Agreed and having the FBI and other US legal authorities involved early in the investigation helped him, as well. Otherwise he would be festering in a DR jail for god knows how long.
Yes indeed .
The DR is the Finest Justice Money can BUY..

I Wonder how the $50,000 that was wired in was divided up ?




Yes, ABC World News just reported that he is on his way back to the USA.

Supposedly boarded a Jet Blue Flight in Santo Domingo ..

You really think he paid his way out of this? Why would he have to? They had nothing to charge him with. Also, we do not know for a fact $50k was wired to him.

Like for 50K he bought his way out of an International incident reported all over the World.

But congratulations you are still batting 1,000. You have been wrong EVERY time..........

I dont know , and we never found a real SOURCE for the 50 K Wire Payment
Was it from his Parents . to the Lawyer ?
I do clearly recall another case in Sosua, where a guy DID pay exacly $50 K , exact amount to get OUT of the DR.
His offense was not having a Licence to FILM with a Crew . Nothing anywhere even near as serious as this young man's situation.
He was on the next plane out as well.
Quite a Coincidence in terms of $ and Timing .
Could very well be just the ATTORNEY FEES though , for doing a Proper Job . and guaranteed outcome .

Please try to Fine tune your Reading Comprehension Skills

I asked a question. Who got what .. how was it divided up.

Were you not one of the people who said he needed a Good Lawyer ..?

Good Lawyers dont come at Bartender Tip Cup Prices ..

I am talking about this. Quoting you from your post. You are clearly saying it was a fix. And true to form you are wrong once more. End of discussion..............

It would really be beneficial if people would post a link to the things they are referring to. I thought that was supposed to be a general requirement. It would definitely make it less likely we'd have to read all of the personal opinions based on nothing. We may have a right to free speech in general, if not on DR1, but if it's merely opinion that isn't and can't be supported what value is it.

Whaaaat? You mean we should have something to back up our claims of fact? I thought we could just say things often enough and with enough ALL CAPS along the way until it becomes true :)

As said many times here you can't get the right time from the US Embassy in SD. They gave him a new passport without the stamp necessary to use it on the passport..........

Joshua Riibe detained in Puerto Rico as his frustrated dad tells reporters to leave them alone after Sudiksha Konanki’s disappearance​

The Iowa man previously named as a person of interest in the disappearance of missing Pitt student Sudiksha Konanki faced another hitch getting home — because his newly replaced US passport did not have the correct stamp in it.

After being detained an additional 8 days illegally over the legal number of 2 days, Josua is heading home.

Since there is no body and no proof of his involvement in anything illicit, there would have been
NO REASON TO PAY ANYONE OFF! He is going home a bit later than he should have been allowed to.

The DR government was still illegally holding his passport, so he quickly was issued a new one.

Other than further conjecture about what happened, that is all she wrote, the fat lady has sung, the game is over and at the end of the day, the bottom line is
there is a 99.9999% chance the missing college student's remains will never be found.


Funny update above about the US government screwing up his passport... Go figure...What stamp is in a brand new passport?
The only one I can think of that might be missing is one going out of the DR...

The new passports that are being issued now are a lot different security wise. I just got one and it is a lot different from my old one. Who knows what these clowns at the Embassy gave this guy.....

DR1 trusty news solved the mystery............

Noticias SIN reports that upon arrival to the San Juan International Airport, Riibe was interrogated by the Homeland Security police officials. As reported, they questioned the emergency passport did not have the stamp of his entry to the Dominican Republic.

how would the new emergency passport have the entry stamp when it was issued because the one with the stamp was 'lost' ? or did Noticias SIN get the exit stamp confused with the entry stamp ?

Agree. But the unreliable US Embassy should have known that and done something about it...........
