I salute her father for fighting for his daughter when rest of the world was fine believing the story of the suspect and closing the case.

Alcohol is proven to be a toxin for heath and root cause of so much that goes wrong from accidents, partner abuse, loss of jobs, sexual assaults, physical assaults, divorces, child abuse, elder abuse, financial problems, hospitalization and so much more

I doubt that very much.
What else would she do? There is no evidence she came out and lay down on the beach. Unlikely she would wander father down in the beach into the dark. Even drunk, her brain would take her towards the lights. And being crashed into the sand by the waves in the water would have probably sobered her up slightly.

Sad that things like this need to keep happening for people to realize DR is a s**thole and no one without a death wish should go there

Resorts may be safer, relatively, than cities but robberies and sexual assaults occur, often involving drugged drinks.
This from a USA Today article. It also included the account of a woman who was not alone and was served a drugged drink in a public area and then was sexually assaulted. The missing girl was far more vulnerable.
For the most part, resort areas are safer compared to metropolitan areas such as Santo Domingo since there is a tourist police corps. However, even around the resorts, travelers should avoid dark, secluded places, especially if they’re alone, and stay away from the beaches at night.

This thread is wild. Some of you have some very active imaginations. Or obsessions. It’s hard to tell which.

Another incident from only 2 months ago, at Hard Rock, purportedly a safer resort. Pls note the targets are sometimes in groups, even with children.
As in this case and the missing girl, resorts and locals dismiss and minimize safety concerns. It protects tourism but leaves predators unchecked.
3. Safety Concerns
During our stay, my husband and I experienced a deeply concerning incident after consuming drinks at one of the pool bars. We both became severely disoriented and incapacitated after only two drinks each, leading us to suspect tampering with our beverages. This was not only alarming but left our young daughter frightened as we struggled to care for her. Guest safety should be a top priority, and this experience made us feel anything but secure. Upon arriving home, we reached out to the resort about our concerns and we were met with disbelief. They failed to even ask for the simplest of details of our experience and assured us things were researched and investigated. There couldn’t possibly have been any investigation due to not even asking the time, place or even a description of the bartender who served our drinks.
