[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This all seems strange. Everyone went on day trip but her? There is a lot missing. I also am now understanding the problems with the power outage at hotel. 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.[/quote]

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

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]
