For sure, as a side note some other American suspects do things and get away with it including just last month, it may just have to do with how fast one can get to the airport putting them out of reach of the system. They may have to release him soon, nothing concrete seems to be sticking so far besides suspicion.

If he did, he ain't telling, yet the world is watching (no easier way to get out of it quick than by promptly exposing beating/duress etc)
let me help you a little first thing they do when you're a suspect is they take your passport they will give it back to you when they are done now if you go to the United States and it turns out they need more questioning you will have to come back cuz they will put a warrant out for your arrest in the states

I guess my point is, being questioned over and over, in another country, no family, no support. I think you know what I mean.
We don't know what went on in the investigatory process. What the family claims is just that. I assume that YBR is there, among other tasks, to resolve that. It's daunting being questioned by authorities in a foreign country yes. When I was a recent college grad working at the Commerzbank in Frankfurt, my mom sent me my script for blood pressure medication in the mail! The customs folks called me down and grilled me. It was superfluous. That said, this is actually irrelevant. Whether in a foreign country or not, I think we can all agree that one understands that giving conflicting accounts is horrific optics. When you're guilty, you're simply not as confident and stories vary then you start looking into blame it on you didn't get due process.

Yet to see that happen in a few cases where suspected greasing may have happened (street smart persons know how this can work). I do however get your point. The warrant would have to pass the smell test for extradition to be successful and as we can both agree, the DR has a system riddled with corruption with a less than stellar reputation which would be an extradition defense in court. The original passport can be cancelled if he gets out somehow (I won't suggest here how he easily could) and he will just get another one in the US if US officials think he had no involvement except being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

This is accurate. Not the best delivery, but nonetheless accurate

Unless and until they come up with some more evidence, circumstantial or otherwise, I say he's going to be under house arrest for quite a while longer. I think they kept the Pivot Airline crew under house arrest for eight months(?).

Ethics? When I was looking at the start of this thread for your post that you claimed never happened before I found it I saw at least 5 posts stating the guy delayed being interviewed for TWO DAYS. Which was a blatant lie................You can look it up too...........
Someone's a little cwanky today 😢

Opinions are like arseholes..... Everybody has one, and most stink.

Nobody is going to change their opinion because some wannabe detectives on dr1 think they solved the case, using he-said-she-said chistes and/or by looking at the young POI picture, and shazam, by some miracle, they know everything about his character.

They got another Canadian recently to replace them https://globalnews.ca/news/11082759/burlington-man-dominican-republic-drug-detained not sure what's going on in that airport these days.

POI may just end up being an extended guest as you say but the Trump admin may also get to bat for him just as they did for Andrew Tate in Romania if he has the right connections, its not business as usual these days. The only thing perhaps causing a pause on pressure is her also being a US person or resident and her family having connections to keep a spotlight on the case.

Agreed, early on with an immediate exit it might have had a chance. We can only wait and see now. I think all types of permutations have been made known here, but there shall only be one that turns into reality in the coming days.

If it is of general interest you can take a look at the study on memory loss in crime instances post #816

Whatever our "pathetic and sad useless opinions", according to one member up a few, the face of the prosecutorial arm of justice in the Dominican Republic, appointed by President Abinader, is currently in PC. It is clear that how this moves forward, or not, will be the position of the highest hand in the country. Whether her role is a marketing face or a true prosecutor in this specific case, and I have little knowledge of her true CV, is irrelevant. We will soon know the direction.

There’s so much we don’t know.

He could be totally innocent and completely out of his depth there. Guilty of drinking too much and being irresponsible. I understand his father is there with him. We don’t know anything about the boy. Good or bad.

I also understand her parents left. Hard for me to comprehend that. If my daughter was missing, they’d have to drug me and tie me up and spirit me out of the country. I’d never leave voluntarily. Someone posted about Hindu and Muslim sobriety, could they have been horrified when faced with the proof that their daughter was drinking? Enough to leave? How shameful is that???? We don’t know.

I was 20 years old once. I remember the stupid things we did. Thankfully it was long before the internet and social media, so there is no proof. These kids are no different than most of us were at their age. And I’m pretty sure none of us are a jury of their peers. We’re their parents or grandparents ages. We see life through a different lens.
