[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how would you know you were the last person to see someone (especially a college woman you'd just drunkenly met hours earlier)? And you're to take responsibility when the FIVE traveling companions of the woman are kinda in a rush to meet their boat excursion sailaway time? [/quote]

I think someone is desperately trying to keep suspicion on the boy. Someone familiar with DCUM.

Why? That is the question.[/quote]

Because the family is important.  And there’s no way their daughter could have made a series of bad choices (getting wasted, swimming in the ocean in the dark wasted, etc) that may have resulted in her demise.  So it has to be someone else’s fault.  [/quote]

What do you mean the family is important?[/quote]

IKR.  Every so often a PP proclaims the "importance" of this family but none of us have ever heard of them and the PP never explains.  Well, PP?[/quote]

DP. But the whole point of having a good reputation is that in times like this it counts. [/quote]

This is not India. Doesn’t matter how “important” her family is. [/quote]

Maybe it's like that saying- you can take the Indian out of India, but you can't take the Indian out of them (or something like that)? You can substitute another country, it could probably apply to other immigrants or countries as well. Maybe their Indian community wherever they may live cares? [/quote]

Their community has closed ranks around the friends. Nothing is being said about any of them, they're not speaking, and they left DR right away. No press conference crying about where is my best friend, please come home, we miss you and love you. NOTHING. The community has surrounded them and protecting them. They're perfectly fine with someone outside of their community taking the fall, very possibly for a crime he didn't commit, as long as it means no consequences for them and that their lives and continue on the previously set trajectory. The parents of the missing woman aren't even speaking out whatsoever against the friends.

I do not think this makes their community unique and it isn't intended to be racist in any way; this type of behavior is seen in many, MANY different tight knit communities. [/quote]

Silence speaks volumes. Good or bad whatever.

They have already given their stories it seems to LE. They probably got the hell out of the country because they don't want to suffer too, or vacation in a place that based on some of the travel reviews -eek. Or and most likely they had to resume classes after spring break. They must be in shock or feeling guilty for various reasons, whether they were "best" friends or not, they have lost a friend temporarily or forever. Or they have been advised to protect "their" community's image which at this point is so ridonc (yes, okay, Indian young women also party get over it - there's a young woman missing. Or they have all been advised not to speak to media they don't want attention drawn to them for safety reasons, or possibly if they know other things ("their" culture related things or possibly related to India/Indian embassy if that is whom the young woman's parents had to contact if it was alleged that US authorities couldn't or wouldn't help them initially in the DR etc..). And their stories could affect the US's POI as he recollects his memories.[/quote]
