Hey, F you. A local family is missing their daughter, presumed dead, and this is what you have to offer? You piece of trash.

You’re talking to the poster who just had to mention their kid went to TJ right?

Most parts of the world are very dangerous by comparison, and life is cheap.

Our gun violence rates are pretty atrocious,

A young local girl is likely dead and people can’t even stay on topic?

Hard to stop someone over 18.

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

Are they not US citizens then?

No, they are Indian citizens who moved here to send their kid to Thomas Jefferson.

They thought they were giving her a better life. 🥹

I would think the guy raping and killing her is more likely.

The story leaves out who the other person was that she went into the water with and whether they also drowned.

Was it one of her friends? Another guest at the hotel? A local?

A guy friend, shown in a video earlier that evening with his arm around her.

No, she was with a group of 6 female friends. She went to swim in the ocean and was caught by a big wave. Read the news before speculating.

Life is fragile. I feel so sad for her and her parents.

You have the story wrong.

I agree with this.

Well, the minimum drinking age law has been rigorously evaluated. It has saved thousands of lives. Thousands.

Why is that weird to you? She was comfortable enough with him to go dancing until 3 AM and then go hang out on the beach past 5 AM – does not seem beyond the realm of normal that he would have his arm around her.

But it makes me wonder if he expected something, unreasonably?

I have known of people to ask for entire bottles of wine to take with them to the beach and seen that happen, but the concept of lobby alcohol sounds crazy.

Who said it was just left there?

I assumed there was a hotel bar in the lobby.

It's speculation by a random PI, not working on the case and with no access to all the details the investigators (including the FBI) have.

And the parents are desperate to believe she might still be alive. They made a big deal about the fact that she left her phone and belongings with her friends, "which she would never do." She was drunk fhs and not making her usual rational choices, which I'm sure her friends attested to.

That sounds like she did plan to go swimming.

She wasn't old enough for preschool if they moved here in 2006 and probably parents weren't even familiar with the school system here.

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?

While my college years were obviously quite awhile ago….if a friend didn’t return at night (or wasn’t there in the AM) it would generally be assumed that they went home with a guy. For example the guy she had been hanging out with and swimming with. Or crashed in another friend’s room.

And if she didn’t show up for a scheduled excursion, the friends would’ve texted her but again- likely assumed she was still asleep or hungover.

It is understandable that the friends didn’t think much of it. IMO. As a 40-something mom obviously it all sounds horrifying but remembering back- this kind of thing happened all the time. And everyone was fine.

Please tell your peeps. Not too smart to leave your own culture to come here to go to TJ.
