Didn't the security cameras show her last time being seen at that the beach, her friends going back to their rooms, and then the guy later going to his room? Be kind of hard for the security cameras not to see someone carry or moving a body. The Riu is between the Hard Rock and Occidental Caribe. As the sun starts to come up you will find several people walking the beach, out on their balconies. That is one big wide open beach area, not a lot of places to hide a body or move a body.
Ridiculous. There are tons of security as the Hard Rock and Occidental in addition to the Riu all have security. This guy just can't take being DEAD WRONG ever......

The sus claims he dragged himself out of the rough cape Hatteras style waters, vomited then collapsed on the beach, where he remained passed out for hours. Then he wakes up and goes back to his room. Come on! No normal human with a face could believe that
And why not. If you were ever on that beach you would know that most days you cannot even swim more than 10 feet out without a lifeguard getting on you. And if you get drunk on the rot gut whiskey they serve in the Riu all this could easily happen..............Not to mention eating earlier at the Buffet....................

I realize your deep rooted hatred for anyone that goes against your model, but no one in this process has anything except guessing/probability until a body is confirmed or the gal appears again. I'm sure you agree with that at least.

My model. What about the four guys that drowned at the same hotel 6 weeks before? Maybe this guy is a serial killer operating out of the Riu.................

Your familiar with that area, that beach can rough. If they had been drinking maybe he did not realize she didn't come out of the water. At that time of the early morning people are getting up, going to watch the sunrise, going out on their balconies.

I know the beach well. Lived on it for 5 years. Very dangerous swimming. No one killed her. Unfortunately the only plausible explanation is she drowned............

That exactly happened to a friend of mine in Cabarete years ago. He told he left the beach bar at 3am drunk as a skunk and the next thing he knew he woke up face down in the sand on the beach around 7am. I don't find that impossible to believe.

Hijo just a question, are familiar with that area? From the Hard Rock all the way down to the Occidental Caribe (Riu Republic is in between) it is a wide-open beach area, no coves, nothing really. Security/workers are normally out there fairly early before sunup moving beach chairs etc... It would not surprise me at all that they went into the water, wave came, and she could not get out. Like I said maybe he thought she came out, but like you said until they find her nothing is for certain. I should add that believe it or not you can find people passed out on beach chairs. Too much drinking, they pass out, wake up in the morning when people start coming to the beach.

I can see that it is plausible. That said it sure looks like the sus went into the water with the victim (both potentially intoxicated), did something he immediately regretted and well, here we are. I, unlike others here, admit I could be wrong, but I am going with innocent people don't wait 2 days to come forward and then have 3 versions of what happened.

More asinine comments in order to deflect debate. Who TF is now talking about serial killer. How foolish. There is a suspect being questioned and his name is Joshua Steven Riibe. He was a guest at the resort and they both in fact went into the water together. Come on man!

You want theories. How about like you said they both went in. A big wave comes and the guy manages to run out of the water leaving her to drown. Never tried to save her. Murder, no. Coward yes..................

Possible, but Im sticking with innocent people don't wait 2 days to come forward then recant 3 versions of what happened. Honestly, my take is he did something he immediately regretted and it led to this point.

This is the Riu Republica looking toward the ocean, the other hotel to the right is the Occidental Caribe. To the left of the photo would be the Hard Rock if it was in the photo.

The thing he regretted is being a coward and running without trying to save her. ...........
