The girls had reached out to Carter, who presumably replied Ribe wasn’t back yet. So they thought she was still with him.

Obviously the men did not update that info or the search WP would have been started hours earlier. Who benefits from delay?

I don't understand why his name is public and their names are not. Everyone is a legal adult.

Agree. The silence of the girls is weird and . Terrible, convoluted accident with many bad decisions, but not his fault.

And how do you know that exactly? Because if you do and could share with law enforcement (LE), that could help him get cleared and relieve him, his family and those around him of unnecessary stress and spotlight.

Oh, shut up. I'm tired of you. You're part of the community protecting the girls.

Aren't you ashamed of yourselves for letting someone else take the fall for the series of mistakes the girls made? As someone else has pointed out, they don't even have the guts to so much as stand in front of the media and beg for any information or help in retrieving their friend, dead or alive.

Multiple countries are cooperating in search, no more help is needed. The POI is being questioned by the DR Attorney General and others, no more information can be obtained by trauma porn from VA or PA.

This is the only site that has such a troll presence re this guy. Most think he likely did it, investigators in DR still haven’t returned his passport.

Because he is most likely the killer or rapist.

He has been named a POI by authorities.

It’s obvious why the difference.

Or sadly, both.

Evem as a dumb college kid, I can't imagine just leaving if my friend was missing in a foreign country. The stranger the dead girl met right before she drowned has shown more concern than these so-called friends.

There is no logical reason to hide their identities.

the drunk girl most likely drown in the treacherous ocean waves at 5am

If he had purposely harmed her, he wouldn’t have hung around the beach for 4 hours. Tubs seems more consistent with his story that he vomited, thought he had ditched him (which many people would do if they were drunk and the person they were with was vomiting extensively) and passed out on a chair. When he woke up he was still probably still drunk or massively hung over and just stumbled back to his room.
Why her friends didn’t report her sooner is a mystery but it probably wouldn’t have made a difference.
It’s extremely tragic but I don’t think this guy did anything criminal. And I’m the kind of person that thinks probably 1/10 guys is an opportunity rapist, so it’s not like I jump to defend guys. The people saying he did it have a huge whole in their story — if he had drowned her, the body would be just as likely to resurface on the reef or beach as if she had drowned accidentally, so lack of body proves nothing. And he didn’t have the means to transport her body off the beach, plus that would have shown on the numerous video cameras.

It's sad people on this site or any others out there are blaming one person. No one knows. What people in the "it wasn't him" camp, also, don't know is if he had anything to do with whatever happened even if he didn't do whatever it is that happened. Meaning he is known to have been the last one to have seen her. That makes him and would anyone in this situation, a person of interest. Why he has his passport withheld is as was explained by someone is so he doesn't try to cross borders into Haitii to try to leave the island. They would lose their 'last person possibly to have seen her/POI' . Prayers to all the families and loved ones involved.

Well, why don't you explain it? He hasn't been charged with a crime or even accused of a crime. There is no evidence of a crime. The girls lawyered up and fled the country.

The family wanted the story publicized. That includes the names of the friends.

Best reason is that they left quickly and quietly - as advised. Working out great for them.

There is someone who posts obsessively on this thread over and over accusing the boy of killing her, who is extremely invested in the girls names being withheld and extremely invested in the girls being completely exonerated and in her being murdered, not drowned. This person is an ESL speaker/writer with distinctive syntax. One of the Bad Friends is from Loudoun. I just think that's interesting.

Well, only if you are a person of low morals, I guess.

It's been 12 days of detention and questioning. Charge or release him. US needs to demand his return. If/when DR chooses to charge him, I'm confident our dear leader will ship him back in chains.

He was expected to report when the girlfriends were off for a day trip?

Most trained lifeguards report a near drowning esp if the person then disappears and could be in the water or medical trouble.

He and Carter alone knew she was missing as of the time Ribe got back.

They withheld that info from authorities and her friends.

As soon as friends knew she was missing the raised alert with resort and her family.

He is the one who benefited from delay. What did he do all day? What was he holding in his pocket walking back? It wasn’t a phone or his room key.
