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.

Kids go to places like DR to be irresponsibly drunk and for casual hook ups. With that implicit understanding, one's friends will not stand in the way of actualizing that goal.
Sorry, DR is not Disneyland.

Exactly. I think a number of posters on this thread did not have traditional American college experiences.

Watching someone drown and doing nothing?

stop the insanity

Why? Do YOU know?

Power just went on around 3 am that morning. The power had been off for 24 hours so more people were not in their rooms because no AC. It also could have allowed someone to sneak in resort because it was dark. There will be so many theories to run down. I am holding out hope that she was kidnapped and maybe could still be alive.

She was not kidnapped. Only two scenarios here. She drowned or the gringo did something to her.

To her parents, she is more of an innocent, virtuous, pure, sweet victim if she was kidnapped into international human trafficking.

That scenario is more pleasant than:

- she got wasted out of her mind and possibly wanted to get laid, like the popular resort cocktail “s*x on the beach” - all of which would have been “dumb” decisions their “brilliant” daughter surely could not have made.

Yes, cognitive dissonance for them because they have entrenched cultural and generational views about their "perfect" daughter. I felt her dad's anguish when he said she was a "good girl." No doubt she was. But of course she was human, too, and a sexual being who wanted to desire and feel desired. And young, enjoying a brief space of freedom from the hard academic work she's been focused on as long as she can remember. I feel so sorry for her, wanting to be carefree and even a little wild, with such a tragic outcome. I agree with a PP this could have been any of our kids and we should all be feeling very grateful they're safe right now.

How do you come to that thinking? YOU don't know what happened, do you??

NP. I consider staying up all night, getting very drunk, hanging out with a strange man alone, and swimming in the ocean at dark making the choice to be a little wild. You don't think so? I didn't do any of those things in college. Not because I was a superior person, just because I was never bold enough to take those kinds of risks.

This is wild behavior. Even if just letting loose for the moment. And it’s so unfair and sad there was a tragic outcome. Most of us on this board have done something similar at that age and are lucky we survived. The most plausible scenario is that she drowned. I do understand her parents continuing to search…we’d all do the same.

Completely agree. Poor girl. I truly hope her parents get closure, even if the sad ending is inevitable at this point. Not knowing for sure must be absolute torture.

The traditional American college experience is the problem.

Not everyone participates in the "traditional" American college experience. Have you heard of Alternative Spring Break programs?

I never did such trips because I didn't have the money.
And if I did, I'd have gone to Europe to see beautiful art and buildings, not some boring beach in some poor country.
I don't understand the fascination with beaches. I get the soothing sounds of water and watching the waves is hypnotizing and calming. And the kids can build all sorts of fun stuff with wet sand. But sand all over me and my stuff is not fun. Drunk with sand all over me and my stuff is really not fun. Add a sunburn and no thanks.

Dumbest thing that guy did that night was allow himself to be alone with a drunk girl.

- and we wonder why boys in 2025 America won’t risk trying to date girls.

Have you ever been around someone so drunk that they have no idea what is going on?

Yes. Many times, in college. These kids had been drinking ALL night. Expecting rational actions and behaviors doesn't make a lot of sense in that context.

How does anyone on here (and assuming you are not any of the bartenders who made drinks for any of these young adults that night into morning) know who drank, who ordered POM instead of red wine (college students prob don't drink wine anyways), and how much any of them consumed, whether their drinks were legit ones etc etc.? Doubt any one on this site has answers. Just a whole lot of damn legitimate questions.

She wasn’t kidnapped. This is not colombia.

No, Colombia isn't a spring breakers haven with all you can drink buffets.

No, it's some dirt poor country with dirty liquor and no laws that frequently loses power. Sounds fun .

Plenty of people on here let their kids go to beach week or have parties where they serve alcohol. A kid is sitting in Arlignton county jail right now after killing his friend from a drunk driving accident whole being so completely hammered and “supervising” a freshman high school party.

Most parents DO NOT CONDONE this. I never did. My adult sons are very successful and never felt the need to get wasted. As my son is in medical school this is frowned upon.

You don't know everything your children do. I am a very successful female adult, went to an Ivy, got great grades and never caused my parents any trouble. I didn't even drink for most of college. However, I made a ton of stupid naive mistakes in college that could've turned out poorly if things happened differently.

Yes, but you are an American. Sudiksha’s parents are culturally Indian and were raised in India.

In India, good girls (ie - the upper caste / intelligent girl), would never behave in such a fashion. What would happen if a girl were to behave in this way and word got out? The whole family could be dishonored by such shameful behavior. People talk you know.

No. Sudiksha is a good girl, as father has already stated.

No one knows yet what exactly happened.

How do YOU know SKC (her initials , right?) had more than a drink or two? Maybe there are videos of it that probably most of us haven't watched. How does anyone know that she had more than she could tolerate and that her drinks were legit, that she didn't have some underlying health conditions, something bad she ate while there, something had happened that night prior to time on the beach?

And welcome to America then. The "what will others think" thinking among that culture and community and many other commujities is something that community may need to start reflecting upon.

PP you’ve responded to, and I agree. Unless this guy has a violent past, there is no reason to suspect him of anything. He’ll be dragged through the mud and suspected for the rest of his life regardless.

He told LE he saw her get knocked down by a wave and not surface.

Then he changed his story several more times.

US LE is not buying it.
