You remember bits and pieces of your evening after vomiting and prior to passing out.

There is an awful lot of missing time between the bits and the pieces (speaking as someone who has blacked out a few times). Your brain reconfigures memories beause it is trying to fill in the gaps.

+1. Even the stuff he thinks he remembers is probably rubbish. This is a good ole boy from the Midwest, a lifeguard. He’s not some serial killer. People have lost their damn minds.

I’m sorry, but your logic is crap. One doesn’t have to be a serial killer to get pissed off at a pretty girl for not giving you what you want, and respond with physical assault

Not only is he an unfounded killer with no criminal record and a good clean solid background but this frankly totally average looking girl becomes “pretty,” which teases out how biased and personally you’re taking this.

She is very pretty and looks and education wise, out of his league.

Not really, he's a citizen and is getting a college degree. And she obviously found him attractive so not sure about out of his league.

They obviously recognize the stress on the young man who was last with her as well as her friends who traveled with her. It looks like they are looking beyond their pain to make sure these kids are okay. In this day and age when people don’t seem to be caring, this family stands out for their kindness.

Could not agree more. Bless them.

Its really in poor taste to argue about whether a dead girl was pretty or not. She was interested in this average guy so clearly they considered each other about even in attractiveness.

It would be nice if the parents now hold a press conference here in the U.S., explain carefully to the public that neither the girls NOR the young man are responsible for her drowning. Perhaps they can add the young man went to great lengths to try to be helpful. They should ask the Dominican Republic to release the poor boy so he can go back to his studies.

While it's understandable that in their shock and embarrassment and grief they were suggesting their daughter might have been the victim of trafficking or murder, they need to be cognizant these accusations were picked up by the media to outright accuse the innocent young man. They need to publicly thank him, and offer an apology to him for what the media and the Dominican Republic have put him through.

I realize the parents didn't ask for this and they reacted as loving and horrified parents. But there has to be a certain level of culpability on their part for what this boy has gone through. They need to take steps to help lift the cloud of blame from his good name so that it doesn't follow him for the rest of his life -- just as the Indian community has circled around the girls to protect them from fallout.

I hope that young man acquires an SOB lawyer to go after the Dominican Republic for detaining him illegally, and to go after the media for dragging his good name through the mud. The Indian community did a good job of protecting the girls. Those girls were more culpable than this boy, as they were the friends who had a responsibility to keep tabs on each other. The boy was there to have fun, no more, but he is the one who paid the price.

What I've learned from this incident is that the Dominican Republic has dangerous resorts full of crime. I read an account of a woman who got assaulted by a resort employee. I read of bars that routinely spike drinks. It goes on. This is a freaking dangerous destination.

May this tragedy be a reminder to American college kids that these excursion can turn deadly in a moment. May the girl's soul rest in peace.

I think he should move on with his life, grateful that he did not drown.

Yep that may be it. Or other? Indians can be Christians too <gasp>.

I genuinely cannot fathom you are a parent (or a resl, non-trolling person) coming up with a gd to do list for these grieving parents. Snd that they should praise the kid is absurd! I think he probably didn’t harm her but his dating rescue story is legitimately absurd.

I still think 3rd parties may have been involved, that he may not even be aware of. Trafficking, sex and organs, is rife in DR. Trip Advisor is full of close calls, spiked drinks and men/husbands being offered cash for wives. Involved LE and resort staff would be well protected.

I hope her family’s faith can bring them some comfort.

I hope the posters publicizing the names of her student friends have karma visit soon.

But the young woman's parents are probably not the reason the POI is still there. That should be taken up with DR directly.

None of that happened. Continuing to post insane thoughts does not help her family at all.

Press conference? Geez. They are probably not the reason the POI was detained and remained there so why should they "clear" him?

She is very pretty and looks and education wise, out of his league.

To be honest, both Pitt and St. Cloud State University both state school degree mills. He's studying land surveying and mapping sciences, a very practical and focused outdoorsy career which will net him a six-figure salary and comfortable work-life balance. As for their looks, the media is certainly going out of their way to create that 'out of his league' narrative featuring only photos of her with tons of makeup and filters. They're both average looking. He's a muscular jock, presumably a kind and fun 'golden retriever' personality.
