Have a bad feeling about this huge guy, could be another Natalie Holloway.

Claiming she was not seen out of water and that she was, which is it? If he saw her after the water, where is she?!!!

Well, her "friends" aren't much better.

We need to do a better job teaching kids how to identify who your friends are and how to be better friends. I feel terrible for this family. Tragic.

Who are you to judge that?

Well, let's see...They hadn't seen their friend since around 4:00 a.m. and didn't know where she was in a foreign country but thought they'd just go on a day trip?!

How were they going to reach her if 1. She didn't have her phone on her, 2. Or they tried reaching her but she didn't pick up maybe because they thought she was still sleeping or with that guy? 3. Things werent known at time of them going on a day trip? Didn't read all the reports to know if any of those questions were answered.

Was the guy known to them on that trip prior to that night? One of the young woman's friend could have stayed with her tho on the beach (being a better friend). Does anyone actually know what occurred before the friends left to go back to the hotel and her staying on beach?

No. Friend's job was to tell her why this is a bad idea and to inform resort desk that she didn't come back at night before going for the scheduled trip. She wasn't required to put herself in danger at night at beach in a foreign country with a drunk male.

“Hey front desk, my friend was hooking up with a guy and they are passed out in his room. They can catch up with us at the local watering hole where we’ll be snorkeling. Ciao!”

But no one said they saw her come back to the hotel nor did they say she was seen in video footage coming back..right?

Did her friends know that at the time they took off for their excursion?

Been almost a week now. I am surprised they have nothing yet. The longer this drags out the worse it is.

Common?

the blackout is SOOO sketchy

It’s not. It’s happened before. They have a backup generator.

Idk what’s taking so long to find her in the waters. The longer it takes the more i suspect the us citizen killed her.

First of all it's water. And he is not responsible for some drunk girl he just met at the resort. No mater that he is from the the us.

So his story is that he was passed out? Did they interview resort staff too to see if any of them were involved in this missing person case? Other vacation goers who were on beach hanging out that late?

Obviously, no one in the world is going to care about her disappearance, nor will anybody cover the story in the media.

Unfortunately, this is true.
Blonde, blue-eyed get the most media attention.
And are also the salient features of girls and women who are kidnapped.

Why are you guys doubling down on this life? It’s all over the news.

Also, but who freaking cares? Oh no, my daughter wasn’t as prominently featured in tragedy porn as some other girl!

It doesn’t matter. The entire country dwelling on it for months like Holloway will make pretty much the same difference for this girl as it did for Holloway.

Please just teach your daughters to stick together at all times when traveling or out at the club.

Progressives all claim that’s impossible because “America is so racist,” the media won’t cover stories about missing women-of-color; right NPR?

Even before NBC News picked it up, my best friend's local news in Grand Rapids, MI reported on it. She used to live in Loudoun and hearing that during the broadcast made her do a doubletake.

It’s even a bigger story in DR. A lot of coverage. Again you never see missing people in resorts over there. Just hope the family gets some closure. For me there’s just two options. She drowned or the american tourist killed her.

Why? You may have missed some posts way up thread about alcohol from certain areas on the resorts or something. Here's a CNN story about Americans who died in DR since 2018:

2019/06/19/us/dominican-republic-list-of-people-reported-dead/index.html

If the family was so important they would be sending their daughter to the Ritz Carlton and NOT a dump in the the DR.

Apparently it is a 5 star resort. Maybe it's considered a 5 star for college students?

They were probably suspects since they were with her until they headed back to hotel and she didn't. They had drinks in hotel lobby around 3am reports said. If it was minibar, no good. They could perhaps find in video footage of who was responsible for any wrongdoing if it involved drinks or any other things.

It's the Riu Republica, which is known as party central. Think Spring break in Cancun.

I've been to Punta Cana myself, but at a much more laid back resort that is geared toward middle-age couples. We felt completely safe there.

This one is supposed to be a 5 star one

It's taken 3 days for this to hit the media. She's a lovely, brilliant young woman - hope they find her.

The only people who can have a big impact on this are people in the exact place where she went missing.

People think all the media coverage helps but I don't think it does at all. It's just voyeuristic horror stories to frighten ourselves with. All that Natalee Holloway coverage didn't do a bit of good. Her killer wasn't busted and he reoffended.

What helps are police and other people on the ground.

And right now our fed.govt. is in a mess so I wouldn't be hoping for speedy, effective diplomacy right now...and even if it was effective...only people who saw her, maybe the local telecom if people nearby were producing phone data, and anyone involved in however she disappeared can help. So at best US diplomatic pressure might hurry up some data analysis. It wouldn't bring this poor girl home alive.

It's an Indian involved and aren't Orangehead and India's leader Modi tight? So he will probably send over US officials to assist in this case. Looks like there are US personnel already there.

The theories are accidental drowning or beefy fug dude twice her size didn’t like hearing no and killed her. The girls did not kill her. Are you drunk?
