Does the two nationalities of the victims mean that the FBI and KLPD will cooperate on the case?
The police report and all the newspapers have spelled the woman's name wrong, as usual. At least one has published an image of her passport, where her actual name is there for all to see.
The least they could do is to make sure the poor woman's name is spelled correctly, don't you think?

With all due respect, Susan, the point is that with all of the police corruption we may sadly never learn why they were murdered, or by whom. I think it is relevant. My condolences to their families, and to those who knew them. We can only hope now the killer(s) see justice.Bob and Audrey lived in Las Terrenas for a while and were a lovely couple-- Please keep the focus of this thread to updates on how/why they were murdered and not a debate on police corruption..... gracias.
not likely, unless there are grounds for this.
the house was still locked, with the keys inside. We heard they are considering maybe murder/suicide.

SUICIDE?! I left the DR 3 years ago. This was one reason. How anyone can say they really feel safe in the DR is beyond me. At least once a week u read/hear of something like this. You cannot trust anyone and if you believe you can, you are only fooling yourself. I have lost track of the amount of ex-pats that have packed it in and moved elsewhere. To live on guard 27/7 is crazy. Being set-up by someone you know is not isolated but epidemic. Now the unions are protesting about wages. The entire judicial system is corrupt. I would not be surprised if during my lifetime there will be a revolution in the DR.
