1, if not true. And if true, why never tell anyone, it’s damning. As is the changing story.

You can see in the video they’re both wasted. The video of him walking back to hotel in morning he looks very hungover and not suspicious. He was probably too drunk to make any good decisions to help her in the water. Very sad.

He was holding onto her in a very controlling way, not just supporting or affectionate.

Was his shirt torn? How did he get the scratches? Did his missing shirt or shoes have blood on them?

His whole town is the size of a large HS. People who know him will know if he is an angry drunk, disrespects girls or is some gentle giant type.

Typical DCUM, always looking to blame the man, to the point of trying to see if he was an "angry drunk".

The beach and waves there were treacherous. It was 4am and dark. She was drunk. Perhaps she... drowned in such dangerous conditions?

Disgusting to imply this man did anything to her. Everyone in this situation used bad judgement.

Alcohol and other drugs complicate asking and giving consent. It is important to remember that alcohol is often used to commit sexual violence and is considered to be the most used date rape drug. However, remember that it is not alcohol that causes sexual violence; rather, it is the person perpetrating it.

He was easily twice her size and a wrestler, experienced with hands on restraint. Maybe he lost his temper at some point, like Robert Chambers? When that drunk might be easy to use a bit too much force.

Very unlikely. Let’s not blame the man because we’re sexist.

sure, like a lot of our 15 year olds - certified to monitor the neighborhood pool

Lifeguard to know NOT to go in the water. Especially at night.

he was drunk

The point is, he would never be able to save her no matter how many years of lifeguard training he had. Especially drunk! People are wild to think that she could have been saved.

Still don't know if she needed or wanted to be saved in water. Nor if she needed or wanted to be saved by him. If foul play?
What if:
-neither went in water
-both went in water
-he went in water, didnt notice if she went in
-he went in, she didn't go in
-she went in, he didn't
-didnt go in water and didn't see what she did
-went in water to try to help her
-went in didn't help her
-he forced her into water
-she forced him into water

Hi you poster. Yes. We’ll never know these things. No one will. We can’t blame people of things we have no evidence of just because we hate men.

I'm confused about the friends. They went on an excursion the next day. They did not report her missing till 4pm. Was she not going on the excursion with them? And when did they realize she was missing? Did the young man report to the friends he could't find her?

They were both incredibly wasted.
Im
Surprised he remembered anything.

GMA just did a segment.

They were wasted, went swimming in an ocean known to have rip currents where 3 tourists had drowned a month or two ago, and this poor young lady drowned.

That’s what happened.

It’s a tragedy.

Talk about this tragic accident and do your best to teach your kids about what could go wrong when you get hammered.

Most of us did incredibly reckless things while drinking. It happens.

Take your F comments about TJ to VA schools forum. This is about a tragic accident or crime.

News this am from DR said that POI is not a term they use that’s a US term and that they are not looking at anyone criminally in this investigation.

Then why did his story change? And why did he not report what happened?
Her friends, though - that they left her with him, and did not notice her missing until 4pm the next day. With friends like that…

A group of us went skniiy dipping right there at night. We went to that stretch because it was dark and we couldn't even see each other. The waves there can absolutely knock you down even while sober. People avoid being knocked down by jumping at the crest of the wave. If you've been drinking, all of this is a recipe for disaster.
