They could have had it and just said they didn't or placed an impedimento de salida. Who knows.

He's free to go - except for the fact he doesn't have his passport.
Nothing the embassy couldn't sort out or it may magically surface now that it is no longer in danger of seizure. He could be in the US as early as tomorrow.

Here's one of a few I came across

I don't know, we will see. I am not sure how accurate all this is but again we will see. It says a hearing for the location of his passport but then says he lost his passport. They returned a friend's passport, I did not know someone else was involved?

It was not immediately clear when Riibe would be able to leave the country. Riibe will have another hearing on March 28, when he is expected to receive an explanation about the location of his passport. He can move freely within the Dominican Republic until then.

Riibe's lawyers had said his passport was confiscated, but prosecutors argued that he lost his passport. Meanwhile, Dominican authorities returned Riibe's friend's passport on Tuesday afternoon.

First it has to be on topic, then we can't take pot shots, but one member always does hmmm, then you have to post a link then the source isn't accurate. Do I have it right yet? 🤣

I'm far from an expert, but maybe that was put in the tos when I was under anesthesia?

It certainly did . It locked in and documented HIS STORY , his version of events.
These is no changing it now.
And if the DR Govt gives them the Death Certificate, they will also be locked in to the Accidental Drowning Story.
If anything changes either of those 2 assumptions of No Foul Play , they have a Massive Lawsuit , and the DR will have a major PR Disaster on their hands.
One of the lawyers, or maybe a prosecutor, already said there was no way they will be issuing a death certificate w/o a body. Hijo posted that.

Between the FBI and Interpol being involved, the massive search effort that been done so far, and the letter from the girls parents, I see zero reason for any PR disaster or basis for a massive lawsuit.

Forgive me
but What part of IF are people not understanding ??
Should I have used ALL CAPS ?


" IF > Then" .. First day of any course in basic Logic ..

Maybe this is the Reason for all the Arguments in here.
People are not actually reading what others are posting.


Here you go

"If-then" statements, also called conditional statements, are core to logic, expressing a relationship where if a condition (the "if" part, or antecedent) is true, then a consequence (the "then" part, or consequent) follows.

death in absentia is a long and difficult process. My uncle fell in the Frazer River in Canada and there were half a dozen people that saw him swept away. His body wasn't found for 3 months. He was declared dead in absentia, but my cousins had to do a lot of paperwork.

His passport will be held and he will cont to be under watch for at least the next 10 days. A hearing is set for March 28
Just saw this:
Another 2019 file indicates that the young man had an altercation with authorities , where his lack of emotional control and defiant attitude were documented.

Tolentino claimed that these documents prove Riibe has a criminal record in the United States , backing up his argument with the case number and specific details from the report. https://diarioaldia.com/ramon-tolentino-revelo-expedientes-de-joshua-riibe-y-su-historial-en-ee-uu/

There's no point in talking about "if" the government gives them a death certificate - they're not. And it doesn't matter "if" anything - no PR disaster and no massive lawsuit. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

And that's in Canada. According to what Hijo posted, in the DR, no body - no death certificate, not for a very long time anyway.
