I'd be prepared to sue every news outlet and individual who created innuendo or worse if I were that young man.

Well, she is a symbolic case to convey that tourist safety is taken seriously. So many young people vacation there, imagine the blow to tourism if they stopped. We also need to send a message that American students got country's backing so don't mess with them.

What about the 3 tourists who drowned nearby earlier this year? Why didn’t we hear about them?

Because although she likely drowned it wasn’t witnessed by a beach full of vacationers but rather a sketchy drunk f boy

Yeah, describing the facts is not actionable.

"facts": what do YOU know as a fact?

If there's no new report, there's only speculation and plenty of that on this thread. Are they keeping the young man there for a reason? or is he still there because he had already planned to be there

They took his passport and he is under constant LE supervision, so keeping him. His father has arrived.

But he's free to request it and leave if he wants, so he's not really being detained.

Which makes it even more unlikely that he is in anyway involved, as he's purposefully staying there to assist with the investigation.

They have his passport and he is observed by LE 24/7, he cannot leave.

I mean even just taking verbatim what the guy himself reported causes people to raise an eyebrow a want to double check (even if, like me, you think the girl likely drowned.)

Is there a recording or English language transcript (not one that's been translated) of what he said?

What is LE?

Every article I have read said he is there voluntarily and free to leave.

Wtf do you want, lady-that a young man is alone w a young woman that disappears and no should even double check his account of the situation? Just “he said they were swimming and the she was gone-who knows?!” And no one should want thorough look-see about that?

I think she sadly drowned but you’ve got real #boymom energy that’s not a good look.

Np. Of course they should look into it. But his stories really aren’t that different. Especially considering how much they drank.

I’d be very interested in what they drank at the bar. How much, and testing the liquor. I’d hold culpable any bartender that continued to serve them and then allowed them to leave walking around the beach.

#boymom energy comment is gross. He needs to be investigated but putting his picture on media and sensationalizing his involvement is terrible, just as it would be tarnishing her reputation.
