[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think there's anything particularly weird about her friends' behavior. They left her in a public place with a guy she seemed to be into, most likely to hook up. She likely insisted on being left. Was it a bad call in hindsight? Sure. But she's an adult likely saying she wants to stay behind with a guy she had her arm around earlier in the night. What exactly are they supposed to do? I'm sure it seemed safe because he was also a US tourist staying at the resort and they were leaving them out in the open/in public. Probably had the same aura of safety that a college campus does, where this exact same behavior happens every day (i.e., kids go out in groups to drink, eventually a couple or two peels off to hook up).

We don't actually know whether she was supposed to go with them on the day trip, but even assuming she was... they knew she was drunk & with a guy in the wee early hours of the morning (probably only a couple of hours before they went on the excursion). Would they really be shocked when she didn't show? Maybe they had gone home to sleep because of the excursion and when she chose to stay out they assumed she was blowing it off.

As soon as they got back and couldn't find her, they reported her missing.

It would be helpful to know why they had her phone. Did she leave it in her room because it was dead from the power outage or because she didn't want to get it wet/sandy at the beach? Not weird at all. Did she hand it off that evening? Weirder, but still not that weird if it had died.[/quote]

It has been reported she made a boat Venmo payment so likely supposed to go.

Had Ribe notified the friends at 10am that he was back alone and had not seen her in hours, they likely would have raised the alarm immediately. He knew from CJ that they had texted looking for her.[/quote]
When in doubt, just head to the boat excursion without Sudiksha and assume she intended to miss the boat trip she paid for? Just assume she’s still with the random drunk dude they just met when you last saw her drunk at the beach at 4am, and all’s cool? [/quote]

Yes indeed. And multiple people have said that, multiple times. They assumed she was with him for a hookup and sleeping off a hangover with him, which is not unusual behavior for drunk college students on spring break. They assumed they’d see her later when they returned. [/quote]
Wrong. It’s only YOU with all the assumptions and drawing all your own conclusions and attempting to shut down (“shut up”) any conversation otherwise.
