Girl Missing from RIU Hotel in Punta Cana

I wish I was as smart as you, clearly a Mensa member
Possible but what are the odds in a timezone that doesn't have Day Light Savings changes? I'd imagine they've had to use the cameras before for other issues.
I saw a comment to a video claiming he had tourism industry interests and thought nothing of it, only to later learn that he has a personal stake in the industry. Perhaps its the don't kick the can down the road type of thing for him. Do it now and the headlines may be less once acceptance of loss kicks in.
Only ONE Problem with that Plan.. they have to Find the Body . Otherwise the Stain will NEVER Go away .
A Disappearance, with no closure will 100% go the NATALEE HALLOWAY Route .. They are already making the Comparisons.
And that is a worst case Scenario for Punta Cana, and DR Tourism.

The problem I see with that comparison is that a local was suspected of killing Halloway. In this case, we have an American spring breaker staying at the same resort that is the potential suspect and it happened very late at night out on the beach somewhere. I really don't see that having any effect on DR tourism.
As has been stated by various members, no one knows anything re what transpired down there on the beach that dawn and early morning. Cameras out of range, no witnesses have come forward (to-date) and all we have is some cornpone brute, who was the last one seen with her, giving three versions of the incident to police. And then going back to his room until later that day without saying a word to the front desk.
No one knows. Absolutely everything is on the table. Anything could have happened down there. It was a lot of elapsed time. What if he lied about passing out or napping? We have no way to corroborate his story. That's not hard to see.
See my other post 426 above for reference point. So the kid wakes up right before 10am, walks back to the hotel and up to his room. I may have missed it, but I'm fairly certain there are no reports saying they saw this kid sleeping in a chair on the beach that morning. Maybe not at the time, but now that his face has been plastered all over the Internet last few days, nobody saw him out there that morning?
How about he wakes up on the beach and doesn't see the girl. He assumes she went back to her room and then goes to his.
How do we corroborate that he was sleeping on the beach those 4 hours? What if they walked off somewhere together. What if they never were in the water? What if instead they walked off with intentions to be intimate somewhere else? Who knows if they shook this guy down for DNA like under his fingernails? It really smells bad. But really bad.
Yes Correct
From 5:55AM ( when the others Left them ) to 10 AM.. SOMEONE must have seen him passed out sleeping on the Beach chair . and that so far No one has come forward as far as we know . These 4 Hours have to be corroborated .. Period . The FBI is surely looking into this .
People are most definitely walking on the beach in the Early AM ( Sunrise was around 6:45 ? ) there is no way that NO one would have seen him Passed out if he was actually there .
If it turns out that he is Lying about being passed out on the beach , thats a major red Flag .
I'm not questioning or doubting that possibility at all. What I'm saying is, even if he did it, I don't see that affecting DR tourism one bit. A drunk American spring breaker kills another on some lonesome stretch of beach late at night. Tragic, but it's not going to hurt DR tourism. It's not like the Holloway case at all.
Right... and wrong. I posted up a ways that most reasonable humans are able to separate the DR and the hotel from this incident (if the incident solely involved two foreigners on vacation). However, most can't separate the stigma. You appear as someone who understands marketing basics. If this turns out to be foul play, it will have stigmatic effect on the AI demographic.
Take a look at Miami. Year after year there is violence, mayhem, and shoot outs with people,killed and they come back for more! Same with Cancun, Tulum, and Playa Del Carmen. Many incidents of cartel related violence and shooting with some tourists killed and there was only a very brief dip in tourism. What happened in PC will be quickly forgotten - just like the bad alcohol.
Yes and we all know what a college age drunk-myself-stupid hangover is like.
Heck I remember waking up in college in a strange girl's apartment, not knowing who she was nor where my car was.
After walking a couple miles back to my place and nursing a pounding hangover for some hours I had to get my roommate to drive me around town to find my car which was nowhere near her apartment. So thankfully I did not drive.
I never knew where we met, what we did or how we got to her place. One of my not-so-proud evenings.
Rational & clear-headed thinking does not reside in the head of a young man when alcohol is added along with a beautiful exotic-looking girl on a Caribbean beach.
So the young man may not remember much about that night past a certain point of intoxication. Someone passing out in the sand on the beach can be probably be seen on any weekend in several resorts in Punta Cana.
Stories like this and the Canadian boy assaulted into brain surgery surely don't encourage familes to go to not-so-safe AI resorts.
Can't happen. Just listen to one guy leading the charge who has ZERO credibility in this thread. He clearly intentionally posted that the guy was not interviewed until TWO days after it happened. ONLY when challenged multiple times for a link which was ignored he knew his lie to bolster his nonsense was exposed he says he made a "mistake". Yes he stuck with this falsehood for multiple posts until exposed for the fraud that it was..............
You would think that Chico, but Canadian and US citizens enduring a long cold winter probably don’t give safety a second thought. They appear to have very short memories and believe if they stay on the resort property, nothing will happen to them.
It comes down to price and convenience and the DR has the best reputation for cheap one and two week AI vacations. Next year, DR tourism will be crowing about an increase in the number of tourists at their AI resorts despite what’s going on at the RIU in Punta Cana.
I have a few friends who faithfully head to Mexico every winter. Wouldn’t even consider going anywhere else. They‘ve seen drug related violence in the towns but their attitude is it won’t happen to me. Same for my expat friends in Colombia. Cheap and warm is the draw and nothing will change that. DR resort owners depend on that and it’s worked to their advantage so far.
I don't see a problem with that attitude. 11 million tourists and only a few deaths? Do the arithmetic. I would bet it's safer in a DR resort than any American city.
In the US you can get gunned down with an assault weapon in a Mall, Classroom, Church, or pretty much anywhere. And they give a warning for the Dominican Republic. Talk about the "The Pot Calling the Kettle Black"...............
