[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][size=9] [/size][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Haven't read the 207 pages.

Some friends this girl had. Even if she hooked up with the guy, when she didn't show up for the excursion after she venmo'd for it,  how could they just go about their day until 4pm.

And this guy with the hero syndrome most likely did something to her.

And the parents knowing she's dead probably just don't want her name dragged through the mud by the Indian circle in Ashburn and Aldie and want her declared dead. They must be looking out for their other children.

It's sad that this girl won't get justice.[/quote]

Well, you should read the 208 pages. Nothing you have said hasn't been said already and discussed.[/quote]

Her parents’ action is not even based in law and it’s an extremely unusual action, esp less than 2 weeks after she went missing. They have created an additional spectacle.

I’m not sure both parents are in agreement re this timing. [/quote]

My guess is that they have been pressured in some way using their citizenship/residency status as leverage.  They have two younger kids at home whose lives have already been turn upside down by what has happened to their sister. Being deported from the only place those kids know of as home would cause additional trauma.

Pure speculation, but that was the feeling I got watching their news statement.

Didn't sense that from probably the same press coverage you watched. It looked like parents in incredible shocking grief and the thought of those words being read were unbearable for one of them to hear. The other one - the father- finished despite his body language also clearly in pain. They may have been advised by an attorney to make such a declaration. Everything is speculation but what if there was pressure from the families of their daughter's traveling companions? To stop unwanted spotlight on the students. Those young women also must be grieving.[/quote]

There is no provision in DR law for such a declaration without a body, in this time frame. There is no provision in US law either, where the typical statute requires 7 years. It was an extraordinary and legally baseless action. A special law would have to be passed in DR. [/quote]
