Im hearing rumours about a woman that disappeared from a hotel in Sosua. She missed her flight home and nobody could find her apparantly. She should of flown back to UK last Monday I believe.

Anyway, today I hear something about police finding a body near Cabarete. Is this true or just rumours? Could the body be this woman???

when you have facts then post, specualtions aren't happening here.

Closed

Local news reports that the body of Denise D Courtnay, a British citizen of approximately 60 yrs of age was discovered in the El Rocon area outside of Cabarete on Monday. The body appeared to have been there for some time.

The article says the deceased was a resident of Sosua, owning 3 apartments there. Her most recent arrival in DR was July 5th. She had been scheduled to leave last Monday.

The deceased was said to have a history of seeking and only socializing with police and military personnel, in order to feel more secure.

Her body has been transported to Santiago for autopsy. An investigation is under way.

Perhaps newspaper articles are considered "speculation" here in this country!
Guess you need to do more sleuthing before posting. ;) lol

Getting too close to the action can get you caught in the crossfire.

QA in EL

If Denise owned three apartments here (as mentioned in online news articles) there must be people who knew her.

I came across a photo of a handsome woman from East London who may picture the deceased.

my point is - there is a link to a woman on one post who may not in fact be dead, that could be distressing to anyone that knows her

samr I am very sorry for your loss. Can I suggest your first point of call should be the British embassy and they can get all the information for you.

The normal phone number is 809 472 7111, but if you get fed up with going around in circles then call the emergency number on 829 726 0753

I am so very sorry for your loss and the dreadful way you had to find out about it. I am going to pm you my phone number in the UK. I normally live in the DR but am in the UK at present. I will put you in touch with the OIC, if your Spanish is not good I will help you.

Thanks Anna for the I.D. to help the family, but now it has been done, do you think the link could be removed by either you or another Mod before the Press pick it up, especially the UK press that are lethal and destructive and also to prevent further distress to the family, as this thread/site may be their only point of contact for the present time
